Incorrect.

The Sox make the playoffs so few times, you should be able to count them.

I'm sure they could get lucky for a few years in a row but on the whole I think probably not.

It is kind of amusing about the whole "Cubs fans don't care about the Sox" thing to have this thread during the all important NLCS.

Cool. We all agree that the playoffs are mostly about who the better team is and we all agree that Cubs fans care about the White Sox. Who says that arguments on here never change minds!

Just like baseball playoffs, thread posting is completely random and means nothing.

The 2008 White Sox and 2005 White Sox shared 3 starting position players and 1 starting pitcher. Not exactly two parts of the same era, but I'll give it to you. The posts in that thread you brought up consist of me outlining their 2 postseason appearances in 14 seasons (now 17 seasons). That being said, the current Cubs organization has already surpassed the best of that the White Sox could accomplish in their Ozzie Guillen days. One WS both ways, but the Cubs have more appearances and have gotten farther in their appearances.

I need to see if the White Sox are all in by signing an old and declining player this offseason.

Really? In barely 12 hours, there was a thread that grew to 4 pages in the Cubs section. The subject of that thread was a Sox fan.

One of the Sox fan owners of this very site created a Dodgers subforum to troll Cubs fans.

You were so quick to troll you didn't even bother to fucking read w/r/t IMU WS thoughts.

And that thread was created BY a Sox fan!!

How can you know that? There is no exact percentage.

Not at all.

There are twenty threads in the Dodgers section. One started by a Yankees fan, seven started by Sox fans, and twelve started by Cubs fans.

So if that section exists solely to troll Cubs fans, than you guys are trolling yourselves.

That just proves the trolling worked! Do you know what trolling means?

make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them

The Dodgers are a historic franchise, have existed in the two best baseball cities in the country, have an owner who is willing to spend money, and they are really good. Why can't we root for them?

Root for whoever you want. I just don't recall there being a section for the Sox playoff opponent...oh wait.

It's only appropriate when a team is playing in a third consecutive LCS because that is a huge deal. Next year we'll create a Cardinals section to troll the Dodger fans.

This. If you think the "trolling" (using that term loosely) between the two is equivalent, you just can't see anything beyond your own perspective. Sox fans have been waiting for last night for months, and the Cubs aren't even eliminated yet. It is mind-boggling to me that anyone can think it's even.
