In my opinion, Cubs fans are the best in baseball. There is nothing like the Cub fan. Cubs fans are die-hard and love to root for their team. They are passionate and treat baseball as a big part of their lives. The thing I like most about the Cub fan is that they hold players accountable. If a player makes an idiotic mistake, they will let them know. However, they do not take it too far. For instance, Cubs fans never swear or insult a player of either team for no reason.
On the other side of town is the Sox fan. Sox fans are, like Cub fans, die-hard and love their team. They are passionate about the game, just like Cub fans. However, they often take it way too far. What got me thinking about this whole story was something that aired on the radio during the White Sox-Brewers series. "Homer" on ESPN Milwaukee was having a discussion with former ball players about bad fans. They began talking about Sox fans. One shared a story about an experience he had in Milwaukee. The pitcher was warming up in the bull pen and heard a fan dropping F-bombs somewhere near him. He looked up and saw it was a small boy. Nice, right? But, it gets worse. He looked up and saw the boys dad. The boys dad said, "That's right! Listen to him because you F--king suck! You know it!" That's is why Cub fans hate Sox fans. Also, Sox fans care more about the Cubs losing than the Sox winning.
Just thought I would add those thoughts on the eve of the big series. The first game is tomorrow, June 16, at Wrigley Field. The match-up is John Danks (CWS) vs. Carlos Zambrano (CHC). The game begins at 7:05 and will be broadcasted on WGN-TV (Chicago station that can be seen throughout the US and parts of Canada) and on Radio 720 WGN (can be heard throughout most of the US and some of southern Canada).
