I grew up a Cardinal's fan (I grew up hating the Cubs with a passion). I lived in a town where I always heard and saw Cardinal's games as kid and we were closer to St. Louis than Chicago. So my first love is with the Cardinal's. I have lived in Chicago for 6 years going on 7 and I worked on the Southside when I moved to this area. I have cheered for the sox or listened to their games on the radio for a few years now. I would not call myself a long time sox fan, but I was very happy for the organization and the people involved. It is kind of ironic, the President of one of my organizations (where I am Vice-President) works for the White Sox in the Sox/Bulls training facility. I am happy for all for all those I know that grew up Sox fans and give the Cubs hell for it.

Ahh, I get it; you only root for two teams - the Cardinals, and whoever plays the Cubs.

It's kinda funny, I think the Cub-Sox rivalry is one-sided. Sox fans really hate Cub fans, but Cub fans don't really hate Sox fans (they actually hate Cardinal fans). Maybe it has to do with the Cardinals actually having more success in my lifetime than the White Sox. However, if this trend keeps up, I can learn to hate the Sox too...
