I've always liked both teams even growing up in Chitown. Yeah, it's a nono...but, what can I say?

Mebbe that's why I fled Chicago, huh?

hahaha... I just thought it was so funny when for years and years Cubs/Sox fans despised each other and suddenly in 05 the Sox are in the WS and all the Cubs fans start using the phrase "I'm a Chicago fan"

PS the Sox fans will ALWAYS hate the Cubs... World Series or not.

^ Meh, I'm not a fair-weathered fan. For fawk's sakes, I'm a Chitown sports fan...there's no way you CAN be fair-weathered most of the time.

Let's see...the year in review so far: Bulls stank. Bears stank. Blackhawks provide hope but miss playoffs yet again...

floyd should become the white sox ace. all we're missing is 2 more good pitchers because contreras isn't pitching well anymore and danks is inconsistent.

The Twins got a hit? I just assumed after 8 innings it was going to be a no-no.

With a loss that bad, I'm assuming the Twins fell out of

last night?

I don't need you starting on me with the Reds playing like they are. You might end up maimed and crippled! :angryfire

Harangutan gives them quality starts and they never give him a chance :shakehead

I called it back in the Spring Training thread. Twins vs. Cubs in '08. And right now you really can't argue with it because both teams are in first pl.....I mean the Twins are in first place.

If the Twins are into next week, the White Sux are still into last month. But at least they climbed out of third yesterday. For now. We know what happens when they head out west.
