8/14 Cubs (Hendricks) @ white sox (Samardzija) 3:10 PM CT WGN/CSN

None of us are likely to live to see it (unless it's the Indians, I guess), but with 30+ teams now in every pro league, there are going to be 100-year droughts without titles more often. I wonder if other fans will always be as shitty about it as they are towards the Cubs.

[JonJayCutler]

I've always thought it was kind of sick in the head to hope that a team who hasn't won a title in 100+ years keeps losing forever.

I don't blame them. They are dwarfed in popularity in their own city and nationally, constantly pitted in a yuppies vs. blue collar stereotype battle even though its not really true, their old historic ballpark was less revered and then torn down and replaced by a mediocre park.

 

But one thing they still have over us is that one lone championship. If they lose that they will have nothing.

Wind is blowing out.. MANY DONGS INCOMING

[KatJ]

I shook my head at the Cubs MLB front page: the Sox' opposing pitcher being an "old friend." That was a little while ago; Smardjweqitgeqw is going to be tough.

 

I hope I'm wrong. But as I am a Cubs fan, it wouldn't be the first time.

[kujay]

Thank you Extra Innings for having home and away feeds. Such a vast difference between our PBP teams.

[kente777]

i didnt say it was a worse than old comiskey. just that it is average when compared to other modern parks where the world still reveres wrigley as a crown jewel of MLB parks. The point was trying to paint the massive inferiority complex many Sox fans seem to have toward the Cubs.

It's a shame Stoney went to the South Side.

Devil's advocate: what about Fenway in terms of most revered? Gotta remember that East Coast bias.

On the contrary, I think Stoney & the white sox are a perfect fit.

[kujay]

Okay I admit I had no idea Geovany Soto was still playing or that he was on the Sox.

I was having a drink last week at my neighborhood haunt and bumped into a few SF Giants fans right after the 4 game sweep. They saw my Cubs hat and immediately starting talking [expletive] about 1908 rabble rabble. They do it because it is the laziest form of insult, an ESPN graphic regurgitated by drunks. It's the trash talking equivalent of junk food.

[Sammys Boombox]

Just wear these unis every road game. Add the name on the back.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Who's doing the radio broadcast for the white sox these days ?

[PrimeTime]

FOWLER YES!

[kujay]

Haha wtf was that.

[Andy]

These throwbacks are baller.

I like them better than either of our regular gray tops.

[OleMissCub]

Omfg those uniforms are SICK

[DiamondMind]

Garcia living up to that -1 dWAR

[Schwarber Fan]

Harrelson call, anyone?
