I actually almost made the Cubs fan in this scenario a Mets fan, but then I decided I wanted to have the character be from Chicago. (The actor I chose to play him in the fake TV show meme this comes from played a guy generally assumed to be from NYC on the show he's known for, so I wanted to get away from that.)
From your comment, and another person's, it seems like "They haven't come near a pennant in twenty years" would be a good way for one of the characters to comment on the suckiness of the other team.
