100% with you. I'm not a Sox fan because I need an outlet for my Cubs hate. It's not even the team I don't like--I don't like their bro fans.
But this is soooooo stupid.
Back in '05 I got a letter published in the Sun-Times talking about how it's lonely to be a northsider when the Sox are in the playoffs. On that same page was some loser Cub talking about how he would never, ever support the Sox' run no matter what and he didn't care if they were a Chicago team.
Whatever.
We don't have any reason to talk--they made the moves, spent the money, and now look at them. Sure they had to go through a couple of losing years to rebuild but do you think anybody cares about that now? We've been putting the same so-so thing out for almost a decade. We should be EMULATING them, not hoping for them to lose.
So yeah I support them. I'm not watching the games and I'm never ever switching teams but cmon.
Agree 100%. I hate bad fans. I have plenty of friends that are Cubs fans, in fact, it was mostly Cubs fans that called me after the Sox won it in '05 to say congrats.
I've been in a discussion with a guy on FB who is terrified that if we blew this team up, no fans would show up. Kill our fan base. I think the damage is already done. It's a weird state, and we need to make a serious change. Right now, we are just hoping to get lucky and not make any changes. Just think the Sox can do better.
I am not cheering for them, but not cheering against them. I am however cheering for the Astros.
