Except there isn't a goddamn thing for a Sox fan to be jealous of.

1. A huge local fan base.

2. A huge national fan base.

3. Wrigley Field

4. Wrigleyville

5. Pretty girls in the stands.

6. The best minor league system in MLB.

7. Real MLB PBP announcers

8. A real management team.

9 A great MLB roster loaded with talent.

10. The #2 tourist attraction in the state.

Other than that, yea...no reason for Sox fans to have Cubs envy.

1. Why would a Sox fan care how many goofs root for the Lovable Losers?

2. See 1.

3. The park you wanted them to abandon for Scaumburg? Who you crappin'?

4. See 3.

5. There are pretty girls everywhere. Even in Schaumburg.

6. Uh, no.

7. Len Kasper? :lol:

8. Gorilla suits, penguins, magic shows, and a busted "Core Four".

9. A second Wild Card team. Maybe.

10. I'm not jealous of Navy Pier either.

Just give it up. It's Cub fans who are jealous. 2005. Wait 'til next year.

Like one has something to do with the other.

The Bears weren't even invented when the Cubs last won a championship.

I love Wrigley Field, but I wont go through the hassle of going to a game. Anyone with a brain recognizes that the park is a big draw and is loved by fans. I dont think that would have changed had they moved.

I wonder how many baseball fans love Comiskyville?

A staunch McCaskey defender shouldn't jump up to call out any other Chicago fanbase. You don't really have a leg to stand on.

Yeah, Len Kasper is approaching Zaidman levels of loyalty to his team. Other Cubs fans have called him out on this board for that as well.

Kasper is a very good play by play announcer. PBP guys dont give much of their opinion, they call the game.

He was a very good PBP man. He has become a blind, loyal Cubs apologist. I am not surprised you have not been able to recognize this.

Frank, I think you are referring to Kaspers weekly appearance on B&B. That isnt play by play. He's a very good PBP Man.

There's as much chance the Sox make the playoffs this year as the Cub do- ZERO. I'm not suggesting the Sox are a contender. But you're here all positive about the Cubs, so let's bet that.

So now it's no longer ZERO... are your clear eyes failing you or are you just indecisive?

Now a great baseball mind like JORR could not possibly have posted that. :lol:

Actually understand many Sox fans being kn0cked out by theCub PR machine. They have gone into hiding AKA Soccer!

Been saying this was coming for years....and yes, it will get worse because the same President of the team will be there and he only cares about winning a world series his way just to show everyone it wasnt catching lightning in a bottle by the manager.

If that's the case, shouldn't you be thankful?
