| Post subject: | Help me rank the sworn enemies of White Sox Nation |
With the PECOTAs coming out and predicting the Sox at 74 wins and 5th place, I was reminded of how much Sox fans hate Baseball Prospectus and its craaazy predictions and algo-thingies. 2005 NEVER FORGET and all that. It's unique among fanbases. So where do spreadsheets and data rank among the foes of the Sox? As an outside observer, I need clarification. Rank: The Chicago Cubs People who like the Chicago Cubs Microsoft Excel Jay Mariotti Meth lab busts John McDonough Critics of Jerry Reinsdorf The Chicago Tribune (CUBune) Did I leave any big ones off? Thanks for the help |

I don't think "critics of Jerry Reinsdorf" belongs on that list. Most White Sox fans hate Reinsdorf. He is Jewish after all. |

i am a sworn enemy of any fan that considers his teams fan base a "nation". talk about played out ESPN babble. Red Sox Nation. White Sox Nation, Cubs Nation, Cardinals Nation, fans of all of these "nations" need to get over themselves. That, along with "first letter first name, first syllable last name" nicknames are 2 cliches that need to die already. |

I'd put "People Who Like the Chicago Cubs" well above the actual team, the Chicago Cubs. I enjoy watching Cubs games, and I enjoy Len + Bob on the call. What I've rarely enjoyed in my relatively short time on this earth are roughly 90% of the Cubs fans I've encountered. I don't consciously use it as a prejudicial crutch, but it's kind of like whether or not someone's down with David Lynch or Fleetwood Mac, there exists a great divide between you and I depending on your answer. |
