Duke Of Chicago Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Correct me if im wrong but,Your biggest rivalry is Cubs Vs. Sox, from what i hear it's just as intense as RedSox Yanks and those games are pretty nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Biggest rivalary is probably Cubs, at least for the fans. Gets pretty heated at those series. Biggest for the outcome of the season and such is the Twins. If you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sweat, Duke, you'll find a lot of people here don't know much about the White Sox..... btw, green is the color of sarcasm/joking around.

MinnesotaSoxFan Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Ok... You might need to take our Sox class. First lesson: Hate the Cubs! They have more fans and the have the biggest urinal known as Wrigley Field. Dispise the place. You start to hate the Cubs!!! Second lesson: Hate the Twins! They are the biggest rival in the Central division. You become jealous of how they can pull the lead every year. POP Quiz: Question: Who does the WHITE Sox hate more?

I just don't think there are any lessons he needs to learn to be a sox fan, being a sox fan is about rooting for them not about rooting against the cubs and trust me I hate the cubs as much as anyone here.

WilliamTell Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 For me it just depends who's good in our division. I used to hate the Indians with a passion, I still don't like them but now I hate the Twins. I'll always hate the Cubs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 We play 47% of our games against division opponents, and 3.7% of our games against the Cubs. Our major rival is the best team in our division at the time. Right now, that happens to be the Twins. When we play against the Cubs, there is an added incentive to win because Sox fans hate Cubs Culture. But the games aren't necessarily meaningful in the big picture, as the mathematics displayed up top would suggest. The games are fun, but don't believe any of that "biggest rival" crap. That's the best advice that I could give you, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 The AL Central for sure. Two years ago we had some bitter stuff with the Royals. A few years back there was a brawl with the Tigers and good ole Weaver. The Indians will always be disliked because how I grew up with them. Then, don't even get me started on the Twins, that is all cause of the division crown though. The Cubs are just bragging rights and six games on the schedule. My friends talk s*** when the Cubs win, and I let them know when the White Sox win. That is really all that does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't have brought A-Rod or Posada with you? Another thing you need to remember: When it comes to baseball I have two favorite clubs, The Chicago White Sox, and whoever is playing the Cubs.

chisox05 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Gets pretty heated at those series. LOL, after the game is crazy, i stick around just to c the fights. Its immature of them to fight but its hillarious how intense they get, especially after a cubs loss. When the sox won the first series last season, I saw this cub fan with his girlfriend and these 3 sox fans(one fat guy) started making fun of him cuz he was wearing a cub hat, the cub fan wanted to fight and the sox fans pounded him-good stuff. felt bad for the girlfriend though.

Personally, I feel the 2 cubs series are a "security" blanket, if and when we beat them in the overall series I feel a lot more secure about the season. Obviously, the playoffs are far and away our #1 goal, but beating the cubs makes the season worth something. Also, beating the cubs in the overall series restricts my cub friends from bragging about the cubs success if they have sucess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means when the board is upgraded, there will be an ignore feature, and he will probably be the first one put on the ignore list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaseballNick Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hate whichever team is the biggest threat of winning the division. Our goal, obviously is to win the division, and the team that is best suited to win it (other than the Sox) is typically, the most hated. Used to be the Indians in their heyday, now definitely the Twins. BTW, the Indians and Tigers have talented teams and may be ready to challenge for the division again very soon. The only time I personally care what the Cubs are doing is when they are playing us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaCWS Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Most definatley. If not a season ticket holder you gotta get 'em the day they go on sale. Wait, someone earlier said the stadium is 1/2 - 3/4 full for most of the games, but you are saying tickets are hard to get. Please clarify.
