There will be riots and pure destruction on the southside. Keep those losers in their place. We don’t want ‘em!

Then again they get to see what its like to be a winner in Chicago for a change. You know with the giant banner that says “HOME OF THE 2005 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION CHICAGO WHITE SOX” (just in case they forget). Plus, the championship flag and the trophy in house.

So I guess it makes sense that the Rays move to Miami and become the Gators.

As a Cardinals fan, I echo the sentiment and nominate this for Cubs insult of the year.

That’s a joke of course. The Cell will routinely be filled up if the Cubs put a marginally talented team on the field nearly every home game. This is and will always be a Cubs town, despite anythig the Sox do…let’s be real here people! The Cubs fans fill up Cincinnati, Milwaukee, half of St. Louis, Houston, Arizona…I think they can routinely fill up the park on 35th without an issue.

Its effects are insidious, but you’ll know it’s spreading when the PhD’s at the University of Chicago start forgetting who they are and begin addressing each other as “Mister.”

But obviously they will need a new playoff system that would go:

A1-N4 N1-A4
A2-N3 N2-A3

This way two NL teams could play each other.
