im not a cubs fan at all, dont you guys get tired of hearing them talk about "the curse"? stop using that as an excuse, its your own fault youve sucked for the last.......oh lets say 100 YEARS!!! Not trying to start an argument just stating my opinion. I live in mo but have been a braves fan all my life. Feel free to bash them if you want since they didnt even make the playoffs lol. Ive been riding on this devil rays, excuse me RAYS, bandwagon all year and dont plan on getting off anytime soon. Hopefully they can win it all.

When my 1st son was little & learning to talk. I was teaching him our teams. We were showing off for someone.
They were asking him what's the hockey team, what's the basketball team ect. They asked what's the baseball team.
He said White Sox. They said what's the other teams name, he said that WAS the only team.
I was so proud. Does that answer the ??, 99% only like one team. Very few pay attention to both.

You've got cubs fans and sox fans.... anyone that says they're a "chicago" fan is just using an excuse to avoid arguments (it got really popular after the 05 white sox season) ... the cubs fans started embracing it so they can feel some resemblance to what it felt like to have a baseball team actually win anything....

as for those in Chicago ... I'd bet most are 1 side or the other, and the "chicago" fans are the vast minority.

Sox sucked it up yesterday but the cubs made up for it I have my broom on standby

Brooms currently ready for deployment.

Everyone is right. You are either a Sox fan, or a cubs fan. One thing we have in common though, is everyone hates the packers.


Century of FAIL?



I think so.

I got my brooms out for both teams now. There is a reason I have grown up not liking baseball, because I was raised right here in IL, where we dont have a MLB team... Just a few minor league teams trying to "act" the part!

Quick question, how many times has a team came back to win 3 straight after being down by 2 games in the playoffs?

Your mistaking my friend. White Sox have both there Home games left. Unlike that other team on the North side. So save you broom for both team comments.
Your comment about minor league team. White Sox won a World Series 3 years ago. Not to bright I C . Oh , for a person who doesnt like the sport you pay awful alot of time watching it..............

Listen here, yeah the whitesox won... good for them. So did the bulls, but they suck now too...

I dont watch baseball, I would rather watch 2 civics race. Home? Well good luck to them... My broom still waits, just cause they are at home doesnt mean they wont get swept.. If I want to watch baseball, I will watch the highlights, just like nascar, too boring to watch the whole damn thing, just show me the goods!

A little sore after watching tonights game? A little touchy maybe? How bout a rousing game of go **** yourself, and take some mydol!

Neither team will make it past the first round... How much green you want to bet?

No reason for cursing . Use some intelligence to get your point across.
