Gotta agree with you Hett on the bandwagon Sox fans. I am sure the Cubs fans will seem the same way if we ever win another series too.

there are a lot of bandwagon Chicago fans. People hop back and forth between the cubs and the sox as one is doing better than the other.

But then there's the real Cubs fans. Arguably the best fans in baseball.

I was actually talking about the Red Sox fans...just too clairfy. I agree though. Most Cubs fans (that I have met and considered actual CUbs fans) are great. But as much as I hate to admit it, Cardinal fans are pretty awesome too.

Cards fans are the best. It just seems that, as a whole, the Cubs' fans are rowdy and obnoxious. It may not be entirely true, just what it seems like from St. Louis.

I don't speak form experience, but I imagine the road fans for the Cubs are completely different then the home town fans. I bet that most of the road fans are not the biggest fans and just are obnoxious fans looking to get drunk at a baseball stadium.

I can't wait to go to Chicago to see my Cubbies play at Wrigley. I just wish that Chicago was near a beach so I could make that trip all the time. Two of my favorite things.

Near a beach?

Rays in the playoffs...wow, I never thought I'd say that. There is a chance the sun doesn't come up tomorrow morning, so just be prepared for that.

I should have specified, Tropical Location. I need warm weather and waters. I am southern, man. I can't be hanging out around the Great Lakes, too cold up there.

Hett...I never thought the Cubs and the Rays would be the best teams in each of their leagues. That is crazier then anything. Clinched on the same night. If the two of us match-up in the Series, I will be happy with whoever wins. The Rays are my AL team. I lived in Orlando for a stint and became a fan of theirs. Not to mention it would be hard not to enjoy seeing two lovable losers in the series.

Rays play Thursday against the White Sox @ 2:30pm. I hate Guillen, I really want to beat him.

[ZZtigerZZ81]

I would not be surprised to see the Rays sweep the Sox because of all the energy and emotion the Sox have used the last few days. This is either going to be a quick win for the Rays (because they have been a better team all year anyway) or a 5-game series they struglle in because of post-season experience issues.

Cubs tonight at 6:30 and I think the Angels play after that. I will be splitting time with that and some TV shows that I usually watch.

i predict the redsox beat the angels in 4 games, and i think the whitesox will beat the rays in 5 games...then the redsox will beat the whitesox in 5 games and then will sweep the cubs in the world series.
