So, I have my answer. The Cubs rule. I thought long and hard about it. Mostly, I played my baseball game for the PS2, and was signed by them. And you can ask Christy, I put a lot of effort and research into that game. Also, I thought back to two of my favorite movies of all time, The Blues Brothers and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, both of which have a scene with something involving the Cubs (Elwood Blues puts the address for Wrigley Field down for his driver's license, and Ferris, Cameron and Sloane go to a Cubs game). Also, Will Ferrell impersonating Harry Caray is one of the funniest things I heard in Iraq. I am officially a Cubs fan. I am even thinking about buying a hat. So there. CUBS WIN!!!

One of the problems that I've noticed with living in Utah, is an immense lack of professional sporting teams. Sure, we have the Jazz, but what does that give us during the summer? Real Salt Lake? Meh... Anywho, I've decided that I want to be a baseball fan, and in being a baseball fan, I need a favorite team whose greatness I can argue about at the many baseball-themed outings that I frequently attend. So, I'm turning to you, my faithful readers (i.e., people who randomly stumble upon this blog). Who should that team be? I really only have two brushes with baseball. First, when I was around 8, I played little league. I was on the Royals, which is one connection I have. The second? I was given a baseball game for the Playstation on my birthday this year. I created a player, and am trying to make it to the Hall of Fame. He was signed by the Mets, so there's that.
Anyway, who should it be? You tell me...
