Why wouldn't I? Cubs fans in Iowa or anywhere else that's not the Chicagoland area have no idea how annoying White Sox fans have become since 2005. They're probably like "cool, another team from a city I've been to twice but think its mine won, awesome". When, in reality, its been hellish to attend any Cubs-Sox game or get into any argument with most Sox fans because it usually ends in them saying "Oh well, I'll just go home and watch my 2005 World Series DVDs". Its the ultimate trump card and if they win a 2nd title, it will be that much worse. But, yeah, you're right, the Sox winning would affect a cubs fan in Memphis the same as a Cubs fan in Chicago. As someone who moved from Chicago to Iowa, this is absolutely correct analysis.
