Drawing 30K per game with a bad baseball team is absolutely something to brag about. Especially considering the Sox struggle to draw 25k even when they're winning

No, it's just a sign that some people refuse to vote with their wallets if the team sucks. When the Phillies went into the toilet a few years ago, there's no chance I would've paid money to go see that trainwreck and I was thrilled when the attendance bottomed out. Sometimes fans need to send a message.

For YEARS, there were Cubs fans who made ownership lazy and not care if they ever won. Cue up the Lee Elia rant.

That's great, but where does that get teams like the White Sox? Low attendance means less revenue which means smaller payroll. The Cubs were able to hire Theo and Jed who drafted well and now have the money to spend on free agents. Just wait until the Cubs launch their own TV network. Then people will really start to hate the Cubs because they'll have the ability to pay pretty much anything to anyone.

Haven't you been paying attention, Rich? The Cubs have already won the 2016 World Series.

And yet the White Sox managed to win DESPITE being the red-headed stepchild in Chicago.

Seeing the Cubs listed as clear favorites does my heart well. When they lose (not if) it will be another happy day watching Cubs fans suffer yet again.

And they haven't done anything since then. They've made the playoffs once (?) since. At least the Cubs are consistent [emoji12]

Half of them do not even know who is on the team. But that is the life of a Cubs fan. Brag about something that means nothing and then tell the Sox fans their team suck while they have one more World Series appearance than anything the Cubs have had in over 50 years alone.

This reminds me...what ever happened to the Annual OT Baseball thread?

I've been to all 30 current MLB parks. The game I went to at Wrigley was the absolute worst baseball experience I've ever had. I got stuck in seats down the third base line. None of the people around me paid a damned bit of attention to the game.

And I live about 2.5 hours from Chicago, so I could easily go more often.

I was thirty minutes late.... I was going to ask if this is it??

Was your neck stiff for the next three days from turning your head to the right for 3 hours??
