Gotta say: I can't stand Cubs fans. I live in proximity to Cubs fans, to such a degree that the class I taught tonight was in a "multimedia classroom" -- projection screen, PC, DVD, VCR, pornpipe (thankfully no cable or broadcast). Game started about 1/3 of the way through class. Yes, I took the breaks to give updates. No I didn't enjoy it.
But I did appreciate the applause when the Marlins clinched. Not crazed fans, but polite appreciation. guys.
