Today at Wrigley it's the Red Sox vs. the beloved Cubbies.
And guess who won't be in the line-up for either team?



Today it's Maddux against some guy named Arroyo.

3. Thank you!
That's exactly what I was going to say (except I was going to add "World Series Champions" in there somewhere).

10. Purists don't consider what they play in the AL to be baseball.
But I still like the White Sox anyway.

12. The team that still can't draw flies to its dunghill of a stadium?
Although that's more a reflection on Sox "fans" than the team itself - can't go to games since they're too busy bashing the Cubs! :D

14. no, it all has to do with LOCATION
If the Sox played amoungst tons of Lincoln Park bars, theyd sellout too.

Reinsdorf should have built the stadium in Addison a few years ago.

21. You can call Comiskey (yes, Comiskey) many things
But a dunghill it is not. I get a hoot out of Cub fans praising that antiquated piece of garbage they call a ballpark. Conrete falling, urine-soaked, dirty excuse for a major league park. Much rather watch baseball at Comiskey. Much nicer, cleaner, and fan-friendly. Plus, the extra added attraction of having the BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL. How many games are the Cubs behind the Cards now?
