08:08 AM ET 01.16 | Once considered the all-American Cub, Ryan Theriot suddenly has morphed into public enemy No. 1 on the North Side. At least that was the impression fans and players left Saturday at the Hilton Chicago whenever the name of the ex-Cubs infielder was brought up at the Cubs Convention. Theriot made some caustic remarks about the Cubs organization to a St. Louis radio station after being traded from the Dodgers to the Cardinals in November, leading to his newfound status as a villain. He said he was "finally on the right side" of the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry and that the Cubs never stressed winning a World Series when he came up in the organization.

Theriot is Bartman. He went into the witness protection program long ago and learned to hit a curveball.

the Cubs never stressed winning a World Series when he came up in the organization.
I suppose the Cubs can be as angry as they want about this statement, but when you look at their record for the last 100 years, isn't it true?

I don't disagree with what he said.
If your a Cubs fan you have to know that your franchise has been amongst the worst in MLB the last 90+ years based on the decisions it has made.
Now, if your franchise was going for the beer selling record, well then, you would be # 1.

Any player should know that winning a World Series is the goal. Why should the Cubs have to tell Theriot that's why they, or any player on any team for that matter, plays?

Why are they upset? It's blatantly obvious that he is now on the right side of the rivalry.

So Theriot is "Public Enemy #1" for saying out loud what over 100 years of history have already proven. Welcome to the right side of the rivalry, Ryan.

Shouldn't he have a pork chop and go to Kansas City?
Nah, never mind. That's not funny...

The-Riot is just that...a riot. He's irrelevant. The Cardinals can enjoy his little league arm and limited range.

What does "public enemy #1 for Cubs fans" get you? The certainty that a World Series win will never be rubbed in your face?

Who really cares what Theriot says; he sucked and was very overrated. He was average in the field, he was a horrible baserunner, and he couldn't get a walk if his life depended on it. The Cards fan will hate this guy, especially after he hits a homerun and thinks he's Babe Ruth or when he gets thrown out once a game on the base paths. He's a joke and the Cubs are a better team without him.

If the Cubs didn't mention winning the World Series, it would be kind of like going to church and the preacher not mentioning God. But, somehow I believe Theroit. The Cubs record speaks for itself.

True. If he's getting innings for the Cardinals, that's the best news the Cubs can get. It shows how many issues the Cardinals have with their sub-par lineup. Pujols can only cover up so much.
