Baseball megathread 2012 and beyond

[Birdman]

Go Red Sox!!!

[cantona7]

mariners will be garbage this year. dont draft any mariners players who arent named ichiro or felix hernandez

giants look good again. doubt they will defend though. to many other teams looking better.

[Wrap_it_up_B]

GO WHITESOX.

Do you know what the worst part of being a CUBS fan is ?

Telling your dad your gay.

[cantona7]

cubs> whitesox. even though they haven't won a title since the teddy roosevelt administration in 1908.

[Wrap_it_up_B]

CUBS = Completely Useless By September.

All-Time Series CWS, 45-39

Every team has a bad century, right?

A Cubs fan dies and goes to Hell. The Devil is surprised to see him smiling. "What are you smiling about?" he asks the Cubs fan. "It's just like Chicago in June." the Cubs fan replies. The Devil cranks the heat and humidity to maximum and says, "How do you like that!" "Just like Chicago in August." the Cubs fan replies. The Devil then freezes Hell. "How do you like that!" The Cubs fan jumps up and down yelling, "The Cubs won the World Series! The Cubs won the World Series!"

[YourGuru]

I obligated by location to root for either the Angels or Dodgers.... I prefer The Giants...

West Coast bottom line... We like to win.


Further facts from the year the Chicago Cubs last won a World Series.. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1908

Most notably The Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) was founded in 1908 following the discovery of a large oil field in Masjed Soleiman, Iran. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Persian_Oil_Company

"Noise pollution can't be that much of a problem. There's nothing to cheer about."--State rep. John F. Dunn, arguing for the installation of lights at Wrigley Field
"The Cubs were taking batting practice, and the pitching machine threw a no-hitter."

I'm from the South Side of Chi-Town, and I'm Irish. So by birth I'm a Whitesox fan. My grandfather, my father, and my brothers are all SOX fans. I have one brother that is a Scrubs fan but to people who know me IRL I don't admit that or even speak of it, but he also likes the Sox . But if you live in Chi-Town eveyone knows you have to make a choice. lol

Oh ya Go BULLS also sorry I know its a Baseball thread but the Bulls are kicking but.

Go Tribe, haha!!

[cantona7]

cubs seems to just be the better club regardless of team record. def better fans(imo). whitesox always seemed to be fair weather to me. keep in mind you guys only won 1 title after the black sox scandle in 05. not much more to brag about than the cubs. no offense to anyone, just my 2 cents.

[Wrap_it_up_B]

Don't let a couple bad apples define all the fans. Every club has asshole fans. The Cubs only sell out every game bc the park history and tourist. I dont think I was bragging about the Sox. Just making fun of the Cubs and getting excited about Baseball. No offense taken man, just talking baseball.

[DHBlues]

Go Cardinals! One does not have to be from Chicago to hate the Cubs.

[cantona7]

mariners 2-1 now. nice gem thrown by felix on friday. saturday was an ok outing by vargas. and we just got plain beat up today. fister is better than that.looking forward to seeing pineada pitch.

[cantona7]

Eric Bedard pitching for us tonight, first start/app since July 2009. wish he'd play like he did at baltimore. dude has alot of potential.

[Nimrod]
