And at least the Cubbies are a game over .500. Well, as of now. It's too bad I still have to listen to Cardinal fans. I'm (almost) hoping if the Cubs don't make it, that Houston catches them, just so I can be a sore loser and rub it in.

Here in St. Louis we are hoping to see a Cardinals vs White Sox World Series. Who will the Cub fans pull for then? [/B][/QUOTE]

The Bears.

Well, ok, I might get heck for saying this, especially when I get back up to the city, but I would have to pull for the Sox. When I grew up in the area, the big rivalry was obviously Cubs vs. Sox. My best friend growing up was a Sox fan, and the first game I ever went to was a Sox vs. Tigers game at Comiskey Park, so I never really learned to "hate" the Sox as much as Sox fans "hate" the Cubs. Then, it wasn't until I moved downstate that I learned about the Cubs/Cardinals rivalry. And about loud-mouth Cardinal fans. So, that's when I learned how to root for two teams: the Cubs, and whoever plays the Cardinals. By the way, how did that World Series thing go last year?

Yep, I know - I'm just a bitter, petty old Cub fan. And proud of it.
