drowninginflame Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 IF we do this whole thing, will it change how you feel about the northside? After experincing the kind of year we've had I learned to not really care what they are doing or who goes to thier games. If we win, does it mean you stop bashing the cubs at every chance? For me, it does what can anyone say? I just go posi till someone opens thier mouth stupidly. All I care about is that the WHITE SOX KEEP WINNING, please do not let this year be a fluke, I'd like a team that is a consistant force in AL year after year.

Antonio Osuna Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I don't see how a good Sox postseason will make a Cubbie loss any less enjoyable. I mean, there are already things I enjoy more than the Cubs losing (lots of them) and the existance of any of them does not take away from it.

greasywheels121 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I honestly don't make a big deal of the Cubs. Some of their "fans" bug me, but other than that I don't really pay attention to what that team's doing. However, this is going to be very good for this team, if we...you know. I think it'd be big for the Sox as a franchise, to do it before they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighurt2719 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 as far as the sox being a force for years to come, that depends on what KW and JR do...realistically, you have to think we are going to lose at least one good player. not everyone is a company man, even though i would like them to be. i will always hate the cubs and i will always s*** on them every chance i get. i hope they never have a record over .500 for the rest of time. just cause we have one under our belt (knock on wood) doesnt mean we should hate the cubs any less. just my opinion.

If we win, does it mean you stop bashing the cubs at every chance? If we win, I'll probably wind up doing it a lot more. Virtually all of my friends are Cub fans. They could sweep us in every series for the next 100 years and I'd still have bragging rights. Edited October 24, 2005 by Balta1701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowninginflame Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think this is going to be massive for us and big for alot of baseball teams. you dont have to spend alot of $$$$$ like the yankees, to put out a winner. you've just gotta have a good farm system and a talented GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsox Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 IF we do this whole thing, will it change how you feel about the northside? I will feel NOTHING for them. Other than shake my head as to why they continue to support a team that clearly rips them off any chance they can get. After experincing the kind of year we've had I learned to not really care what they are doing or who goes to thier games. Good for you. I wish every other Sox fan would feel the same way. If we win, does it mean you stop bashing the cubs at every chance? I don't bash their team but their Attendance trophy crap they use would completely be baseless if the Sox can finish off the Astros since it'd be proof positive championships aren't made with attendance stats. For me, it does what can anyone say? I simply don't care about that team on the Northside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I won't hate them any less though I may pay less attention to them, not that I pay much attention now. Bottom line: They suck and they'll continue to suck. I hate them and I'll continue to hate them. If they continue to outdraw us in attendance, so f***in' what?

CanOfCorn Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I can't wait for the Cubs-Sox series next year IF the Sox win this year. I can hear the chant rising ever so softly now... 19-08! Clap, clap, clap clap clap! 19-08! Clap, clap, clap clap clap! 19-08! Clap, clap, clap clap clap! 19-08! Clap, clap, clap clap clap! 19-08! Clap, clap, clap clap clap! 19-08!

bmags Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 being that i live in a household with cub fans, i doubt i'd ever lose that joy of my brother being pissed off after a loss... haha, its a great feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringfieldFan Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) The hardcore Cub fans in my family have gone out of their way to congratulate me ever since they beat Boston and they are bleeding black and silver with every game now - for my sake alone if not for the Sox. Granted, I live downstate where the Sox are not so much dissed as ignored, but I have really been taken aback by the graciousness of the "true" cub fans I know down here. I never got into the trash talk but now I really don't even have the urge anymore. That may be different if I were living in Chicagoland, but not down here...

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Don't fall for their bulls***, every single Cub fan in their dark, bitter hearts is rooting against us.

Wanne Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I never cared....nor watched what they did...until this dude on the bear board wagered me $200 at the beginning of the year that the Cubs would win more games than the Sox this year.....I GLADLY took that bet!!!!

Not my team = Don't care The Tribune Hype can't match the team on the field. A communication giant owning and promoting its own dismal excuse for a team that is unlikely to even win its division for next 2 or three years and that is if they are willing to spend more for free agent players because their farm teams don't provide much talent. On the south side we survive on less money, being much maligned in the press by the major networks, but somehow managing to field the best team in Major league baseball.

Kid Gleason Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 If we win it all, then the Cubs officially become nothing more than any other team in the NL. My main reason for disliking them is the threat that they have posed to the Sox as far as what would happen if the Sox took the title first. But with a win, then eh, I don't care about them. I don't understand the extreme hatred towards them and their fans to begin with, so I really won't understand it once we have a WS under our belts. But no, I will not pay any attention to them anymore. When I go to a Cubs game in Milwaukee with my bosses, I will no longer root against them. I will just treat it 100% as my attending a baseball game of two teams I really don't care about, and that I am only their to watch a game.

Texsox Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'll be pulling for them to make the WS. Because the Rally Crede told me that the Cubs only win today, to make losing tomorrow, that much more painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
