Punch and Judy Garland Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Someone brought this up in another thread. I'll withhold my opinion to at least the poll unbiased and will state my case shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi Town Sox Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 That's easy , the Twins. if it werent for the twins, we might not play the baseball we do now and we'd still be swinging for the fences with every batter. Besides I don't really have a hatred for the twins like I do for the Cubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAFTR Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The twins have a great organization, one that I respect a lot. If they weren't our rivals, I'd probably be a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Who cares, we broke the barrier first, Sox fans always have to reference the Cubs, even in their pennant celebrations. They won't get there anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Cubs. Chicago over the Twin cities anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I don't have to deal with dbag Twins fans on a daily basis. A twins WS wouldn't really bother me in the least. A cubs WS? Now that would be hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'd rather see the Cubs go than the f***ing Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuittersNvrWin24 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Twins...I didn't cheer for the Cubs in '03 and I still wouldn't have even if they didn't choke and beat the Marlins to reach the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 tuff 1 2 v. good points 1. cubs and their stupid fans going nuts 2. city of chicago / twins hatred. Ill go with twins, cubs fans would annoy the s*** outta us. and Twins are a v. good organization, with very little money spend on players (unlike yankees), and wud give AL central more respect i'd guess.

Kalapse Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I don't hate the Twins. It'd be cool to see an AL Central team win the World Series, it would give this division some well deserved respects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Twins in a heartbeat. Really I don't even mind the Twins as a fan. They play the game correctly, and they still manage to compete even with a miserly payroll. f*** the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) I actually like the Twins a whole bunch. Minnesota is my second home basically. Plus, I will always go for the AL and especially the AL Central first and foremost. I always want to prove our division is the best. (it's got nothing to do with the Cubs, BTW) Edited October 19, 2005 by Kid Gleason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Twins, no contest. AL Central team, well-managed, play the game the way it should be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Twins, I even rooted for them in the playoffs. I hate cubs and their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 If the situation being reversed means that the Sox have not been to a WS since 1959, then I go with the Twins. BUT if the Sox have already won a WS of their own, then I'd root for the Cubs. We have to win it next. Then they can win it and we can drop the stupid 'rivalry'.

Do people really think that the rivalry would go away, even if both teams brought home trophies? I think not. I think the rivalry would be there, just as intense, even if the Chicago ballclubs won alternating championships for the next 10 years.

I think not. I think the rivalry would be there, just as intense, even if the Chicago ballclubs won alternating championships for the next 10 years. You might be right, but if both teams went back and forth with WS wins for a while, at least it would finally BE a rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Twins. No contest. I hate the Indians more. There a bunch of cocky pricks. Oh yeah. This goes without saying: :fthecubs At least we were able to get 5 more outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'd vote for the Twins. I respect them as a franchise,even if I dislike them. I made the poll because someone insinuated that most (i think he said this) sox fans would root for the Cubs and I didn't feel that was true so I tested it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
