I have them at +250 to win the division from early August. Twins were +400 Sunday night and Cleveland was over +1000.

Probably should have pulled the trigger on Cleveland Sunday. They finish with the Pirates. But I figured the Sox would win at least one. Hopefully they can get to Shane tomorrow or Plesac Thursday. Twins finish with the Reds who are playing well.

They'll probably be fine because the Cubs won't have jack to play for this weekend, they'll be setting their rotation.

Sox real issue may be setting their post season pitching rotation.

Cubs should be bumping Hendricks back to Saturday to put him on normal rest for game two next Thursday. Unless they want him with 8 days off between starts. Darvish will be going Friday which sets him up for Wednesday. Lester in that scenario would go Sunday.

Even if that happens, Hendricks and Darvish will be on really low pitch counts. Like 3rd inning, tops.

Plenty of time for the Sox to feast on all of the Cubs minor league bullpen arms that are currently hanging out in South Bend.

Bauer is pitching Wednesday so I would assume he won't go on 3 days rest Sunday unless Reds need to win.

With Hendricks going tomorrow he'll go as long as he usually does. I can see Darvish being limited to 5 or 6 innings Friday.

So you agree that Cubs fans not caring about the Sox is bullshit. That makes you just a wee bit smarter than the your fellow brethren.

So you had money on them over the past five years as well? You have started a ton of Sox threads over the years. When it comes to Cubs Sox, you are just like bigfan without racism and bad punctuation.

The Sox get to play the Cubs this weekend. How do you think that will go? Do you think the Cubs looked like the better team last time?

I think the Cubs will clinch the division this weekend if not before. You think your White Sox are better then last time?

Renteria should have given Robert a little re-focusing break a week ago like I suggested.

Dude is in his own head pretty badly right now.

More Sox fans care about the Cubs than vice versa

I'm sorry, its just reality.

It has been reported that there are two Cubs fans in the area for every one White Sox fan. So let’s say there are two million Cubs and one million White Sox fans in Chicagoland for sake of argument.

If 25% of Cubs fans care are worried about the White Sox, then you have 500,000 of those folks. If 40% of White Sox fans care about the Cubs, then you have 400,000 of those folks. Simple math suggests there are more Cubs fans that care about the White Sox than vice versa. But in percentage terms, well, I’ll let Frank and RPB figure that out.

Its like 80% of Sox fans. It's part of Sox fandom, which s fine. Fun even.

I love talking White Sox baseball. But I try not to be antagonistic about it. It’s fun seeing that Chris Sale like pitcher on the mound or projecting out Robert.

The White Sox are a significantly better team than the Cubs now, and they also have a much brighter future. That's a fact. So gloating about the Sox struggles the past five days is stupid from the perspective of a Cubs fan.
