As a native North Sider and Cubs fan--but one who will also cheer for the White Sox, because they're Chicago--I thought this was an interesting article.

White Sox 'nation' small enough to fit in a neighborhoodOr a cell block.

This could use a Chicago ping.

I can't root for a team that has a Chavez-loving Commie for a manager.

I remember the days when one would routinely have their car broken into when putting their car in the Blue Ribbon parking lot on the South Side. Now in Wrigleyville, you could to park in someones small front yard and not have a thing touched.
Thats the difference. Over the years, the south side has become a really bad of town, even though new Comiskey is really a nice park. The north side is much safer for people to go, especially people from the suburbs who don't feel like getting their stereo/cd player stolen, or being harrassed by bums, or worse, criminals on the street.

I was raised south of the line but by people raised north of the line, I'm mostly a Cubs fan because their park is nicer. But I'll be happy if the White Sox win.

I think the 'Pale Hose' are playing
grrrreat baseball. It was a pleasure watching them execute the simple things to win against the big, bad Red Sox in Fenway Park.
I remember the old Comiskey Park where they had that funky pavilion w/picnic tables out in left. So blue-collar... but yet it spoke so well of era gone by.
I won't mind if they go all the way... and I'm a Yankee fan.

I thought this was an interesting article. I thought it was a nasty piece of trash, probably written by some idiot Cub fan.

Look at the bright side, if the Angels beat the Yanks, the "Angel Nation" is even smaller than the Sox. Damn, do Sox fans have a chip on their shoulder, or what?
