He's also quite entertaining here in Chicago. He will tell fans to F off if he feels like it. Quite funny.

His kids are obnoxious loud mouths, they get that from Ozzie. We have a bad reputation on the South Side but I really don't care, nor does any other White Sox fan. We played second fiddle to the Cubs until 2005 when we actually won a title, now people aren't going to Wrigley!!! :D

Bad news for me, I have yet to go to a Sox game above 60 degrees and I have Season Tickets!!!

I was there Saturday when Lilibridge leaped at the fence and pulled back a sure homer that would have given the A’s the win - a whale of a game. And yeah, it was a tad cold then too.

Love Ozzie - and he’s got a South Sider’s vocabulary, even though one can seldom understand exactly what he’s saying!

Don't live in Chicago, but saw a lot of White Sox games in my life. Used to go to McCuddy’s before going to the old Comiskey. Will always be a White Sox fan first and foremost. Saw a lot of exciting games as a kid back in the Bill Veck era, when they had huge offensive firepower but would lose games 14 to 12.

I know exactly what you mean about the South Side. To me, the spirit that is Chicago burns bright in the neighborhoods, not in the Gold Coast. Wrigley for awhile became a fashionable place to go, even if you didn't care squat about baseball. It was a better place when Ernie said “Let's play two”. It got tiresome to hear some North Siders look down their nose at White Sox fans and the South Side.
