I agree with you, Bob.
I'll still be excited for Spring Training and Opening Day though
You are right cookie. The Hawks belong in the conversation with the Fire and Wolves-- teams nobody cares about.

I don't think I'll care if the White Sox never win the World Series again. I saw it once, and it would only be a bonus after that. The same goes for the Bulls. I do hope that the Cubs and Bears do it in my lifetime as it would be cool to see the four major Chicago sports teams all do it. I was 3 when the Bears became Titletown, USA for a year. Don't take this as I am willing to accept mediocrity from either but it just doesn't feel the same. I think I'll always be spoiled by the Bulls title runs in the 90's. |

I assume you were also around for the Hawks. Hockey fan or not, it was very fun to experience. |

The way the White Sox are run as an organization reminds me of food poisoning. If they aren't puking, they have the runs. |

Opening Day can wait for Kenny's Hot Stove Moves. This could get interesting. When Kenny acquires young pitching and younger players...it tends to work....so why he goes Sybil and screams about Championships and then trades for and signs Veteran STIFFS, I can't figure out. |

I had always pictured you as about the same age as me, Rick. Smartass yutes!  Even as a White Sox fan, I'd still like to see the Cubs win it once, just to shut up all the jinx and curses and all that garbage. And it would be a pretty damn big deal, an event of epic proportions. |

Who knows what they are Rick has never been a Cub basher and has even said he roots for both teams but like you, I suspect he's just being a jagbag. |

I'd be happy for my Cub fan friends and the couple Cub fans I like on the board. I'd also like to see the Mets win. I think I'm just going to pick 4 or 5 teams to root for in each sport. |

But they are Chicago's team, so I followed it (as well as someone who knows nothing about hockey can) cheered them on, and enjoyed the championship. |

I'm confused by Rick's stance here. I can relate to the whole being spoiled by the 90's Bulls thing, but why would it not matter much if the Sox or Bulls never win again? I'm with Tom Brady on this issue, your favorite title should be the next one. That's what it's all about. You'd understand if you rooted for Titletown maybe... |
