Where Do Bostons Cubs Fans Go to Watch the Cubs Lose Important Games?
Heya Bostonist, I am a hypothetical Chicago Cubs fan who has just moved to Boston from another large city, where I liked to watch the Cubs among fellow fans. In fact, my old city had a Cubs bar, where Cubs fans would go to watch our team lose all the big games. But, in Boston, I had to watch the Diamondbacks sweep the Cubs in the NLDS all by myself. Where do Boston’s Cubs fans go to gather? Bostonist anticipated this question and began an inquiry last week. We figured that Cubs fans and Red Sox fans have a lot in common. Both franchises are over a hundred years old. They both play in cramped stinkpits shrines of baseball. And the Cubs even have their own, albeit much weirder (and still active), curse. (Theirs involves an aggrieved goat.) So, with all these ties of kinship, Boston is a natural home for the Cubs fan, right? Wrong. Bostonist crept around town last week and caught every one of the NLDS games, hoping to watch them surrounded by jerseys with names like “Lee” and “Soriano.” Y
