My thoughts exactly... Of course the White Sox are going to win big now. They do this every year. Once they are out of contention, they decide to start winning... It was even the case with those brutal teams in the late 80s. GO FIRE!
Folks, the fact of the matter is that the Fire and Cubs are neck and neck for the title of the best team in town. The Bulls are next, then the Bears and BHawks, and then, maybe then, the Sox. Sorry.
Wait, wait. The Bears are better than the Sox? The Blackhawks, too? You are aware that the White Sox have a winning record, despite the fact that they choked, right? Perhaps you missed the issue of the Tribune where the Bears are 0-2. Maybe your Sun-Times with the Blackhawks preview was eaten by a neighborhood jungle cat. I don't know.
ehg, wait until next year i suppose. naturally, i mean wait until next year when it'll just happen again.
Um, while the Sox did choke and certainly don't deserve to win their division, they still will have a winning record. The Bears and the Blackhawks are the two worst teams in their respective leagues. Closer to a championship??? There is a better chance of me scoring a date with Jennifer Love Hewitt than either of those teams winning anything. At least the Sox fooled you into thinking they had a chance... GO FIRE! I'm just hoping the Fire will make up for all this summer!!
Hypothetical question--If the cubs did go on to win the world series how many sox fans would cut their wrists?
Don't worry about Cub fans. They'll just hire private security and put up concrete barricades around Lincoln Park. - Paul
HAHA. I have this friend who says that if the Cubs were ever about the win the World Series. He'd wait until two outs in the 9th and then run out on to the field wearing explosives and run into the Cubs dugout and blow everything up....thereby preventing it from it happening.
Well, I guess that proves that at least 1 Sux fan is bright enough to have something sink in from the time they spend at bin-Laden's training camp for terrorists. Pathetic.
Ahhhh. Just now recovering from my day yesterday at Wrigley. I had Sox fans (friends of mine) sitting behind me. The 8 year old told me that it was "the worst day of his life". I just had to laugh. They teach hatred at a young age down south. And of course, the thing that really drives them crazy is that they know we could care less about them.
Alright, I was pretty happy about yesterday until I read this. What a waste of tickets to have Sox fans there hoping to see the Cubs lose.
Every pro-Cub I dealt with yesterday got the same response...."Oh yeah? Wait til the Fire are in the championship again! Then you'll see how much I will be partying!"
The thing is.....rooting against the Cubs is just too damn fun!!! But seriously, I know just as many Cub fans who root against the Sox than Sox fans who root against the Cubs. I once was at a bar, and both games were going, you had cheers for both teams when they did good, and when they both did bad. Its harmless fun.
This thread is too funny! Everyone I talked to yesterday assumed that I was thrilled that the Cubs won. I think that is what ticks off Sox fans the most. There are people out there that could care less about the beloved Cubs. Just can't get myself to jump on that bandwagen. My interest in baseball for the season ended last week. I can't wait for the next Fire match! Too much to cheer for to stay depressed!
I'm a fire fan first. I'm a fan of other chicago sports teams also but the problm is when the others do well it knocks the fire off the newspaper pages alltogether.
Sox fans are jealous of the coverage the Cubs get period. No one cares about the Sox. They are second class citizens in this town when it comes to baseball. I am a Fire fan first but I love my Cubbies!! MLS cup and a World Series in the same season. What else could I ask for! Go Fire and Go Cubs!!!!!!! P.S. Sox suck!!!
I saw three Fire jerseys in Wrigleyville last night, which of you was out there parting?...and which of you didn't respond when I yelled "who's the best?" and didn't get a response, except from everyone around me shooting me a WTF look?
I rest my case. It's about suicide bombings son, we can move the class along a bit more slowly for Sux fans if we need too. . .
