Family Night at 'The Cell' as Mr. Ligue and Junior jump out of the stands to pound on a helpless first base coach.

If you need me to describe what this is to you....go to the South Side. You will find this, and more, in and around Wrigley Field.

I believe they actually consider this a sell-out at 'The Cell' .

Just another beautiful day at Wrigley.

I'm not going to get all 'holier than thou' on you, but these are known as illegal substances in most parts. On the South Side it's known as Dinner.

Yeah, that's beer. It's good for you.

There are few people on this Earth that I like less than 'Hawk' Harrelson. If I ever want to fall asleep I just turn on one of his broadcasts. Was fired at one point as GM of the White Sox.

Hey Jack I think it's cute how you mention the hot girls at Wrigley but forget about all the gay guys. Wrigley is LOADED with gays. FACT. Male Cubs fans makeout with each other everytime Jacque Jones strikes out against a lefty. FACT.
Oh yeah and you also missed the part about how Sox fans actually know about baseball. Cubs fans don't know the difference between a double switch and double play. Probably because they're too busy giving each other over the pants handjobs.
And the drugs thing? That's neither funny or relevant. And attendance? The Cubs finished 6th in attendance in 2006, the Sox finished 9th.
And you also forgot that one little thing about winning. The Sox win the world series in 05, come back the next year and win 90 games in the hardest division in baseball. That would be 24 more win then your Cubbies.
I actually don't hate the Cubs, i hope they win every game they play when its not against my white sox, but Cubs fans like you give them a bad name. You're a joke, stick to basketball.
Fact - You want some smack, head to the South Side. It's funny, relevant and sad. Fact - Capacity at the Cell 40,615...Capacity at Wrigley 38,396. With all their dollar hot dog and bring your dog days, there is no reason for the Sox to have smaller crowds. Also, check the parade route that was like 4 deep when they won. Think that will happen when the Cubs win? No. I've forgotten more about baseball than you know. Be careful what you get started.
Easy bro, everyone knows there are more Cubs fans then Sox fans. Congrats, more people like your team. No one is arguing that. The fact that Cubs fans hang that hat on that is whats really funny and sad.
I find it really funny that Sox fans try so hard to prove their existence, yet 156 games a year Cubs fans could care less. It's not that we want your team to do poorly (because I don't wish that on anyone), it's that we don't even acknowledge the team on the South Side unless we have to. This weekend, we have to. Anyone who wishes bad things on someone else's club is just ignorant.
Prove their exsistence? What does that even mean? You're a fucking brick. The Sox don't have to "prove their exsistence" to anyone. They've been good for this entire decade, even won a world series, and have a classy organization. Remember, dog, you wrote this poorly written article, not me. I never like to start this shit, it just reminds me of dumb baseball arguements from high school, but if your gonna go there, then i gotta defend my boys.
I explained it above. It's as if the Sox are the cousin you don't want to acknowledge, yet have to when it comes time to take the family picture. It's not my fault that Sox fans have an inferiority complex. I'm not sure even where it stems from, but it's certainly there. Just look at your responses. I'm not worrying about it one bit. It is spelled arguments, 'dog'. You can start it, you can come in during the middle of it, you can enter towards the end....I can assure you that I will be the one finishing it though.
Just because I have a few mins left here and the ammo is there: 1) Classy organization? Your GM is about as faithful to his players as Frank Thomas was to his wife. Your owner was the one who allowed the MJ led Bulls run to be broken up. You also have the manager who likes to call people fucktards and fa#s, very classy there. Also, have you heard of the 'Black Sox Scandal'? I believe that was your organization as well, no? 2)It's you're. As in, 'if you are going to go there...', 3) You say you are defending 'your boys' but....I didn't say anything about the players on the White Sox, so who are you defending exactly? The fans? If so, I stand firm. I'm good with that for now. Feel free to look around, but if you break it, you buy it.
This guy knows an aweful lot about the homoerotic happenings in the stands.
First of all, I’d like to apologize to the grammer police. Excuse me, I mean the grammar police. I guess that north side education has really paid off for you.
Now obviously not all Cubs fans are terrible people, I have some friends who are Cubs fans and they’re solid dudes. But for some reason there is still a group of Cubs’ fans who are complete taint lickers, like yourself. I would sum up those Cubs fans like this: they know their team has been terrible forever, so they take immense amounts of pride in small, virtually meaningless victories. “Our ballpark is better! Hawk Harrelson sucks! We have better attendance! Our spelling is superb!” They’re the type of fans who are happier when the White Sox lose then when the Cubs win. That is the type of baseball fan you are, Mr. Cobra. You said White Sox fans have an inferiority complex, well Cubs fans have a “we’re better then you” complex.
