LittleHurt05 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The NL game should be a pitchers duel, but after what the Cardinals keep doing to Kershaw, it will probably be 8-7. Baseball, man. And I hope A Rod hits 3 homers in the other game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really not. 1) Cubs fans are a more nation wide fanbase. There are nearly as many Cub fans in Austin as there are Astros or Rangers fans here. You're never going to make those people White Sox fans. 2) When the White Sox were good, you know a huge portion of the people watching were Cub fans. Also, they don't affect our organization. Period. If the Sox are good, they have enough fans to go. If they're bad, no one bothers. Cubs have nothing to do with it.

So you don't think there are casual sports fans in Chicago that jumped on the Cubs bandwagon this year and went to their games/watched them on tv and are now Cubs fans for life? After seeing the insanity of the Blackhawks bandwagon over the last 5 years, the Cubs being consistently good would definitely hurt in developing the next generation of Sox fans.

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Yeah sorry but that's an awful post. The cubs directly impact our fanbase. Can't believe anyone would deny that.

But yeah you don't have to look farther then them to see what winning does to fanbases. Fans are crawling out of the woodwork and it's only going to get worse if the Cubs keep winning.

I don't know that I have heard that one before. Yeah they travel well for playoffs and to places like Nashville. It's more of a shot against the nhl. Kris Bryant for example, a rookie of just a couple months, is more known nationally than Patrick Kane, the most popular player on a 3 time Stanley winning team. You just wouldn't get that idea in Chicago, but that could change soon. That was my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 6+ years, the entire city of Chicago revolves around the Blackhawks during the playoffs. You just assume everyone knows about the Hawks. Then you talk to people in other cities, they don't even know the hockey playoffs are happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe anyone would deny that. You don't have to hate the cubs or anything but don't deny reality either. The reality is there is room enough for two baseball teams in Chicago and each can be successful regardless of the success. Who made the Sox horrible this year? The White Sox. The Cubs have nothing to do with this. Any fans we lose we deserve. We're garbage. Edited October 6, 2015 by AustinIllini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if you're sarcastic or not, but if you have been to a road game in a city like Dallas, the Blackhawks fans (of which I consider myself one) are completely jerks.
