I am becoming a Red Sox fan! LOL Word you though you'd never hear from a Cubs fan, huh? After the what the White Sox have done these past two games I am rooting for ANYONE but them! (see Cubs fans are NOT Sox fans - you're either a Northsider or a Southsider...Cubs=Northside) Anyhoo, so I feel your pain right now dear. I truely do!

It was VERY painful watching these first two games. Especially seeing poor Matty getting pounded the way he did in the first game. I've really come to support him especially after he came back from getting hit in the head they way he did. Then when that ball went through Graffinino's legs last night, my only thought is WHY????? Even though my boys aren't out of it just yet, I'm thinking they may be pushing their luck trying to make this type of comeback 3 years in a row. Coming back to beat Oakland in '03 and obviously beating the Yanks last year. But you have to wonder if they can really do it again. I think if they can get through game 3, and that really depends on how Wakefield's knuckleball(a very unpredictable pitch) reacts, then with Schilling going in game 4 they do have a pretty good shot of at least getting to game 5.
Strangely, the thought of the BoSox not making it past this series doesn't bother me all too much. I don't know if I can say the same for the all the crazy Boston fans out there(and there's a lot of them). Maybe it's just the fact they FINALLY went all the way last year that I'm ok with giving someone else's team the chance to do the same. Maybe if your Cubbies ever can do that too maybe you'd feel the same(maybe not about the "other" sox though ).
I can sorta see where your coming from with rooting for another team to beat the "enemy". Right now I'm an Angels fan. Whether or not my guys make it, as long as someone beats those darn Yanks(preferably the Angels) then it's ALL GOOD!!
How 'bout them White Sox? lol
so, how are Cubs' fans taking the White Sox winning it all? Personally I say good for them. Chicago needed one of their teams to win. Hopefully the Cubbies can have their shot soon too. If I'm being honest, I never really got that two teams in one city thing, where you have to support either one team or the other. Personally if Boston had more than one team, I'd like to think that I'd cheer for both of them. I mean if they play in different leagues, they will rarely be playing each other so you'd hardly ever have to worry about cheering for one team over the other. But maybe if I was born into that type of environment, I might think differently.
Maybe I'm biased but I did think that my boys' win last year was better than the ChiSox this year. I mean yeah we both swept in the World Series but our comback in the ALCS was the comeback of all comebacks. Chicago has a little easier go of it in the LCS.
Re: Jen
Well, I wish I had an answer for that (see my post in Dr Mke's topics) The whole Cubs/Sox thing is just - I really can't explain it. I can take or leave baseball - but my husband is a DIE HARD Cubs fan. SO, this win was hard on him. You are either a Cubs fan or a Sox fan. There is no in between. I think it's great for the city. They really haven't had a season championship since the Bulls reign back in the 90's. I am a hocky girl - but the way the Hawks play, we have a snowball's chance of winning the cup. Bears are doing ok - so far - knock on wood. So who knows. Chicago is a sports town w/ die hard fans - win or lose.
AS for the World Series& the Cubs..well, I look at it this way...past 2 years we have had 2 curses broken. There's only one left....they say it happens in three's (to be continued this time next year...LOL)

Re: Jen
Just imagine what it would have been like in Chicago if there was only one baseball team to route for and they won. You said that the rally was 45 mins long, well the one in Boston last year was easily 2 hrs long. They had it on the saturday after the win to allow as many people to go as possible. They ended up with more than 3 million people filling the streets of Boston and the weather was pretty crappy that day too.
Boston is a sports town too but above all else it's a Red Sox town. I think the Red Sox will always be #1 in Beantown no matter how many championships the other teams win.
I bet if you asked your husband if there was a reason for the Cubs/Sox split among fans and he would say that's just how it is. I'd probably have to be involved in it to actually understand, just like someone would have to actually be part of the Boston/New York rivalry to truly understand it. Then again I am a part of it and I don't completely get it.
Now since you probably wouldn't be a fan if your husband wasn't, do you consider yourself a fan by choice or just by circumstance? My mom is in a similar situation as you since she could probably care less about baseball but cheers on the Red Sox cause my dad, my sister and I all do. But she doesn't follow any type of sports. Me on the other hand, I think that I'm a little bit of both choice and circumstance. I might not have been a fan of the Rex Sox at all if my dad and his family weren't already fans(except for my uncle who mysteriously became a Cleveland fan when he moved to Ohio ). But at the same time I didn't have to start following baseball just because my dad did. I mean he likes football and basketball too but I could care less about those. I don't know what it was, when I was 10 or 11 something just fascinated me about the sport and I haven't looked back since.
geez, I really can get carried away on a subject can't I?
