January 28, 200521 yr hey im new i like the cubs and sox and a huge baseball fan .. what u think about rowand making the allstar team this season
January 28, 200521 yr ROWNAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh that is hillarious. Anywho, welcome aboard! :fthecubs
January 28, 200521 yr I think everyone knows my opinion on Rowand. He is the best pure talent the Sox have had in a long time and it's only a matter of time before he's an allstar. Not only that he busts his ass and that can only help him gain the respect of his fellow players.

I think a lot of casual fans can and do like both. I liked both when I was a kid. It's not as hard to imagine if you are far enough outside of the city. I rooted for Fisk and Sandberg. As these casual fans come to the Cell, can we try not to make them feel like idiots for not knowing everything. I think the cubs are not quite as loveable anymore and more of these casual fans will make it to the Cell to see the new blood Sox. The more that happens, the more that will see the light. I don't like the cubs for reasons I'm sure that a lot of us share, so please don't hurl poo poo at me.
January 28, 200521 yr By the way, welcome chitownfan! I have a feeling that even if Rowand has all-star numbers, he will somehow get screwed out of it. I'd rather have about 4 of our pitchers make the team.

As a die hard Sox fan, it just pisses me off to see people rout for both teams. In the crosstown series, you must pick one... Most who rout for both teams usually go scrubbies... and of course once the sox go good, here comes the bandwagoners!!!

Even though theres some people who just want to see Chicago on the board u still have to pick one or the other when the time comes. It pissed me off to see people root for the scrubs during their postseason run when they were going to sox games with me during the reg. season... Here its all :fthecubs
January 28, 200521 yr Minny, Minny, Minny... You just got back, and ALREADY you are posting stupid s***. Man. :banghead
January 28, 200521 yr Back to the original topic... His numbers were very impressive last year, especially since he wasn't a full-time player the whole year (only 140 games, and he platooned early in the year). If he keeps this up I think there is a solid chance he makes it, although he has an uphill climb because of his lack of name recognition. Hopefully he will get some love from the players and managers.

January 28, 200521 yr There is no reason in the world why some can't root for both teams. If you choose not to, fine. But to lambaste an new poster because you are filled with misguided arrogance is moronic.

You have to spend your entire life in Chicago to understand why it is wrong to root for both teams. I do agree with you on the second part.
January 28, 200521 yr i would love to see rowand in the all star game, but it all comes down to his numbers and votes, he might have the numbers but unless he goes nuts i dont see him getting the votes. also you got to pick one or the other sox/cubs, its a crosstown rivalry. RIVALRY! and besides when has a person ever routen for both sides in a baseball game, sure you might be cheering for both on the outside but inside you you know you pulling for one team.

In 1969 I was 11 years old, so believe me, I've lived it. It is not "wrong" to root for both teams. Misguided, maybe. Unusual, yes. Nothing "wrong" about it.
