Oh NOOOO!!! The Sox have dropped down into 2nd place. The pitching staff has an ERA over 6 over the last 19 games. The bullpen has been bad, the better starters are even performing poorly of late. All the while, the Cubs sweep the Brewers and then take another series against the Buc's. They now lead the division by 5 games. It's just got to be frustrating to be a 2nd place Sox fan.

Oh, and i KNOW this is the wrong section on the board. I just don't care. The Sux dropping into 2nd place WILL BE a topic for discussion today, no doubt, as will the Cubs and their latest winning series.

Cubs fans disavow all knowledge of Elmhurst Steve. He does not represent the Cubs, nor their fans.
Please do not allow the words of one deranged freak to influence your opinion of all Cubs fans.
That is all.

Not to defend ES, because his post was stupid, but wasn't Mac's post equally stupid?

trying to "out-stupid" a stupid post is a dangerous game, because if the stupid response fails, as this one did, the stupid response sounds stupider then the original stupid post, and we are all stupider for it.

Okay, Steve.... I'll play along.

The meatball bacteria have made their way to Elmhurst. I'm stunned.

Congrats on the series win over the Pirates, Steve. It was frustrating, as a Sox fan, watching my team lose to one of the worst teams in baseball while the Cubs just blitzed one of the best.

The Sox, now a half-game back, on Aug. 4, are reduced to preparing for the off-season now. Meanwhile, the Cubs, on Aug. 4, are a mere five outs away from their first WS appearance since '45. Nothing can preclude a team from hoisting the pennant with five outs to go, could it?

Zambrano will self-destruct in the end. And he won't win 20. Soriano's defense will cost the Cubs at least one meaningful game. My crystal ball also sees Derrek Lee grounding into rally-killing double plays in crunch time.

The goat will walk again this fall.

But... don't let any of us Sox fans get in the way of the celebration of a title won with more 50 games to go.

but that could all change by tomorrow night.

Exactly, let's not forget that it was not too long ago the Cubs dropped into a tie with the Brewers and everyone was panicing. Things change fast in baseball.

First of they both have the same number of losses........Thats how you judge the standings my friends .....its a TIE.

this is a team that could win it all, anyone who says otherwise is a meatball fan or just a hater.

If they keep playing the way they are, it would be smart of them to do so. Their pitching is awful, the traded a long guy for a washed up OF'er and then Ozzie is whining he needs another arm, sounds like to me that the GM and Manager are not on the same page.

White Sox are playing like a old and tired team, they could still sneak in, I just dont think so. I wont go steves route, but I wouldnt go Macs either, talk baseball, not the same old and stupid insults cub and sox fans have been trading for years.



Swami-mac, can you at least give us some winning lottery numbers, instead of hoping the worse for the Cubs ? Any true Cub fan knows that could happen, this one, is hoping not. I will wait to judge this team once the season is over.

Cubs havent won crap yet this year, but I like the team and the way they are playing and the talent they have, this is a team that could win it all, anyone who says otherwise is a meatball fan or just a hater.

So let me get this straight. You can judge the Sox but anyone who judges the cubs is a meatball or a hater?
