It doesn't matter whether you are a diehard fan or a wishy-washy in betweener. You really need to reconsider the Chicago Cubs as your favorite baseball team because of the following reasons.

1. All of their winning streaks are over-excessive and redundant

What do they think they're proving by repeatedly winning games? That they're the best in the MLB or something?

2. It's not fair that the Cubs get to have the league's best players all to themselves

This season, the entire infield started in the All Star game. Maybe they should start sharing their players and be a little bit more considerate of those teams that are less fortunate. I'm sure their neighbors, the White Sox, could use the help.

3. Sometimes you get distracted from the baseball game because of the attractiveness of the players

I mean, seriously?! How do you expect me to pay attention to the game when they keep showing these guys smiling on TV?

4. Anthony Rizzo's catches make you so uneasy and squirmish that you may just fall out of your seat

"Well there goes the foul ball. But wait, what is he doing? Oh no. Oh no, he can't possibly....!!!!"

5. The Chicago Cubs' history is just way too rich to handle

Due to the fact that the Cubs have existed as a franchise since 1870, there is a lot of history in the development of the team. But who really cares about all that stuff anyway?

6. Their fans are way over optimistic, cheery, and loyal

Despite a 108 year drought of winning a championship, Cubs fans remain faithful through the ups and downs. Their ability to have fun in any situation whatever the score maybe, is simply irritating.

7. They purposefully embarrass their players and think its funny


First, they made all of their players humiliate themselves by dressing up in pajamas. Then when the Cubs headed to the playoffs last season, they had their rookie players dress up like princesses as a rite of passage. How could they treat their players so harshly! Please join me in boycotting this cruel injustice.

8. Jake Arrieta is so rude and merciless that not once, but TWICE he wouldn't even let the opposing team get any hits

Wow. What a show off.

9. The players use their free time to volunteer instead of practicing their sport

These guys are professional athletes. Shouldn't they only being doing things that they get paid to do?

10. All of Wrigley Field's particular features make it so abnormal and atypical


OK, first of all, they put ivy on their outfield walls. Like who does that? Also, they have this bizarre thing called rooftop seating where fans can enjoy the game from a building rooftop outside of "the friendly confines." And apparently Wrigley Field doesn't even care about being outdated and old-fashioned because it still has a hand-turned scoreboard which has been there since 1937. Get with the times already, gosh!

11. They actually have a chance at winning the World Series this year

Wait....I take it all back. Just root for them already. Clearly they're the best.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
