It's not the losing so much that gets me - I like to think I'm level-headed enough to realize that the team is banged up right now and just not playing well and aren't actually this bad - it's the dealing with the disgusting Sox fans.

They have nothing to say other then 3-3 in the season series. They held serve in their park, which you could see coming from a mile away with the way the rotation set up this weekend.

The White Sox had lost 9 of 10 to the Cubs and there was no way they were going to lose this series against a banged up Cubs team. They did what they had to do.

Watching Scott Linebrink pitch makes me so mad as a Brewer fan.

The past few years, the White Sox have pulled way too many players off the scrap heap and made stars out of them. Im not saying, Im just saying.

Like who?

I wouldn't say Linebrink was off the scrap heap either.
Gavin Floyd, Carlos Quentin

Carlos Quentin was not picked up off the scrap heap.

I still would rather have Chris Young.

Good thing they didn't trade Young for him :-"

I actually know, but we were talking about the Sox getting good players...they let a good one go.

Ok, my bad. I didn't mean that in a snotty way btw

You just don't get it, do you? Grow up and realize why people hate you. It's not hard to stop.

Talk about making your hits counts...the Sox have one 1 more hit, yet 4 more runs.We have our chances and strand 3 runners, ground into DPs and watch the heart of our order flail away. Meanwhile, the Sox take advantage of walks and made us pay....What a brutal weekend of baseball.

Joe_Cub · June 30, 2008

I wish we only played 3 games a year against the White Sox. Even before we began this disaster of a weekend, I was not really excited for this series at all. 6 times in a span of 10 days is just too much.

i'd like to see interleague rivalries be one 3-game series each season, alternating parks. it would help even out some of the disparities in interleague play.

Outshined_One · June 30, 2008

This team is not good to begin with on the road so far this year. Take out a few starters and it is worse. Also, this team looks very tired right now.

See, I don't know WHY they suck on the road. Playing at the Cell is easy on the players. They go to their homes and don't have to travel all over creation. If it were about them sucking on the west coast or whatever, fine, but this series doesn't seem to gel with the idea that the Cubs suck on the road simply because they're not the home team.

There's something else going on and I wish I knew what it was.

Chris Young is good? He's hitting .236.

No I would rather have Jim Edmonds on my team. Chris Young really sucks...you're right.

Why would you rather have Chris Young than Quentin? That guy is extremely overrated.

At least when Reed comes back, he can go to center and leadoff, and we can get the lineup back to normal.

I'm going to feel suicidally guilty if I find out he actually is impaired in some way, but holy crap does that idiot in the green behind the plate make me wanna hit something.

Fred Hornkohl · June 30, 2008

CUBS are 0-8 when they trail by 4 runs or more at the end of 8 innings.

Go CUBS !!

I just realized how funny it is that Cedeno doesn't get consistent playing time until he's turned to trash
