What the hell does this have to do with anything? If you're a Bear fan, it has everything to do with.......everything. These are the same fans you will be hugging at Soldier field after the Bears score a winning touchdown (if they ever do.........that's another story). It's a very, very good reason to root for Chicago and therefore the White Sox. We're all Chicago fans, and that's the bottom line. Certainly most Cub & Sox fans have Chicago in their hearts, and that's more than enough reason to root for the White Sox over the hated, despicable, Cardinals. If you aren't a Bear fan, then perhaps it doesn't mean anything to you. Many Cub fans are though, including myself. Please...those same Bears fans were talking trash after Games 6 and 7 in 2003 to me and other Cubs fans. .....and high-fived Cub fans in 2001 when Mike Brown took 2 INTs back for game-winning TDs in overtime. Many Cub & Sox fans partied together the night the Bears clinched the division title that year, beating the Packers at *something* for the first time in forever. Where were the Cards fans? Oh yeah, now I remember: rooting for us to lose for their Rams home-field advantage. Had we won another game we wouldn't have faced the upstart Beagles and surely would have advanced... Cards fans may as well be Martians to me. Sox fans at least share the same city interests sports-wise after the baseball season ends. I didn't like being trash-talked after games 6 & 7 either. But guess what? It was coming from Cards fans every bit as much as Sox fans. So in the final analysis, my alliegance in a Cards/Sox World Series would go squarely to the South Side, despite the North/South side rivalry. I can't even understand someone who would root for the Cards. Maybe a person who has been treated worse by White Sox fans? You'll root against the Cards, that's fine. Others will too. And even others won't. They have their reasons.
