So what city has the worst baseball fans?\u00a0 Coming up with a Top 5 (in alphabetical order) is easy:\u00a0 Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia (damn, we\u2019re a bunch of scumbags on the east coast).\u00a0 But picking a number 1?\u00a0 That gets a little tougher.\u00a0 Each city could lay claim to that title, but The Machine gives you the real answer, after analyzing it through our exclusive Teabag-ometer\u00ae :\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Yes, loyal Machine readers.\u00a0 Chicago, and in particular Cubs fans, are the Worst. \u00a0Fans. \u00a0Ever.\u00a0 Sure, your chances of getting killed at a Dodgers game are pretty high, but that\u2019s only if you root for the other<\/span> team.\u00a0 In Chicago, they turn on their own.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Monday marked the 10th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the Steve Bartmann fiasco.\u00a0 Sidebar:\u00a0 that was ten years ago???\u00a0 Damn, we\u2019re old.\u00a0 Anyway, we all remember the scene, but let\u2019s give a quick recap:<\/p>\n

Game 6, Cubs v. Marlins.\u00a0 Cubs are ahead in the series 3-2.\u00a0 Top of the 8th<\/sup>, Cubs leading 3-0 and are 5 outs away from going to their first World Series in 58 (now 68) years.\u00a0 The Wrigley faithful are electric.\u00a0 This is our year\u2026and then it happens.<\/p>\n
