Yesterday I briefly mentioned the idiocy of Cubs fans and writers in passing. Now here it is, confirmed, incontrovertible.
Fifty-seven percent of Cubs fans (well, those reading the Tribune and voting in a mind-numbing poll, anyway) would agree with the Cubs placing Carlos Zambrano on waivers, presumably to say goodbye.
57 percent. The Tribune follows the Boston media-copyright blueprint of running talent out of town (e.g., Manny Ramirez), and 57 percent of Cubs fans concur.
Instead of shipping out a once-in-a-generation pitcher, however, could we ship this 57 percent of Cubs voters to a different allegiance? Say, the White Sox? Maybe the Brewers?
