This is hysterical. As a diehard Cubs fan, I gotta say hats off to the Sox...it was your year of destiny. Never before have I seen a team of .260 hitters dominate like the Sox did this year. Never before has a team capitalized on every officiating blunder like the Sox. To all Sox fans, enjoy it while I'm drowning in envy.

But I'm afraid that's where it ends. I respect the Sox no more than the 2002 Angels, or the 2003 Marlins. Above average teams who got hot at the right time, with no superstars on their team, and fell back to mediocrity shortly after their day in the sun.

Sox Fans, say what you want about the Cubs. Yea, we're cursed...the baseball gods spoke in 2003. It was supposed to be the Cubs in '03, Bosox in '04, Chisox in '05. All suffering's going to come to an end! But even the Cubs found a way to **** that up. So enjoy it while you can, because we thought the Bears would win more than one, and we thought the Jordan years would never end.

What I think is funny is that the respect will never come the Sox way. They will always be second fiddle. And not even a World Series title is going to change that.
