You know, I was born and raised on the North Side of the city of Chicago, and naturally I grew up as a Cubs fan. I had a hard time accepting Harray Caray when he became the announcer of the Cubs, because to me he was the announcer of the hated Cardinals and then the hated White Sox.
Well, I'm still a Cubs fan, but I no longer hate the Cardinals or the White Sox. I married a St. Louis gal and have been living down here for quite some time. And the White Sox are still Chicago (albeit the South Side), so I'll cheer for them in the AL.
I want to see a Cardinals-White Sox World Series this year! It could very well happen!
BTW, have you noticed that even though the White Sox had the best record in the American League, and even though they swept Boston in this series, the vast majority of the posts in this thread have been about the Red Sox? The White Sox are still virtual unknowns, the Rodney Dangerfields of baseball, who get no respect.
Good chance of that happening. LaRussa is a great mgr hated to see him leave Sox. Well, I'm still a Cubs fan, but I no longer hate the Cardinals or the White Sox.
I'm a south-sider and you know what we say, our two most favorite teams in baseball are the go-go white sox and whoever plays the cubs... there is more than enough room on the bandwagon glad your aboard. Last year Boston, this year White Sox, hopefully next year is the Cubbies year.
Well most White Sox fans don't want their respect. We were picked by most to finish 4th in our division. We are still picked as the worst odds to win the World Series behind San Diego. We are still picked as the underdogs behind everyone.
I enjoy being the underdog. The Boston Red Sox found that out this weekend.
