In that case I don't think they wanted them to lose. They did however embrace the fact that they always lost but had players to root for(20 strikeouts WOOOOO!) and it was almost like a badge of honor to stick with a team that was so sad and pathetic that anyone with a brain would have quit not only on the team but on the sport and the rest of the world thought they were idiots for spending their whole lives in such a wasted fashion.

White Sox fans bitterness warms my cold black heart. Good luck with the rebuilding next year. I am sure Todd Frazier and James Shields are the future

You love the Mets almost as much as you love the Clinton's. I've got it....

You may not have heard but the Sox won a World Series in recent history.

Can anyone tell me the year, as my memory is failing me at the moment?

No Im not.

Yes, you are.

I don't care what my team puts in the stands versus your team. It does not matter.

Sox fans that claim they are Sox fans but never go to any games...they should actually consider if they are truly Sox fans. That is all.

Outside of that, good teams should have better attendance than bad teams. And Cubs tickets are harder for me to get this year than they were four years ago. I like that problem. This is the extent of how much I think about attendance.

IMU also doesn't hate the White Sox because, ya know, doggone it, he just never really thinks about them. Wait--he's also glad when the Cubs play the Sox because it's the South Siders' World Series. Did I miss anything inside the Disaffected Cub Fan Rhetorical Quiver?

Who gives a fuck. We all know the reasons behind the attendance issue. Enjoy the Cubs baseball dominance. Getting involved in the Controversy d'Attendance is like making plans to get back at the girl who broke your heart in high school while Sofia Vergara blows you. Well...it's a little like that.

So shut the fuck up for a second and notice that I am not the one that brought up attendance.

I want the White Sox to be competitive. It makes for a larger focus on baseball on local media...and baseball is my favorite sport. It also can help keep my organization honest, as they feel they need to compete for the city's attention.

You really need to focus your issues with Cubs fans elsewhere.

The best thing the Sox could do is trade Sale, but I don't trust the current fuckwads in charge to do it properly.

I think if the Sox can put a really good offense on the field the sky is the limit for this team. I don't think MANY teams would want to face the Sox top 3 starters in a playoff series.

Just yesterday, Kirkwood referenced the Ligue incident. Why is there a double standard that Cubs fans can reference White Sox events from 2001 and 2002, but Sox fans are "living in the past" when they reference a WORLD SERIES title from 2005?

I'll get back to you when after I get done having to defend the Cubs for being loveable losers even though they have the best record in baseball. Let's talk present. Congrats on your canine attendance championship.