“....I can assure you that I will be the one finishing it though.”
That has to be the most stuck up/smug statement I’ve ever read in my life. Cubs fans just want the world to know how great they are. You would never see a White Sox fan write a sentence like: “Have I made one seem like Heaven and the other seem like just another run down part of town? I hope so, because because that is exactly what it is.
We’re just baseball fans. Not elitist yuppies.
Oh and you wrote “because” twice, asshole (In an actual article, not just a comment).
Sox fans are just baseball fans? Then where were you while the team was so bad for so many years? Attendence was horrible at Comisky, and only recently has been on the rise.
A baseball fan attends a game to not only support their team but to also take in the atmosphere, the sights, the sounds, and the opportunity to be part of a great game by the best players in the world.
Its clear from reading your post that sox fans are not only not classy (I'm not a grammar guy) they are also not very intelligent. A wise person once told me people call names and swear only because they are not smart enough to think of better words to use.
Go Cubs!
Rick, the point is that we could really care less about the Sox. Why are you so worried about us? If you wrote a similar post on your site, I would read it and laugh. Ask yourself, why are you getting so mad? When I say something about the Sox your first reaction is to get pissed....when you say something about the Cubs, my first reaction is to laugh. I could care less, but keep on posting. We'll take care of you over here.
Also, when you come over to my house and say I'm a 'joke' and have written a 'poorly written article' I'm going to check every single thing you've written in the comments. We want to make sure all of these comments are quality to make up for the writing in the post, right?
Ricky, I got your back. Jack and Hank, I laugh at how you pretend to shrug it all off. Not having won a World Series in nearly a century and having the nickname the 'lovable losers' has got to even make the Lord himself laugh. In addition, I like to know when I have a son someday, I can take him to the ballpark with other blue-collar people like myself and buy a ticket at the gate for a reasonable price. Not having to pay a ridiculous amount for shitty seats in back of a pole and listen to a bunch of ferries.
Hank- Sox fans are not smart? Do you seriously want to argue this? or at least give me one reasonable explanation, and not just "well....because they are sox fans", why every single sox fan is not intelligent
Mr. Beau Chavez, (if I may call you that)Your statement about taking your son to the ballpark is an opinion I can respect. I prefer to pay a little more to take my son to a museum-type stadium where an amazing amount of history (not just baseball) has happened, that's just me. Eight times out of 10 though I'm taking my son to a minor league game so he can get a closer look at the game. As for the near century of futility....yes, it does hurt. More on that as the season progresses. See, you come in here with a valid point and present it and I can talk with you about it a bit....
You know what Jack, you're a fucking piece of shit faggot cubs fan. You obviously do not know one thing about baseball like every other Cubs fan. I bet you didn't know that Harry Carrey was the announcer for the White Sox before he went up to Boys Town. Also, how is the Cubs uniform classic? They look like they are about to bend over and lick eachothers' asses with that "baby" blue. Wrigley is probably the biggest dump I've ever been to. You can have your troughs and cement falling on fans, I'll take a real, state-of-the-art field like Comiskey. Queer.
Mike, Great job. You are changing the world one person at a time. Seriously, why so mad?
Hey Jack, you're talking about history at Wrigley? You must be referring to how the Gay Olympics start and end every year at Wrigley.
Actually Mike....I'll take a crack at it. You know, I hate to just let something like that go. 1) I know all about Harry, how he started in St. Louis, went to the A's (did you know that?), then went to the South Side and left (amid controversy with Finley). You can keep quizzing me though. 2) Bust out your color wheel. It's not 'baby blue'. 3)How many times have they already had to update that 'state of the art' concrete block since it opened? Keep in mind it opened around the same time as other 'baseball stadiums' in Cleveland and Baltimore. It is much better than when it opened, I admit that. 4) Just like you can look at that girl at the end of the bar drinking that Miller Lite and smoking on that Camel and think she's hot.....your opinion of Wrigley is skewed. Mike, I'm actually going to print out your comment and put it on my fridge. Nice work, yo.
Yo Cobra, all smack talk aside, i think you have to agree that this is one of things about having two baseball teams in one city. Everyone loves the Bears and Bulls, but baseball always brings out the best arguments. It's fun more then anything. I'm sure you actually don't think that every Sox fan is a drug addict, just like I don't think that every Cubs fan is gay. It's just fun to smack talk back and forth; it's really the only sport we can do it in.
