Go Sox
As a former (and still, in some sense, at heart) Chicagoan, it gives me a special and perverse kind of pleasure to see White Sox fans in the South Side and everywhere in the world tell the beloved Cubs to eat shit.
Sad, all the bad blood between Chicagoans. I have long-suffering love for my Cubs, and I still think Wrigley is the better place to see a ballgame, but I don't see why any Cubs fan shouldn't jump on the AL train when the Sox are doing well. Especially when the Cubs aren't even in the playoffs.
Of course, I have an extra reason to cheer for the Sox--they're in my division. And the Tigers may not have a curse, but they seem to be working on it.
