Could very well be an all LA series as well.
I wanted to see a Cubs-Red Sox series before 2004. Now it wouldn’t have quite the same impact.
LA fans don’t get as worked up about their baseball as Chicago fans, though. The rivalry between Cubs and Sox, north side and south side, is INTENSE, and the fans are PASSIONATE!
I mentioned this on the Yankee Stadium thread.
I’m assuming MSM is totally in the tank for a Chicago series for multiple exposures of “homeboy” Baraq as a baseball lovin’ “real” guy.
GO CUBS!
Since I am not a native Chicagoan I do not have to hate the other team though a White Sox fan. My boys who are hate the Cubs though we live in on the North side and even on Waveland Ave. Nothing would make them and my friends happier than to see the Sox beat the Cubs. The day after the Bears lost to Carolina and Zembrano pitched his no-hitter my best friend said “this is a Black day in Chicago Sports.”
I am considered “soft on the Cubs” because I actually want them to make the World Series. However, given the utter inconsistency of the Sox bullpen I don’t have much hope they could go far in the playoffs or win the Series. BUT if they hit a streak of excellence well...?
So far I would say the Cubs are the best team in baseball.
Obama is a Sox fan. I am a Cubs fan. That’s all the more reason I want to see a Cubs-Sox Series: so Obama can suffer TWO defeats in back-to-back weeks!
Didn’t a fan (Sox, I believe) lose an eye during a fight during one of the inter-league games?
The Phillies have no natural rivals in the AL, since we hardly ever make the World Series, but I submit that a Mets-Phillies LCS would set new lows in fan behavior. It would make Eagles games look like Disney World.
GO CUBS!
That is laughable. The East Coast media is NEVER “in the tank” for a Chicago team it is all RedSox/Yankee all the time. And this would pose great danger to the Zero who, to my shame, claims to be a Sox fan. He would have to alienate the Cubs fans or straddle the fence and alienate EVERYONE.
Not since you lost the Athletics.
Obama is not really a Chicagoan. He should be cheering for the Jakarta Giants.
I wouldn't talk, if I were you:
Anything can happen in October—and often does.
weren’t we just talking about this? i think it’s going to be the cubs-sox. just not sure if the sox will be of the red or white variety.
Now we have a new conspiracy theory.
Baraq will dump Biden for Hillary to pump up the baseball vote.
