Equal media coverage, but I would bet the house those ratings aren't equal. And you see a lot of Sox gear, that's really cool, but I bet a lot of that is more for looks than anything. I've spoken to many people trying to strike up a conversation about the Sox, and i can't tell you how many times they tell me they just like the look of the hat.

IMO If anything it intensified it. 2006 was peak.

I've taken it upon myself to actually learn more about their history. I took a tour of Wrigley Field last weekend. It really is a gem, right in our city. Hating the Cubs never made sense to me. They represent the city of Chicago. And, whether us Sox fans want to admit it or not...unless the Sox are playing better (which doesnt happen these days), Chicago is a Cubs town.

Interleague play didn't kill the rivalry. Im not sure how that makes sense. The rivalry was intense back in the mid 2000s. The Buehrle/Konerko/Pierzynski/Thome vs Zambrano/Lee/Soriano/Ramirez era was so good. Ever since the Sox perpetually started sucking, there's not been any excitement. If both teams were good, it would generate a lot more excitement. Hell, if they were good and in the same division, can you imagine. Baseball in the city of Chicago would be the envy of baseball. It wont happen though. It's my dream before I die to see an all-Chicago world series.

I know the Cubs aren't necessarily world beaters at the moment, but I hope they absolutely destroy the Sox at Wrigley. Rub it in their faces. Get Jerry embarrassed if he isn't already.

Please, Jon, shut up.

I mean they were "good" in 2021. So I'd wager to say gotten worse the last 3 years. But yeah doesn't really matter they're still the worst lol. Honestly idk which I'd rather have, what the sox currently are, or be mired in mediocrity.

Yeah, the Barons would. They might be a .500 mlb team.

Do you think Jerry knows what run differential means? Or OPS? Probs not

If it's one I've learned as a Sox fan, the team has never hit rock bottom. There's always potential for worse. There isn't even a bottom for rocks to be at, it's just an endless abyss of suck.

JB Schuck? Yeah he was not good.

Pedro? Is it you?

19 hits lolol

It's all those pre-game Culver's cheese curds. They stick em in their pockets like sunflower seeds and just before they come to bat, pop a couple of those suckers in their mouths. Might as well be on PEDs.

I was told every time Benintendi throws a baseball, you can take a power nap and by the time you wake up the ball still will not have arrived to its intended target.

That is truly incredible.

Not in the last 12 years. Before 2012, maybe. But since then, he's just completely lost it.

Numbers and facts don't matter to this organization.

It doesn't matter if they pick 1 or 30, they'll get the same result because they suck at drafting, or developing, or both. Probably the latter.

At this point, I want them to keep losing. In my eyes it means the faster they accunulate losses, the faster necessary changes will happen. Whether or not we should trust the change-makers is another conversation.

He is never healthy and will never be healthy.

I thought that was Vaughn

I hate that the ineptitude of this franchise, being unable to win ballgames, made us trade away Cease. Such a likeable guy with Cy young talent, could have had his jersey retired here. Just a shame.

They were chanting it for a hot second.

Trust me, the Cuban and the shake is all I got lol.
