Ode to the White Sox Fan

Hello again everybody! (in a Harry Carray voice).. and welcome to my second edition of CubbieFever’08.  Today I want to discuss the good and bad sides of our cross-town rivals Chicago White Sox Fans.  First and foremost I want to talk about the thing that irk’s me the most…. anti-cubs clothing and gear.  I mean this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.  True Story- my best friend is a huge Sox fan and actually owns more anti-cubs clothing than Sox clothing, it’s pathetic.  I’m talking about everything from a T-shirt with a Cubs symbol on it and instead of saying Cubs it says Curse, to a shirt stating “Wrigley Field World’s Largest Gay Bar”, cmon now how childish is that?  No wonder your team can’t fill the seats, all the Sox fans are too worried about how the Cubs are doing and if they lost or not to crap on the Cubs fans then to go to the game and cheer their team to a victory.  Well I take that back they will have a sell out this weekend because the Cubs are coming there….lol.  I just don’t understand I mean a little humor or poking fun is good competition but there is a line that crosses into unsportman-like towards others.  But you can’t blame the followers when their leaders aare pushing it along.  The two biggest Cubs-haters are Kenny “won’t sign anyone for more than 4 yrs” Williams and Ozzie “the Mouth” Guillen themselves.  Who disses a Jim Edmonds hitting .230 this season when just about everyone on their own team is in the range or worse!!!  Jim Thome is batting under .200 and the savior Nick Swisher is batting the same .230 as Jimmy Baseball anyways, so who is he to talk, we got him for practically nothing how much are you paying Thome and Swisher, check your own backyard before judging your neighbors!!!  Also, those unfriendly comments about our friendly confines are totally uncalled for.  It’s called history Ozzie and just because you don’t respect it doesn’t give you the right to rip it.  Go back to Valenzuela or where ever your from and check out the rats there, don’t tell me you haven’t seen them.  AAAARRRRGGGGGHHH, okay that felt good to get that off my chest, but in the beginning I did say I would talk about the good and the bad things about the sox fans so here are some good points that I do admire about their fans…. LOYALTY, and I mean LOYALTY, you cannot shake one of these fans pride of their team if you tried every play in the book, Look at all the crap they’ve been through in recent failed seasons, and fallouts and you know what, even though they don’t talk alot about their team, they are sure quick to tell you what they think about yours and how their team is better.  Another good plus is their faith in their players and coaches, I mean no matter how many players Kenny Williams and Ozzie chase away, or how many times Thome and Konerko strikeout with runners in scoring postion, you never here them boo! or rag on their players, because they know and you can really tell that they are giving 110% and that’s all that the Sox fan asks for.  Well I hope you enjoyed edition #2, and will subscribe and come back and read edition #3 COMING SOON to a computer near you.  I will be at the game on Sat., just look for the Cubs fan with the sweet gray Soto jersey in right field.  Till next time this Fro and GO CUBS GO!
