Panerista Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) I know some knowledgeable fans who aren't dicks and it'd be nice to see them win it for them. But my god, the amount of bandwagon Cubs fans and their total douchebaggery outweighs my desire to see my Cubs friends happy. It's the same with Blackhawks fans, honestly. I'm wearing my Toews sweater right now, but I totally appreciate that our fanbase is bloated and mostly hockey garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Arrieta's control has been horrendous tonight. I swear watching him escape inning after inning is like watching some White Sox game. Pittsburgh are the White Sox tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panerista Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) I am a diehard Sox fan, I have no sympathy for Cub fans.

I know there are fans out there that played a little hockey and loved the Hawks forever growing up but then there's the rest of the fanbase.

A game. I want the White Sox to win. The Cubs can win and I'll be happy for their fans. Make no mistake, this White Sox team is agonizing and the fact that Ventura is still on the bench next season makes me miserable.
