DISQUS

I've never understood it. Sox fans have been WORSE, if anything, since 2005.

People like McNeil on 1000 are annoying, too.

Why can't Sox fans just talk about their team?!! We get it. You can park at your ballpark. The food is great. You won the championship. Wow. Great. Wonderful.

I haven't been to the Cell since 2000, and I don't plan on going until the Cubs play there. Not because I hate the Sox, I"m just not a Sox fan. Yet, at Wrigley, the place gets Sox fans all the time.

I never understood the concept of wearing any pariphanelia of a team that ISNT playing during the game being watched. I never get it. I have been known to actually walk up to people at Wrigley, and ask 'so, how are the A's doing today?' 'Are they playing?'
I get some weird looks. I don't care. If your team isn't playing, don't wear the jersey/cap.

If you wear a cap of a Sox hat to a Cubs game, or vice versa, you need to get a life.

In 2005, the White Sox played some of the best baseball I've ever seen. They played baseball the right way. I was actually cheering for them a little.

Then, three days after the sweep of Houston, I was in Wrigleyville when some j-holes in a Jeep were circling Wrigley Field with a White Sox banner hanging out the back. They were just yelling at people saying, "Go Sox, Cubs Suck" I lost all respect right there. Get a life.

In 2000, I was watching a Sunday Night ESPN game between the Vikes and Bears downstate. In the bar, somebody asked me what the difference was between Cubs and Sox fans. While the Vikes were killing the Bears, I was struggling to find out how to describe the difference WITHOUT going for the obvious 'deigo T, whispy moustache, wife-beating, union-man' stereotypes.

Then, late in the game, Cade McNown was thrown on his shoulder.

As McNown winced in severe pain, a loud cheer came from the crowd.

The Rams fan next to me said, 'oh my god, are they cheering the fact McNown's seriously injured?!'

Right then I said, "Yep. Oh, btw, THOSE are White Sox fans"
The people that cheer when a player on their team gets hurt. There it was. Plain as day.

I just wrote something on my blog regarding barry rozner's snippet in the herald today. I went off a bit. sorry.

Word. Point, Maddux.

What a twatbag. I was thinking Barry Rozner would write this article, considering how much he can't stand Aramis.

What is this World Series these players keep speaking of?

Who knows what it was. I think I was in my third case of Bud, as well.

Good stuff. I enyoy it. You have a great memory.

I completely forgot about that '97 endeavor.

And, wasn't it 'high-buckled shoes'?

awesome. Yankee fans are jags.

Help wanted?!?! I can work at the Cooperstown Diner? Heaven!

Beautiful. Eric Show had the greatest 'I just crapped my pants' look in baseball history. He was a joke. Now, he's no longer. Joined the ranks of a one Donnie Moore.
It's amazing to think how pumped we would get after winning meaningless games. I got so psyched after the sanchez hbp. I needed to get a life. I think the cubs were still a bit out of first that day.

I think one of them should just say 'entire season of 1999'. It was horrible.

Although, I try to tell younger Cub fans the '91 bullpen was still worse than '99's. Or maybe it was just the fact I was so young.

Speaking of Royko, have you read "Boss"? Great book. Great look into ole Chicago politics.

The Strodes sounds somewhat pornographic.

OH jesus! I was at that game Hawkins game in '05 that the picture shows! Weird. Maddux was mowing them down, then, BOOM! Jason Bay! SOB.

And I apologize...ANYBODY, and I mean ANYBODY who lived through the '91 Pittsburgh series KNOWS that two of those games HAVE to be in the top 5. They were awful. A five run lead. How do you lose a game...if you're the road team...and you hit a grand slam...shaking head.