(Unless you have friends that our Packers fans, and if thats the case, you just have issues.)
Mike, here you go for the history, it would have taken me too long to type it all up. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/ballpark/index.jsp
Keep in mind this doesn't include anything about the Bears/Negro Leagues/Women's Baseball League/etc.
Rickhouse......I certainly agree. Every Sox fan I know has heard everything I wrote 40,000 times before and could care less, just like I've heard every Cubs comment and could care less....I'm just hoping for a fun/healthy series.
I like what Rick said about having two ballclubs in one town bringing out the best arguments, discussions, friendly wagers, and not to mention the divisions of families over 6 games.
Its going to be a great sports weekend in Chicago!
I heart the SOX SOX SOX!!! I go to every game and make OUT with my studly man EVERY time a Thome swings his stick!!!!! I HATE THE CUBS!! All the people that go there are SO Totally QUEER, like they are auditioning for a spot on Queer Eye! YUCK! (**sticks finger down throat**)
Anyway, all you haters who are saying the Cubs fans are the gayest, think again! I am the gayest, greatest man alive and I bleed BLAAAACK!!!!
GO
SOX!!!!!!!!!!!! MUAH!!!
XOXO Gary XOXO
Beau,
I apologize for the sox fans are not intelligent comment. I wasn't referring to all fans (could be any fan: cubs, sox, yankees, cardinals), however read Mike's first post and my point is proven.
He comes in guns blazing and really doesn't have anything intelligent to say.
Wrigley is great ballpark. Lots of history, tradition, and fun everytime you go. "Right field sucks!" Good times.
You guys argue like a bunch of no-fun-having straights!! Let's get this argument festive, colorful and most of all..... G A Y Y Y Y Y ! ! ! ! !
Who have the cuter butts, Cubs players or Sox players? My vote is totally for the SOX!
If you could convert one player in Chicago (not including Pods and Barrett-- those are givens!!! ;-) who would it be!? Believe it or not, I'm going with a wild card...that stallion Jim Thome! What a hoss!!!!!!BOOO YAAAAAHHH!!!
GO S O X! SOX SOX SOX!!! Can't wait to catch some balls in the bleachers this weekend! wink wink OMG !!!!
XOXO GARY XOXO
I think i'm gonna put all these comments in a seperate post, this is just fantastic.
But ok Jack, we're both on the same "blog network" (i feel like such a loser for writing that), I'm a Sox fan, you're a Cubs fan, let's make a little bet. You name the rules, and i'm down. Only problem is there are 6 games so they could tie, but hopefully that won't happen.
Fact: cubs fans have little dicks
Fact: Sox fans fuck bitches
Jack and Rickhouse: Are you two having a secret interview to take over for the PTI boys on ESPN. I can actually hear you guys yelling incessantly from my blackberry. ESPN would be very interested in having more people scream for no reason over the airwaves just like this. You both need to contact your agents.
And neither organization can hold the Cardinals jock in any way.
Rickhouse.....feel free, just remember where to give credit to. Don't want all these people to leave my warm house!
I'm sure these Sox fans will put "bringing the band Journey back to the forefront" as part of their history. I'm still trying to figure out what is worse hearing the Sox sing the Journey song or Juan Pierre rapping whatever the hell it was back in the Marlins championship parade.
uh, what?
More important, Beau, Bundy, and Mikehouse are clearly MVP's of this post.
Also, before this gets sent out to the masses I feel the need to say....Cobra Brigade does not approve of some of the language used on this board but at the same time I feel people should have the right to say what they want to say....no matter how ignorant it is. Ok, continue..
I'm just curious as to what the actual series record is between Chicago-NL and Chicago-AL.
Best cubs/sox memory for me: watching the games with my grandpa, eating popcorn, and drinking cokes....now that's classic!
Wow, this is pathetic. Cub fans are still doing this shit? Hello, World Series 2005. And we have a winning record head to head. Shut the fuck up already.
We look forward to kicking more cub ass as usual this weekend at the Urinal.
The record is 29-25 all time, in favor of the White Sox.
End of discussion.
Love Ur Site, Cobra!!!
Ur smart about baseball...
So do they actually have drunk blonde hags at every Wrigley game?! That's k00l!!
Ur team is good always!!
Call me!!
