He's Wrong …
I Mean Really Wrong, on So Many Levels …
Still, I love Bob Waters and his latest attempt to gain sympathy for a team that will probably never gain the World Series. Bob's eisegesis leads him to proclaim that God is a Cubs fan.
Of course, God, as Ask the Pastor recently blogged, favors "the side with the best artillery." This cannot be the popgun-packing Little Bears.
All of his arguing that the Cubs truly live out a "theology of the cross" is only so much buncombe: It parallels the (satin-lined) hair shirt of false humility with which Cub fans are wont to cloak themselves.

Hey, Aardvark- maybe you guys with the big guns can even win a series from the team with "popguns" like Ramirez and Lee and Garciapparra and Prior and Wood and Zambrano some day!
I must say, though... a theology of glory does not become you!
