Did you tell him that one win away is no sure thing?

 

Irony and divine justice are a couple of terms that go in the general direction (though nowhere near strongly enough) of what it would be if the Sox were to blow a 3-1 LCS lead and not make the series, but I somehow expect this won't happen.

 

That said, as far as the whole concept of separating the team from the fans, I find this impossible with the WSox. If it weren't for the fans, I'd be cheering the Sox on. However, this bastard step-child complex their fans (not to mention their manager, organization, and even commentators) have toward the Cubs, even at this moment of being on the brink of a WS appearance, drives me up a wall.

 

When the Cubs were up 3-1 with Z, Prior, and Wood as the due starters, people weren't sitting around itching to rub it in the Sox's face. We were sitting around wondering how many of our children we would sell on the black market if it would ensure the Cubs finish the job and win it all.

 

I understand I'm not labelling ALL sox fans, but this is most certainly accurate regarding a majority of them. If they win it all, I'll be that much more glad that I'm displaced, so I don't have to share a city with them. I hope they lose. I would cheer on the Yankees, Cardinals, and Astros all over the White Sox. And it's because of their fans.

Thank you! I was wondering if I was the only one who could have given two sh*ts about the Sox in 2003. I was concerned with what might happen in the Series or how it would feel if the Cubs actually did pull it off.

We're one Astros win from the worst scenario I could possibly imagine.

 

If it is indeed a Houston-Chicago WS, I'll have to root for Houston, and that will hurt me deeply. But better that than listening to Hawk and Sox fans gloat all next year, and so on until the Cubs win one.

 

God this sucks. Go Cards. :x

I don't remember how long the thread was, but I believe it ran up past ten pages of things people were willing to do if it meant ensuring the Cubs win the WS. If you go over to WSI (I haven't, because just thinking about it makes me want to pack an arsenal and climb a bell tower), I can guarantee you that there are four threads about the Cubs on the front page.

you would do the EXACT same thing to them if the Cubs had won it all in 2003. Let's not pretend we wouldn't.

White Sox fans are so rare, it wouldn't be worth the effort to hunt one down.