Zoso, this stuff will be going on until the end of time. You should be used to it by now. You probably grew up with it all your life. Again, why so angry White Sox fans? As for the overall record....I mean, if the Cubs managers had moved their rotations around so that the top of their rotation could pitch in these games just so they could make a name for themselves like a certain White Sox manager has done, it might be different. Like I said before though, we rarely acknowledge the Sox and would rather prepare for the Cardinals or another team like that.
I wouldn't be so proud of a 29-25 record. While it is a winning record, it isn't so awesome that I would say its been a one-sided series. 4 games is not the world...unless you are a White Sox fan apparently!
As a non-2nd City resident (sorry, I like my cities to be 1st Cities), I found this article and comments inciteful. And insightful.
Clearly this is what it would be like if Boston had kept both teams, huh? A city with an inferiority complex trying to out-superior the other team?!?
Anyway, as an objective observer, even though Cobra makes the better case, I still have to go with the White Sox. Because, try has you might, gambling fixes, drugs, and the violent South Side actually makes the Sox sound more appealing to me. Drinking beer in the suburbs with boring white guys who like Harry Carey? Me pass...
hey it is thome. i know I have a nice ass. also have a hot ass wife. Anyway when I am done giving ozzie his daily handjob. im gonna hit some hoemrs off lilly!
game 1 Sox 8 Cubs 3
2) Sox 10 Cubs 3
3) Sox 3 cubs 2
Did someone say handjobs?
XOXO GAY GARY XOXO
I love the "We don't care about the Sox" comments on a page dedicated to bashing them.
That's some real ambivalence there.
I'm just finishing up watching a replay of Buerhle's no-no. It's pretty cool. Maybe Prior will have one down in AAA sometime soon. Or at least he can "simulate" one.
As you can tell from SML's comments, my portrait of the White Sox actually made him go with the Sox.
I actually just watched the replay of the Colorado vs. Arizona game from last night. That Chris Young is a talented ballplayer.
Casual Observer on casual Friday, very nice.
Cobra's description of White Sox = Chicago Vice City.
By the way, if all the tickets get sold, shouldn't be called a Cell-out?
thank you, thank you... I'll be here all week. Drive safely....
I thought this page was dedicated to all things sports. I wasn't aware that this was a White Sox bashing page. I must subscribe then!
By far the most entertaining 15 minutes of my week so far...I think that we need to get "Gay Gary" and "Mike" to go to one of the games together this weekend...record it all, post it on Youtube, and finally make Mike realize that he loves men...especially gary.
OMG CAPT MORGAN, you are a boy genius!!! I'll totally go 2 the game tomorrow with "Big" Mike (I hope the "Big" isn't just a myth ;) and we should totally video tape it! I'd have him in my pants by the 5th inning! I bet I could turn Jesse Jackson to the dark side, so Mike shouldn't be a problem!
GO S O X!!!!
MUAH!!!
Mike, calllllll me girll...
XOXO GARY XOXO
I was at that homo haven wrigley today. i must say it was full of queers and i sat by this total homo in a pink boa who was trying to make out with me by the second fucking inning. it was so bad i had to leave early, apparently you gotta keep your butthole tight just to watch a fuckin ballgame on the north side.
Bullshit.
That was me in the pink boa you big silly boy you!!!! I know I was trying a little too hard to make out with you early on in the game, but why don't you tell the forum what I got you to do in the 4th inning!!
Let's just say the concession stand wasn't the only place giving out chili dogs ;-)
Mike was a baaaad boy on the North Side...LUV YA GIRRRRL!!
XOXO GARY XOXO muah!
To Mike:
For a guy that apparently can't stand gay people, you spend an awful lot of time talking about them and hanging around them....that's just an observation I've gathered from your posts.
Notice, not ONE mention of TEAM or PLAYER accomplishment.
That's Cubs' baseball for ya. "Hey hey!!! Who cares about baseball... let's get drunk and stare at titties!"
98 years and counting mutherfuckers... 98 years.
2-0 this weekend, yo. The point of the post wasn't to compare players on each team. It was to help people differentiate one team from the other if they weren't already familiar with them.
Cobra, if you're attemtping to "differentiate one team from the other" shouldn't something like "team accomplishment" factor into that equation. You just rehashed tired ass stereotypes that only serve to obscure the fact that the Cubs are a historically awful...AWFUL team. They're perennial cellar-dwellars. And when they're not scraping rock bottom, they're devising knew and ridiculous ways to choke away any hope they might give their fans. Then in typical fashion, the chokes are "reasoned" away with stories of curses and "fan interference". GMAFB.
