Why do the Dodgers have problems with the Cubs?


I note that with Thursday's Dodgers victory over the Cubs, the Dodgers improved their all time record against the Cubs to 1015 - 1014.

1015 - 1014?

Considering how good the Dodgers have been historically and how bad the Cubs have been, how could this be? Didn't Dodger greats Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Lee Lacy, Roy Campanella, Duke Snider, Jeff Hamilton and Steve Garvey rack up their share of wins against the hapless Cubs over the years? Guess not.

To add insult to injury, the Cubs fans don't even care. They just drink beer in the bleachers, sun themselves out there, call their bestest girlfriend to let them know they are at the game, mimic Ferris Bueller and also dispose of partially filled beer cups by throwing them at opposing players. They typically don't even know the score at any time during the game. Hey, truth is a defense to any libel action so back off!

Dodgers, you can't beat that?

Come on, bear down! It's the Cubs.

(I am going to be monitoring this a little closer from now on. Something is going on here that I just can't put my finger on)

Keep in mind, there was a whole chunk of the 20th century in which the Dodgers absolutely sucked. In fact the Dodgers and Cubs pretty much swapped identities around mid-century. After 50 years of sucking almost every year, the Dodgers started winning, and giving the Cubs a taste of their own medicine.

The way it should be.
