The Sox have always been Chicago's Black Sheep of sports. I have no idea why either.
Because it's not true. But it is an idea that Sox management and front office
loves to feed into.
For many years, the White Sox were the black sheep of
White Sox fans themselves, and their hatred of Reinsdorf.
latter part I agree with (about WSox fans), but I disagree with the last part. WSox are black sheep. Name a city outside of Chicago where anyone gives a shit about the WSox. Now do the same in regards to the Cubs. After having lived there for 5 years, I'd say it's pretty accurate that Chicago overall favors the Cubs.
partly fan base, partly b/c the Cubs are the first franchise (originally known as the Chicago White Stockings, franchise came to be known as the Cubs, then Commiskey, who once played for the White Stockings, created the WSox), partly b/c Wrigley is a monument, US Cellular is a travesty, partly b/c there is absolutely nothing on the South side, it can go on and on....
spoken like a true person who hasn't been to the southside/US Cell in years. :thumbsup:
earlier this season, actually.
Just as many mullets and thin-mustacheod 16 year-old punks swilling High Life, tossing trash cans and starting fights as there have always been.
Don't get me wrong, I like watching games there. Highly entertaining and I don't have to hear the god-awful Hawk/DJ broadcast. (Holy shit they suck).
Also, I worked on the Southside for nearly 3 years. Was there every day. Believe me: there ain't a damn thing there.
Seriously though...what kind of true fan calls it The Cell? Fight the power, brah! It's Comiskey. Always will be (or Comiskey lite, if you prefer)
