The bluster is all Cubs in Windy City

Really with all kidding aside. Who puts a stadium right in the middle of town with hardly any place to park your car. Sell seats directly behind poles so you have to move because of ubstructed views, bathrooms with Pi-- on the floor & troughs to use, dirt EVERYWHERE , Concrete falling down, etc... & the ONE & I repeat ONE time I went to Sox Park or whatever it's called, The upper deck's like climbing a ladder, the wonderful view of housing projects , the Hillbilly announcer, the Crime ridden neighborhood....NO THANKS TO BOTH OF YOUR FAN BASES..... Good Luck....from the Northwoods.

Yeah, you should definitely go back to 1914 and warn everyone that people would be living in the vicinity of the ballpark one day. Sheesh.

One of these days I'm going to come up there so I can pay my respects to the workers who gave their lives so that a bunch of drunk cheeseheads can not show up and not support their team.

By the way, before you label me as a hick and an outsider who has no business commenting on a Chicago issue: I was born and raised on the South Side but went to college in the land of toll-free roads and honest government and stayed. So, there.

Honest government in Wisconsin? You gotta be kidding! Illinois political corruption has spread to Wisconsin.

OK, you got me, Tom. I should have been more specific: Honest *local government in Northeast Wisconsin*.

talking to my white sox friends back home in chicago all i hear is they will fade, its been proven over 100 years! i'm sick of hearing that s**t like these cubs or any other team we've had were the same ones playing over those 100 years! then they will say the sox r at the top of league in home runs, hey stupid, your at the bottom of the league in runs scored, rbi's, and wins and most other stats that matter so what good r those home runs doing! the cubs r at the top of the league in almost every offensive statistic and pitching statistic! lets keep it up!

And here is a perfectly legitimate reason why every Sox fan with a heartbeat, and some without one, hate the Cubs. End of story.

And here is another. Trash talking fans making up stats. I guess I missed a math lesson somewhere along in my education, because I think it's weird that even though the Sox are at the "bottom of the league" in wins, they are listed as being tied for second place in their division, which actually has 5 teams that play in the same league. How's this for a stat: Can you say three-digit championship drought? Now there's a team you can get behind!

you should rephrase that to 2nd place in a weak divison! what does 100 years mean? who cares, we are talking about this years teams! the sox suck, and the cubs r good! its funny that as much as i hate the sox, i was able to say through out the whole 2005 season as much as i hated it and wanted them to lose, the sox were the best team! and for some reason when the cubs r doing good, all a sox fan can do is bring up its been almost 100 years. dont get me wrong, its early in the season, but the cubs are one of the elite teams in the league and the stats show it, while the sox r in the scum of the mlb in almost every single stat! just give us our props right now even though it bugs you the way it bugged me in 05! im not saying will go all the way, but our chances r way better than the sox! you guys suck and you know it, your division sucks, your jumpin on the wagon fans suck! the south side sucks, and thats why the cubs will always be the one true team in chi-town! GO CUBS GO!

and another thing, made up stats? i see your the i only pay attention to my own team stats fan! go check any site where you can look up mlb team stats ( i suggest yahoo sports) and click on eack stats, and the cubs r near the top of all of them in hitting and pitching!

and what does that say about sox fans where a team that hasnt won in 99 years fills up the seats every game, and one that won one in 2005 cant? obvioous it is a team you can get behind! go cubs go!
