White Sox Fans Claiming Their Team Is No. One in Chicago Are Deluded

I recently read an article on the Bleacher Report that made me laugh, and then made me angry.  It was by a Chicago White Sox fan that clearly has a grudge against the city of Chicago for making his team the bastard stepchild of the city of Chicago. 

Everyone knows that the Chicago Cubs will always be the team in Chicago.  It is right up there with the Chicago Bears in terms of passion from a group of fans.  The reason this article I read made me mad is the author is trying to say that the White Sux are the number one team in Chicago.

Here are his reasons:

1) Surprise!!!  They won a World Series in 2005, and the Cubs won one in 1908.  How many times do we have to hear this retarded excuse for why they are a "better team?" 

2) They have a better team in a better division with better pitching and better hitting, and they are going to get better.  I agree that they are going to get better and win the AL Central by a wide margin.  But be honest, isn't that like a math wiz beating a retard in chess?  The AL Central is the worst team in baseball.  With the payroll and roster that White Sux have they should win the division by 15 games.  The Cubs, even with a 96 win regular season, will likely win by 2 games over the St Louis Cardinals.

Starting to see why I got angry when I read this article?  I am tired of White Sox fans crying to themselves and over blogs that their team is better, and always following the sentence with some moronic reference to 2005.  WHO CARES? 

The Chicago Cubs have been in the toughest position of any team in baseball to win a World Series for these reasons:

1) Day games: It is nearly impossible for a team to stay fresh when they are playing night games on the road and coming home to a day game the next day over half of the schedule.  A lack of sleep will wear on a player.

2) Pressure: Imagine every start for a pitcher being the equivalent of a Playoff start.  Every game Big Z steps out on the mound, he knows that every fan is not hoping, but expecting him to go 8 innings with 8 K's and get a win.  Every game is sold out, the fans boo their own superstars when a slump occurs, and cheer them on when they break out of it.  Emotional roller coasters wear on a player.

3) The ballpark: The dimensions are awkward, the wind makes it difficult to design a team to win.  What I mean by this is: if a team has great pitching, the management builds a park to suit the pitching.  If it has good hitting, the management builds the park to suit the hitting.  Kind of hard to do that at Wrigley Field.  The wind, in over half the games at home, is the number one determinant of how a team will perform.  Lets see the White Sux's number one ranked pitching staff on June 20th if the wind is blowing out to left at 20 MPH.  I bet they give up 10 runs. 

So, the next time I read an article about why the White Sux are better than the Cubs, assuming I haven't thrown my computer out of the window yet, I will again get angry and write a posting describing the arrogance so my fellow Cubs fans will know the kind of crap being said in the ghetto, I mean Sox 35th on the Redline. 

Go Cubs, beat the White Sux in all 6 games this year!
