White Sox 12- Cubs 2

Don't want to talk about this game either. The White Sox were hot and got a lot of breaks, like a home run off of a foul pole (opposite field) and a single that hit off of a base and went straight up into the air. The local newspaper ran a spot today where Cub fans could say why they hate White Sox fans and vice versa. Pretty interesting what both sides had to say. Then I tuned into 720 while I was driving around and listening to some drivel by White Sox fans. Geez, they haven't won anything yet except beat the Cubs three times this season. And here I give you the biggest difference between White Sox and Cubs fans. If the White Sox do sweep this series, this is all we will hear about for the next week, about how much better the White Sox are doing, stuff we already know. The Cubs did sweep the Sox last year, and all I heard was complaining about how easy the Cardinals schedule was (playing the Royals 6 times) and how much better they still needed to play to outlast the Cardinals. Ever since the Cubs have become actually good and have put something on the field (I'll contend since Sosa), the White Sox fans have gone out to prove that they are better than the Cubs. The Cubs fans have played off the importance of the Sox series and focused on the Cardinals. I could almost guarantee the die-hard fans of both teams would say they would rather want to beat the Cardinals/Twins. But the casual Cub fan is an elitist and they don't really care about that other team that plays in Chicago. Instead of embracing the hard-working, bring your lunch to work, the Chicago mentality, the White Sox fans have turned into a bunch of whiners and have tried to prove they are better than the Cubs. Be yourself White Sox fans. You have a terrific team with a great manager who doesn't take BS from anybody. If the current Cubs manager continues his ways, the casual baseball fan in Chicago could really take to the Southside team. Just quit whining.
