Although I said I'm not a Cub hater, there has always been MANY guys on their team that I have despised from Sammy to Dusty to Barrett to Prior. I have to admit though, the 2008 Cubs are a VERY easy team to like and cheer for. Lou is highly entertaining and a crazy old man. There are lots of players from their farm system contributing (Soto and Theriot in particular) who are just good baseball players and hard to dislike. Hell, the only guy I don't like on the team is Howry right now. Don't get me wrong I'll always be a Sox fan, but it's been really nice this year to enjoy watching both teams play and win. Wish it happened in this city more often and that the petty bickering and jabs between fans would go away.
I agree with the slight differences of disliking Soriano and Zambrano. Going back years I have never liked them and never will. The rest of the team, like you say, is hard to dislike.

These games were no more important than any other ones. It just felt better overall to see shit on the face of the foolish white sox fans that said before hand that the Soxs were gonna sweep the Cubs
Wow you're a fool. The whole purpose of this post was to get away from the petty childish crap you just wrote above. Be gone moron.
Dont bother with Chris in Joliet, when his wife isnt in leather straps whipping his ass, he is talking shit about the Sox like there is no tomorrow. His word means absolutely zero here. Same with Elmhurst Steve. I agree with you this is a likeable, great Cubs team I will continue to root for DESPITE the asshole, insecure Cubs fans that feel a need to validate their success by comparing them to the Sox.
