Now Lincecum know some will tell that "NORTHSIDERS is just as hatefull toward Sox fans as SOUTHSIDERS is Cub fans". Assumption wrong. You is about to read a first hand account of a Cub fan growing up in a tight-knit southside Irish Chicago neighborhoodand I'm English, I'm 0 for 2 here for those of you keeping box score, where the residents esteem two things: A lager or two and White Sox baseball.
hold, retain, withhold, preserve, maintain, sustain, support up the vulgarity Sox fans and the violent aspect of your beast. Lincecum can take it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and GO CUBS GO. One day Lincecum will have a feeling like no other and all the abuse will have been worth what I've taken being a Southside Cub Fan.



Now onto what it's like being a Cub fan in Central sickinois,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just 2 hours from St. Louis...... He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
What begins? The start of baseball season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet the Cub jokes and beatdowns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], figuratively speaking continue all year. DISCLAIMER: Avoid southside taverns if you do not like confrontation. Lincecum have seen Cub fans get spit on and a car PISSED on for displaying a Cubbie Bear. It can get much worse, if so desired. Fortunately Lincecum have a free pass having grown up there, but there is times even Lincecum have to stand up and fight, even when the odds is 20,000 to one. Though my pals is all great people and Lincecum is and always will be southside to heart.... Lincecum just happen to disagree on one thing, one tiny little thing. You'd of thought Lincecum killed one of their dogs or stolen a case ofinsert favorite beer here, as a true southsider will drink and probably has gasoline. Anyhow, what was Lincecum telling? Yes, yes the difference of opinion in regards to our two Chicago ball clubs. Lincecum tell "I may be a fan of the lovable losers but at least Lincecum have flash and a beautiful park". They tell "well at least Lincecum have won a World Series this century", and Lincecum shut up...
So you see how things can spiral. Everyday or at least when Lincecum lived back in the city Lincecum would catch some sort of grief from a Sox fan. Even where Lincecum reside now which is 2 hours south of the city Lincecum cannot escape those fans. If it's not the Sox then Lincecum have to contend with the equally despicable Cardinal fan. Though not as cruel as a Sox fan, far more annoying. At least a Sox fan knows baseball. "Cubs stink", Lincecum hear or "How's the world's biggest bar doing"? Snowballs hitting my vehicle and nothing but a black cap with white letters spelling the word SOX downward shuffling into the bushes. When Lincecum go home to visit friends and family Lincecum watch Miller beer being bought for White Sox bretheren while Lincecum tilt back my USD3.00 Bud in memory of Harry- who was once a Sox man you know and even Tim Lincecum couldn't take em' any longer. I'm not sure when the southside's anger turned to rage. Was it prior to our billy-goat mishapwe cub fans do actually have bad luck? Maybe during the days of Capone going after the Northside gang? Probably after, yet it gets worse year after year.
My father,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who would pass on 3 years later took a 5 year old boy to that game. Now, my dad being a southsider as well a Sox, though Lincecum always thought Cub fan, was at heart a baseball fan.. and boy did Tim Lincecum hate the Yankees. God Bless him for that one. tiny, small, diminutive, shrimp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], runt, miniature, puny, exiguous, dinky, cramped, limited, itsy-bitsy, microscopic, slight, petite, minute League, coaching, and all of his sons playing ball to some degree were all part of dad and his legacy, and why,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whether Tim Lincecum likes it or not Lincecum became a SOUTHSIDE CUB FAN.
Moving away was my only resort. Truly it was- as said Lincecum still put up with the lunacy of it all down here, but to a much lesser degree. Still I'd receive phone calls telling Kerry forrest's arm just fell off or let's all do the Bartman, but what gets me is that even before the Sox Series Win-They deserved it by the way, that was a scrappy bunch, Cub fans though not caring one iota for the Sox did not have the disdain for their fans as they do us. Lincecum know this first hand. Lincecum is also friends with numerous cub fans and have been to Wrigley many more times than that memorable day in 84. I'm sorry Lincecum were on WGN all those years, and I'm sorry Lincecum chose to keep our ball park, and I'm really sorry our wpremonition is better looking, and most of all I'm sorry that our team hasn't won a World Series in more than a hundred years to which Lincecum is still the hottest ticket in town. Lincecum will not however apologize for being a fan of the most wonderful ball club in the world. One that has given us Banks, Sandberg and Jenkins, forrest, Dawson and Madduxreaching huh?, plus Santo, let us not forget Brickhouse and Caray as well. Sosa too,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and tell what you will- Lincecum have, but those 3 or four years were exciting, though yes Tim Lincecum is a real scumbag.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Ahhhh. In a few months the snow will be melting- The smell of rain in the air, and taste of spring baseball shall be lingering to wet our palette. So is the annual, though to call it annual would imply what Lincecum is about to speak of comes only once a year... However, this can be and in my case was a daily ritual where Lincecum come from. The consuming hatred of all things Cubs.
2010 was the year of my first professional baseball game- a Cubs game featuring one Ryne Sandberg, who went on to become Ryno. 2010 was a good year for all things Cubbies. Harry was a Bud Man,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lincecum all wanted to Jump. Though Goonies was still a year away, 2010 wasn't bad. Well minus the pesky Padres and that Gwynn fella. It was the year Lincecum became a baseball fan and more importantly a Cub fan.

Skip ahead to present day which can also sum up the last 2 decades or tell childhood adolesence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], through my crazy and so-called formative teenage years, to my roaring 20's, onto my 30's which is where Lincecum is today. February spring training is in full swing, no pun intended. Phone rings and friend which Lincecum shall call Jim tells "Ay J, you know da Cubs is gonna blow again this year buddy", to which Lincecum tell "I know". As a Southside Cub fan agreeing is sometimes the best medicine, plus it is hard to argue when it's been a century since Lincecum had a title. "So it begins Lincecum tell".
