Cubs-hating Sox fans? Grow up

October 3, 2007
BY JAY MARIOTTI Sun-Times Columnist
I'm asking White Sox fans to do the city a favor. I'd like you to stop picking fights with Cubs fans, stop rooting so bitterly against the Cubs, appreciate your World Series championship and please shut up.

Honestly, I think Sox fans might be more passionate about the Cubs losing than when their own team wins. That is weird, bizarre and not cool. When the Sox won two years ago, I don't recall many Cubs fans holding grudges about it. They were mad at their own team and management, an approach that should be adopted by Sox fans who've watched their general manager and manager screw up a good thing.

I used to add up the collective years without a World Series title on both sides of town, then use the big, ugly number in columns. If the Sox can break an 88-year drought and the Cubs can end a 99-year drought in a matter of two years, that will the local sports equivalent of coming back from the Great Chicago Fire. I'm not saying Sox fans should be belting out ``Go Cubs Go'' in South Side bars.

But don't be vicious haters. There's a lot more to despise in the world than the concept of the Cubs as champions.

This guy is an idiot.

Cubs fans hate the Sox and Sox fans hate the Cubs. In Chicago - you're either one or the other. You are not happy when the "other" team wins. Ever. Fact of life.

There were several Sox fans in attendance both nights (NLDS at Chase) - cheering for the D-Backs !! :thumbup:

Girl sitting next to us was wearing all White Sox gear with buttons on her hat that said "Steve Bartman Fan Club".

Gotta love sibling rivalries.. And tools outside of the family who tell you to break them up.

Please.. The White Sox got their World Series ring.. They exercised their own curse.. Why should they give a rat's ass enough to cheer for the Cubs?

Mariottoi spews so much crap about the White Sox during the season that he should just take his own advice and shut up.

I don't know one person (including myself) that would love to force a submission and swan dive this piece of trash.

Jerry Reinsdorf doesn't allow him to enter U.S. Cellular Field anymore.....he barred him from the stadium grounds.

His hate stems from countless fueds between him and Reinsdorf

the guy is a first rate snapperhead

Desert island. Jay Mariotti. Woody Page. You. Gun. One bullet. You cant shoot yourself.


I shoot Woody...then when Mariotti is all weepy because his bff is dead and he can't see because his mascara is running all over his eyes, I pummell him to death with the butt of the gun. Remember, guns and bullets don't kill people...people do. Just because my bullet is gone doesn't mean my gun is no longer a weapon.

Yes, I've thought this scenario through.

Since you are a certified expert, you should gunbutt both, and save the bullet for a bird or a fish.

No, I'd rather shoot Woody right away before he could open his big fat yapper. He could probably say "ow, you're killing me" in such a way I would cringe and drop the gun.

That was perilously close to the second coffeeupthenose of the week.
