"You can brag about the national following the Cubs have all you want -- most of it is due to the Superstation WGN factor, but you should realize this -- if fans come when the team doesn't win, what 's the incentive for the Cubs to bring a WS trophy home?"
Thanks Rich. That's my point. Maybe now they'll believe someone with more that 2000 posts.
Luke: Yes I started this thread with the premise that the Sox will finally get the respect they deserve. I mainly said that to stir the pot cuz I knew it would piss you Cub fans off. Now back to respect. It has been said in this thread that the Sox won't really achieve that respect until they win a few more like the Pats and I can't argue with that. Heck, I just drove back from Mesa this morning and all ESPN radio could talk about was the BoSox and Theo. Look at it this way, if the ChiSox didn't win this year this thread would've never been started. The Sox fans and the team have had our 15 minutes of fame/respect and yes it is fading fast but I'd rather take that 15 minutes over admiration and a place to drink beer any day. Because someone or something can and will take Wrigley from you some day. I don't have any idea when but I do know one thing, some Cub fan will respond to this by saying....There's a typical Sox fan envious of our field. Busch stadium is the latest one to go....who will be next?
And for God's sake let go of this Sianis the goat thing. Well, our's is a REAL curse and Boston's curse was a made up curse. That's why they won and we haven't. Yep, that's our excuse. We will NEVER win anything unless that Sianis guy recants his telegraphed smelly goat curse. If the NBC show Friends was based in Chicago instead of New York I have an idea for a song in the coffeeshop/bar called Murphy's Bleachers....smelly goat, smelly goat, why have you cursed us?
Sorry, was that too mean. I know how us Sox fans can be mean. Matter of fact, I'm thinking of going out and pulling a knife on some Mariner's fan right now cuz that's what we all do. Or better yet, have a beer on me for another Cubs "wait til next year, year".
