Okay Sox are playing the Brewers coming up.

Who are you rooting for as a Cubs fan?

Meatball fan answers Brewers - SOX SUCK!

Smart fan: Sox. The Cubs need the Brewers to lose these games.

I'm hoping for the Sox to win in an injury marred series that takes out 3 or 4 of the Sox best players for the season. I hate the F&*&ing SOX!!

It honestly doesn't matter. Its not like the brewers are running away with the division. Its the first half of the season for a questionably put together cubs team that is playing .500 baseball. I don't really care what is happening in other games when the cubs can't even take care of their own business.

it's not really meatballery, it's just provincialism. or maybe that's one in the same.

if that's the case, then all of you are meatballs. everyone. in the whole world.

It's simple. You want other NLC teams to lose. By hook or by crook, I don't give a shit how, just get the other NLC teams to pile up Ls. The only shame in tonight's 18 inning bullpen killer is that it's between two NLW teams and not involving a NLC team or two.
The Sox aren't a rival save 6 times a year. Otherwise, let them feast on NLC teams or teams we're potentially chasing in the Wild Card. That's much harder to determine though in June.

My answer to this question s simple, mult:

You're a beluga.

_________________

It doesn't matter what either of them do if the Cubs continue to blow chunks.

I would like to see a great, hard fought series, with each game going into extra innings (tire out the Brewers bullpen) and the Sox winning them all. Sprinkle in an injury or two to key Brewers and I'll be positively giddy. Trevor Hoffman having an elbow or shoulder problem, would be especially nice.

Go Cubs!!!!

ive never understood the severe dislike for the other chicago team when youre a fan of the other. of course i want the sox to sweep the brewers. them winning/losing has no bearing on what the cubs do in any way

Alot of work to set up but it was worth it

For those who were not there,Ron Santo WAS the best 3rd basemen of his era!
That would explain the Gold Gloves,All Star Games,Walks & RBI's he has gained
in his time.

Brooks Robinson made big plays in the biggest of games.
His seasonal stats are not quite as good compared to Santo's.

15 all star games...16 gold gloves...an AL MVP...a world series MVP...

sorry, Brooks is better...

In what fantasy world is that true?
Found the info below on the 'net.

ESPN has an article on third basemen up right now and what a tough position it is to play. I don’t have a problem with the article itself, but the way they teased it yesterday was odd. They said that the position has been “quiet” since Brooks Robinson retired, until recently. That’s crazy talk, of course. Mike Schmidt is probably the best third baseman to ever play, and he played for another decade after Robinson retired. Wade Boggs is a Hall of Famer and he played after Robinson. And George Brett played third for years after Robinson retired.

But this is a Cubs blog, and the title of the post probably makes it clear - I’m not talking about who came after Robinson, but who played at the same time. Because Robinson wasn’t really as good as Ron Santo, who was his contemporary. Santo’s career started and ended within Robinson’s. Santo was a lifetime .277/.362/.464 hitter. Robinson was a .267/.322/.401 hitter. Robinson was an amazing fielder, but that’s a pretty big difference in offense, and he’d have to flash a whole lot of leather to make up for it, especially because Santo wasn’t a bad fielder either.
...None of this means Robinson wasn’t a great player, and I’m certainly not saying he doesn’t belong in the Hall of Fame. Nor am I saying that Santo should be in the Hall, although if Robinson is in and the only thing that makes him a Hall of Famer is that he played a longer time and had a bunch more mediocre seasons to pad his stats, I think Santo really is getting robbed. (Brooks Robinson himself, by the way, does think that Santo should be in the Hall.) But what I’m really trying to get across is that between Santo and then Mike Schmidt, Robinson was never really the best third baseman playing in the majors, and it was sort of odd for ESPN to set up their article to make it sound like he was, or that Robinson was a shining light in the wilderness that is the sorry state of play at the hot corner.

If you've ever beaten up an onfield player or coach with your daddy, you might be a meatball.
If your day is brightened by a team in another league losing to a team you don't play, you might be a meatball.
If your friend with 10 teeth is nicknamed "Lucky" you might be a meatball.
If you've considered shaving the word "Sox" into the sides of your mullet, you might be a meatball.
If you've considered shaving the words "Cubs Sux" into the sides of your mullet, you might be a meatball.
If your definition of better baseball is better food at the stadium, then you might be a meatball.

I'm not a Sox fan. I don't know the subject material very well. The cubs post was basically an autobiography.

According to that criteria then I'm a meatball Cubs fan, but not a meatball White Sox fan.

Very good Darkside on both the Cubs and Sox meatball indicators. The board is hopping today with lots of funny chit.

More Sox meatballery-
If you've ever worn a cork with a Cubs C t-shirt, you might be a meatball.
If you regularly stand in the bleacher seats before the game to catch batting practice homers and then yell at a player to throw you the ball over & over, & get mad if he doesn't....you might be a meatball (I've witnessed this too regularly).
If you yell at the opposing player that is at bat so that the crowd mic picks up your razzing, you might be a meatball.
