But....they really are turds. Yeah that's just wrong. Everyone hates the BFiB. Oh yeah, I'm not knocking anyone for not liking another fanbase; there's tons of legit reasons to not like Cubs fans, and even more reasons to not like Cardinals fans. WSI just has a cluster of posters that take it a weird level where they need to talk about how the Cubs and/or Cubs fans have wronged them somehow. Like it was mentioned, when you're obsessed with the idea that newspapers or radio stations are covering one team more and taking it personally, that's just odd.

I had only really checked that site out for specific game threads, and looking over it more recently that place is really, really weird. Like, disconcertingly so. There's a wide swath of posters there that just have these bizarre opinions about the Cubs and Cubs fans that flat-out sound like some kind of paranoia. It's very odd. yep i think you have to have a log in to look at game threads, and the one i had got banned years ago for just posting "he gone" when crede struck out in a big spot against the cubs in like 08 or 07. last time i tried signing up i couldn't get approved. I mean, I totally get "I don't like team X, therefore their fanbase are a bunch of turds;" plenty of us do that here, ESPECIALLY with the Cardinals. But I can't even really explain well why WSI seems so unsettling. It's a combination of "we don't horsefeathering care about those guys, and let's keep reminding ourselves of that" and these continual bizarre attempts to over-explain the psychology or groupthink of Cubs fans to a really creepy level. I can't imagine being that hung up on another FANBASE. Not a team...their fans. I lived in Chicago for close to a decade, knew plenty of White Sox fans (hell, basically the entire side of my mom's family are Sox fans), encountered plenty of Sox fans, and yet not once had a single experience along the lines of what poster after poster brings up there. They seem to just be trying to trump each other with stories of how cruel, rampaging Cubs fans have abused them, which is just a depressingly masochistic type of fandom I don't want to know. Sad sack, lovable loser-type Cubs fans are bad enough, but this is something else.

Yuuuuup. I feel like someone is just horsefeathering with us now.

Can we somehow mash his hitting with all of the other stuff that Baez does awesomely? Because that's what I was promised.

I hope he has been thoroughly mocked and shamed for that nah http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=3257805#post3257805 to be fair, most in that thread were ridiculing hawk for the comment, though I had only really checked that site out for specific game threads, and looking over it more recently that place is really, really weird. Like, disconcertingly so. There's a wide swath of posters there that just have these bizarre opinions about the Cubs and Cubs fans that flat-out sound like some kind of paranoia. It's very odd.

I thought we were all horsefeathers pitchers these days.

Whoa, Truffle lives in Australia?

I figure they're just building up the reserve and then they're going to unleash a dong-flood in the postseason like they did last year. It really speaks to how well-rounded this team is, though. When you are good at every facet of the game, you can win in whatever fashion you please. I've read a lot of stupid [expletive] in the last year or so, about, "Oh, well the playoffs are different. The pitching is better. And we can't just rely on hitting home runs. What are they going to do if the bats aren't going?" Well, this team is showing that, no, they don't even need the dong to win. Oh yeah, a win is a win, and I love that this team isn't just a bunch of donging freaks like the Cardinals who suck at everything else. I just yearn for dongs.

It's a crime Scott Bullett wasn't amazing with a name like that.

Braun's just that kind of anus.

Hey, he still isn't sucking.

Come on. It's #10. Everyone knows that's Santo. MAYBE a little Durham on the side, but that's set.

But seriously, how about mixing in some dongs already.

Massacre-mode engaged.

Hahahahahah! Well, now this is just fun.

Heyward's got a stew goin', baby.

Hell yeah, Addison.

I had no idea anyone gave a horsefeathers about Chris Coghlan.

Bueno.

Thanks for being the Brewers, Brewers.

That'll do.

Heck yeah.

Alright, time for some fine dongin'.

Holy TOOTBLAN.
