FlaCWS Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I am a huge NY Jets and Knicks fan, however I never much cared for my "local" baseball teams. In fact I hate them both. I've always followed baseball and love the game but never really had a true "favorite" team. I now want to change that. Over the past 6 months or so I've been traveling to Chicago a lot on business. I love the city and, since I'll be going there a lot more in the foreseeable future, I'd like to start following one of the teams. I immediately ruled out the Cubs because they are too much of a "trendy" team that people seem to root for because it's the cool thing to do (sort of like the Yankees or the Lakers). Plus I prefer the AL because I hate watching pitchers bunt or strike out. I started researching the Sox a few weeks back and found this site as a result. I am now registered and look forward to talking baseball with you guys. So the question is, will you accept a NY football and basketball fan onto the White Sox bandwagon?

FlaCWS Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 i'm a big jets fan too. from long island, moved to chicago at young age, adpoted bulls, sox, and hawks, but kept the jets. That is awesome, although I question your sanity for keeping the Jets if there was a choice involved. :-) I've been suffering with them for a long time. Yesterday was very painful.

FlaCWS Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 Of course we'll just have to transform you into a Bulls fan Not gonna happen... but good try. :-) I respect Jordan as the greatest who ever played the game, but man did he kill the Knicks. Not missing him at all. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Ha it's kind of weird to think the White Sox would do anything to demand a bandwagon, but it's cool that we're getting a lot of new people this offseason.

CSF Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I like the Jets. I think Herm Edwards is one of the most underrated coaches in the NFL. BTW, isn't BeGood also a Knicks fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raff Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 yes sir, you have already shown that you are bright :fthecubs , and i respect the jets, pennington is my favorite QB, although i am a huge steelers fan (go Big Ben). no one likes the knicks, but we can deal. welcome aboard.

LosMediasBlancas Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 It's nice to know some people still think for themselves and don't let the media tell them what's 'cool'. Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I think we inherited the old Red Sox bandwagon by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 BTW, isn't BeGood also a Knicks fan? Yes he is, and I believe he is also a Jets fan. Alot of people on this site have their own teams. Posters have their favorite teams on bastketball, football, etc. But we all have one, and the most important thing in common. We are all Whitesox fans. Welcome aboard.

Yesterday was very painful. i'm not allowed to hold anything in my hands anymore during jet games. not after the remote, beer bottle, and buffalo wing incidents.
