Reply #21: Now, see, that's a rivalry in place.

Sorry to offend you, I pretty much figure you're either a Sox fan or a Cubs fan--if you're both, you're not a very good either. It's sorta like claiming you like both the Dems and the Republicans, in my mind. You can either be one or the other. Both? Nah. "Chicago Fans," those people who wear those damn half-cubs half-sox shirts at the crosstown games...I just don't like them. Because they don't buy into the bitter rivalry, I suppose, and I like the rivalry.

And no offense to you, but I was raised to believe a Cubs fan is the epitome of evil ;) Sorry if the teasing came off as offensive, I didn't mean to be. Mostly with my Cubs friends, I claim they're not fans but fashionable, and they mention that Chicago is a Cubs town, our attendances suck and therefore *we're* not the real fans, etc.
