This story is getting less and less historically accurate.

He didnt ingratiate himself to anyone. For the few weeks he posted here, he got more shit than most people would in a year. People were lined up to tell him to fuck off.

I didnt vote for him. Did you? I dont think the 20 votes he may have gotten here affected anything.

I still think you're way off on this. Bernstein anyway. Not sure about North.

I voted for him 500 times because I thought that Ten Foot Midget was my new best friend.

Bernstein most likely took the same path to Sox fandom as Mackeyfish. Mac has admitted many times he was originally a Cubs fan and switch to the Sox. My dad did the same exact thing after 1969. Only issue issue is even though they try their hardest to be a "die sox white fan" at heart they are all still Cubs fans.

Any Chicago fan who appreciates excellence would obviously choose to be a White Sox fan.

I'm not positive about this, but I think Mac has said that after the Sox won in '05, he'd rather see the Cubs win one now. I don't call that a Sox fan. If the Sox won twenty-five in a row, Frank Coztansa and I want them to win the 26th. That's a Sox fan.

And really, this is the problem I have with the balance on the Score. Call it "WSOX" all you want but the Cubs fans are real Cubs fans. Finfer is NEVER going to say a good word about the Sox and he hopes they lose 162 every year. I can respect that. It's fine. He's a Cubs fan. drinky is a Cubs fan too. Unabashed. But all the so-called "Sox fans" almost always have a better outlook on the Cubs than they do "their own team".

"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit! This game is diarrhea coming out of my dick!"

He did say something along those lines, but I don't think it was he would rather see the Cubs win over the Sox, but now that the Sox have won one in his life time that the big thing left he wants to see happen is the Cubs win one. I think he would still rather see the Sox win 25 in a row.

Well, who are the guys on the Score you would call aggressive Sox fans in the way that guys like Hanley, Abbatacola, Finfer, and Zawaski are aggressive Cubs fans? Not to mention Murph who is gone and was the worst of them all. By aggressive, I mean that they aren't going to see the Sox in any type of favorable light. Fred was sort of that guy, I think. Which isn't something that I have a problem with, as I said. But there is no antidote. bernstein is supposedly a Sox fan. I know Mully is a real Sox fan. But both those guys are going to always take the negative view of the Sox and a more positive one of the Cubs. At least that's how it seems to me.

Yeah, I know Mac's history but I just dont see it in Bernstein

I would not call Hanley Drinky or Finfer aggressive. Cant speak on Zawaski.

You want aggessive Sox fan? Check out Carmen De Falco. He's the worst.

Mulligan is more PRO MY TEAM AND DOWN WITH YOURS than anyone at the SCORE

I don't hear that, Bryan. Mully is always looking at the Sox with a jaundiced eye. And I don't have a problem with that. A lot of Sox fans are negative toward the team. It's our nature.

I think OKC has already declared 2013 a bust. I don't question his Sox fan bonefides. But if he were to couple that up by saying, "I think the Cubs are really building something. Rizzo, Castro, people don't think so, but this team is close. They may just take the division." That to me isn't a Sox fan. It's not a realistic fan at all. It's a guy looking negatively at his own team and bending over backward to find the positive in another team. And bernstein does that type of shit all the time.

I dont know what you hear but every time Mully mentions the Sox, he squeezes in a shot at the Cubs and when Hanley is criticizing the Cubs (plenty) he usually works in a Sox are awesome reference


Put Mac aside. He doesnt count, he's admitted to being a fan of both at some point.

The Mully and Hanley stuff is mellow, friendly shots back and forth. Mully generally takes a negative view of the Sox himself.

It's not like bernstein taking a shit on Charlie Leesman, a guy I'm certain how knows little about. If it were some Cub farmhand he'd be talking about how he's part of Theo's plan for the future and the guy probably wouldn't be nearly as good as Leesman.

Well, he's clearly a Theo fan


I think he gets excited about the story of the Cubs winning. Not them actually winning.

win 26 AND Cubs lose 100. That's a Sox fan

Isn't Mac's point about the Cubs winning due to radio ratings/interest/excitement/listenership? If so, makes sense.

No, I think the child in him and the cub fan in him still wants it.

Mac has real Cub fan memories from the Billy William days of his youth.

For whatever reason I was in the car at 2am yesterday and flipped this on. A very clearly drunk caller asked Steven what his opinion was on this whole Derrick Rose situation. This wouldn't have been so bad if Steven hadn't said Rose needs to get back out there a moment before taking that call.

I turned on the radio in the middle of that first guy's call. He was on for like three minutes and I started to think he was a guest considering how coherent he sounded for a 2am Sunday call, then I remembered that didn't make a lick of sense.
