And any other CUBS hater on this forum.......
Sorry for being off topic, but these were TOO damn funny not to post.
Figured lots of the locals would get a kick out of em....

I read something on the Thirsty Whale board (yeah, that says it all right there...) and a Sox fan was saying "The Sox made it further than the Cubs!" Oooooh, they went to Game 4 and lost it all instead of Game 3, though neither team made it out of the series successfully. Sox fans will find any way to make themselves look better, eh?

It's too bad the Cubs fell apart like that - it looked like it was their year all summer long!

Poor Cubbies, poor Sox...I'd sympathize with y'all but...I'M TOO DAMN BUSY WAITIN' FOR THE PHILS TO KICK SOME DODGER ASS!!!!

P.S. I hope...

Phillies trading Jim Thome for Aaron Rowand = EPIC FAIL!

When it's good natured joking or ribbing it's one thing, but one thing I can't stand about being in Chicago is when I see people getting shitty with each other over baseball teams. They're fucking baseball teams, folks. I don't mean anyone in this thread particularly but just in general. People get way too caught up in this ridiculous shit.

For the record.....I like both teams. That seems to short-circuit some people's minds when I tell them that because they can't fathom how I can't pick a side. Much like how I feel about alot of music, film, etc., I don't have just one favorite that I align myself with. I just like watching a good game, I don't care who it is. Next they should just form two more Chicago teams, for the east and west sides, and then we can divide everyone up and make them choose. Eventually we'll take a bunch of them and make all four sides fight to the death with weapons inside Solider's Field, lol.

Oh, and for any SOX fans in the house......

Larry,
Come on bro, it's the EXACT same thing with music....
How much crap have Vito and I received on this here forum for being out-of-the-closet RHAPSODY fans....

It's all in good fun.

Baseball fans are just as passionate as metal fans.

so true. I love ol' Thome. I root for him no matter what...just an all around geat guy and awesome player. Rowand played his ass off for us...but he ain't no Thome.

I hope nobody takes offense to my Phils comments - I'm just havin' fun, and I'm really excited that they're actually good this year and have a chance.

I agree, that's what I said, unless you misunderstood or I didn't make it clearer. They do the same shit in music and it drives me insane. And like I said, poking fun in a silly way, like we do to you and Vito about power metal, is fine. It's when people take this shit seriously that it irks me. I'm sure you've been out and about at work or at a bar or wherever and seen/heard plenty of people who really take this shit seriously. I've seen fistfights start over Cubs vs. Sox, That blows my mind. There's being passionate, and then there's taking your silly allegiances too far. I mean, I love KISS and Voivod and consider myself a serious fan of them, but I'm not gonna get into a barfight with someone beacuse they think they suck haha

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

And if anyone on here actually got genuinely shitty towards you and Vito for liking Rhapsody or whatever, I'd shut that motherfucker up quickly, because that won't be tolerated around here.

WHAT????
You mean you wouldn't shank someone for saying Piggy was only a so-so guitarist???

Yeah, sorry, my last post was meant to more support what you were intending to say. I think it came out wrong.

I have a lot of friends who are DIE-HARD Sox fans, so I get shit on if I miss watching one Cubs game. (IE - "Yea, just like a CUBS fan to miss the game", etc)

Well, there is a lot of $$$$$ in being passionate about bands, sports teams, etc.......

I would love to own shares of stock in Iron Maiden and KISS merchandise, for example....

No, of course not.
As I said, all in good fun!

I just brought that up as an example of how similar things happen in the music scene as well.

Though, if you recall, Joacim Cans from HammerFall got a beer bottle smashed across his face in Sweden by a die-hard black metal fan, simply for being in a "power metal" band....... That was messed up!

I would like to see a Phillies VS Devil Rays WORLD SERIES.
I have nothing but love and respect for Boston, but they have made it to the big dance enough these past few years.

Agreed - GO RAYS!

Oh, and btw, it's the RAYS now, not the Devil Rays - get it right, man!

 

[OPETH_DT]

GO RAYS! I've been a Yankees fan since childhood.

 

[FrostGiant]

At least the Brewers weren't the first team out of the playoffs. Cubs Suck. Bears suck.

 

[FrostGiant]

This guy is awesome!!!!

 

[Jasonic]

Dear lord!
Now I have to address a Cards fan AND a Brewer fan??????

At least the last time the Cubs were in the playoffs wasn't 1982!

And Pate - Cards fans take it in the Pujols!

I was at a wedding attended by Mr Steve Bartman.
He went to college with one of my wife's friends.