You're a hater. That's no way to live. If you really want to differentiate the teams, let's do it with what really matters-- Winning. Let's look at, say, the last five years as a small sample pool. I think it all speaks for itself.
Congrats on taking this series though and I'll see you at the Cell in a month...
To: Casual Observer
Thank you for giving me some "research". You mention "team accomplisment." So, naturally I had to take you to task and check it out for myself. For such a "storied" team like the White Sox, they have only made 8 trips to the postseason since 1906. Two this decade, one in the 90's, one in the 80's, and none in the 70's or 60's. WOW...THAT IS A WINNING HISTORY!! The Cubs have made it to the playoffs 14 times, the last time being in 2003. Most of them, however, were before most of us on this site were born. The White Sox do lead 3-2 in World Series' won.
Cubs- 3 90-win seasons since 1950, 5 90-loss seasons since 1990
Sox- 14 90-wins seasons since 1950, 0 90-loss seasons since 1990
The champagne is on ice in the clubhouse, and space for the 2007 1st Half Chicago City Champions Trophy is being made in the Cubs' trophy case as we speak. It will sit proudly next to their many Attendance Championship Trophies, and the 2003 Almost Made The World Series Banner.
Fuck this loser franchise and their loser fans.
Casual,
Let's just go with the history of each team since the last 5 years is such a small sample size. Here is your team accomplishment factor:
Hall of Famers that were in each organization - Cubs 51, White Sox 33. I believe the Cubs have more 500+ HR hitters in their history and more 300 + win pitchers who spent the majority of their career with the team (that's how I can leave out Carlton and Seaver for the Sox). Cubs all time regular season record (since 1903) 8159-7993 (.510), White Sox (8300-8092) (.506)
To: Ron Mexico
Please look at anonynous' post for a more realistic assessment of the last 50 years of both franchises.
The Sox won in 2005 and followed up with another 90 win season in 2006 in the BEST DIVISION IN BASEBALL while not even playing their best ball.
I love how Cubs fans now try and minimize the World Series win when we ALL know that there was a race going on in Chicago to see who'd end the drought first. The Sox made smart moves and put together a team that could do it. You guys sat there and cheered for a steroid abusing cheater as your team choked away their chance in 2003 and eventually sank to the bottom of one of the worst divisions in baseball. The only reason the Cubs made half their ridiculous moves this offseason is because FINALLY the pressure was on BECAUSE the Sox won it all...
You owe us your ass. But you're still not going to win the World Series this year because, when it's all said and done, they're still the Cubs, they still play stupid fucking baseball, and they still don't care as long as all those lemmings fill the seats every goddam game.
It's winning that matters boys and girls... not how many drunk douchebags are in your park every game.
The next stat I'm going to come up with is how many f-bombs and homosexual slurs sox fans have been throwing across this board over the last week. I'll have to average it out per user, but it should be interesting. Thanks for coming out to Wrigley this weekend Sox fans, we'll see you at the Cell....although, I'm not sure when we play you again, I'll have to check the calendar.
No...let's NOT go back to 1903 because noone care that the Cubs were once a good team back before 1950!! It's pathetic that you guys refuse to look at the past 5-10-20 years of pathetic underperformance and instead choose to trumpet nonsense such as attendance and Ronny Woo-Woo and what happened back in the 30's and 40's.
And trust me, if we want to talk classiness, you're sure as hell not going to find it in the bleachers at Wrigley. Don't kid yourself. There's scumbags at both parks.
It's just Sox fans don't trash their field to show disappointment. We hit them in the pocketbook, y'know, where it matters.
That's called being "responsible fans".
Disco Night at Comiskey anyone? Taking 5, 10 or 15% of history isn't a good way to look at things. If you did it that way you might say that the Iraqi insurgants are better soldiers than the U.S. solidiers? Or, that for the last month George Bush has been a decent prez, so that's how he's been the whole time. Or, that since Ozzie's moves this weekend aren't working...that makes him a bad manager overall. See how none of those statements make sense?
I really hope you didn't just make those comparisons.
Obviously an exaggeration showing that if you are going to compare something as large as a 'franchise' you need to look at the big picture.
Nice win today by the Sox....and a much needed series win for the Cubs. Good luck the rest of the season Sox fans.
"Obviously an exaggeration showing that if you are going to compare something as large as a 'franchise' you need to look at the big picture." --
This is exactly what you didn't do with this silly web page.
ANYWAY..this series was exhausting. Cubs managed to jump all over the Sox ineffective bullpen. A lesser team would've found a way to not exploit their weaknesses. I will give credit for that.
The weekend was somewhat saved, once again, by a certain AJ Pierzynski who knows how to piss off his haters.
Anyway, we can all go back to our corners for now.
May interleague play rot in hell...
Agree with Casual Observer on every level. After watching these three games i think i need a little break from baseball for a day or two.
I'm beyond tired of this as well, as it seemed I needed to spell everything out letter for letter. The point was made, the Cubs are the better franchise/team/organization/fan base/part of town/way of life/etc. Please don't make me go through the analysis of this again....Thanks
I'd have to agree with you except you're wrong and a moron.
I just want to know why the greatest fans in the world all started leaving before the rain delay. Oh that's right, the "real experience" is outside the park. :rolleyes:
One day you lemmings will understand.
Again, a White Sox fan goes straight to using interesting language. You know, I laugh every time I read one of your posts. Thanks for that. As for leaving during a rain delay....what happened at the Cell on Opening Day/Night after they won the WS? Good night. Thanks for playing.
What language are you talking about. "Moron"? I'm sorry, is that too harsh for you?? Lighten up, Francis.
And are you talking about the THREE HOUR rain delay on Opening Day '06. Little bit different scenario, wouldn't you say? If you could read and/or pay attention you'd notice that I said people were leaving BEFORE the delay.
For the record, I stayed that night and saw Thome's first blast in a Sox uni.. twas a thing of beauty. How'd that 2006 season end up for ya anyway?? :)
For such a 'Casual Observer', you sure are taking an active role in this comment board. Congrats on sticking out the rain delay. This time in your message it was the smiley face at the end that made me laugh. TUP/Rickhouse has a decent White Sox page, you should go check it out and talk with some of your friends.
link?
I'm going to give you a little credit and assume you can figure it out. I have all important links located along the left hand side of the screen (see how I say I'm not going to help out, yet I still do?).
It's the right side... but anyway....
That...you are correct about. Sorry, right side. Now run along kids.
The Chicago Cubs are a fledging failure of a SPORTS franchise. If we were arguing about soft drinks or bubble gum, then the Cubs would be a successful consumer product. Unfortunately for you, we are talking about a professional SPORTS franchise. The objective goal in professional sports is to WIN. The Sox win whereas the Cubs LOSE.
Wow, very insightful. You present a very strong case backed up with a lot of facts and other useful information. You have that caps lock thing down though, no doubt. I could really tell that those were the words you wanted to put emphasis on. kudos.
It's not exactly fair to compare the Sox and Cubs win-loss records side by side because they play completely different competition. Since interleague play has started it has shown that the talent level between the AL and the NL is vastly different.
Here's some stats that you might find interesting though:
The White Sox now lead the all-time series against the Cubs 30-27, having gone 16-11 at home and 14-16 at Wrigley Field.
Including postseason, exhibition, spring training and regular-season games, the Sox have a 161-112-7 advantage over the Cubs.
Now, who's the better better franchise/team/organization/etc...?
Yeah, those spring training and exhibition records seal the deal.
Somebody finally comes up with some solid facts (rahter than useless stereotypes) that prove you wrong and that's all you can come back with?
Man 82 comments, this is insane. Goes to show you that you should never let facts get in the way of a perfectly good blog post.
Just me....you'll see above your comment post that I gave records and facts for games that actually matter.
nice work though finding that info. feel better now? a little pat on the head, a cookie on your plate?
You are right 80+ comments is pretty weird. It's like...people just can't let it go, or maybe the feel like they have something to prove so they keep writing. As you can tell, my answers are becoming much shorter. It's all out there at this point. Everyone can form their own opinion.
I just can't get over how goofy and bird-like that girl is that you used to represent the "fans" at Cubs games. You know as well as I do she has no clue what's going on.
On second thought, maybe she's the perfect example...
We all know about the little trixies running around Wrigley. She is just a representation of an attractive woman, wearing Cubs garb, enjoying an Aramark labeled lager and enjoying a game...Whether you like her or not is up to your own taste.
And I told you why you can't use those records and facts for games that matter to compare the two franchises. If the Cubs played in the AL and faced the same teams the Sox do every year, then it might make more sense.
Speaking of those facts you posted, there is one glaring error. The # of hall of famers for the Cubs is 37, not 55. That's directly from the Cubs official website. Your other "facts" are guesses at best.
Here's one fact you can't dispute # of WS rings Sox 3, Cubs 2. 100 years and counting.
