Are the White Sox more popular than the Cubs?

Well I can tell you, that as a Red Sox fan, that the entire country finds Cubs fans annoying. I sometimes visit Chicago on business, and White Sox games are usually really fun to go to. I went to a Cubs game once and I felt unwelcome. I'm black, and when I sat in the bleachers, everytime the white yuppies would ask me things like how does ghetto trash afford tickets. Or they would say things like "hey Wrigley doesn't serve fried chicken you know". Cubs fans are generally racist and elitist assholes like the Yanks fans.\n\nOh and to the Tigers fan- way to to blow it versus a crappy NL team. The Tigers just embarassed the AL, pretty much how the Cubs are an embarassment to sports in general.

Unfortunatly the Red Sox will be behind the White Sox when the series comes.  \n\nThe final standing will have the Angels, White Sox, Tiger and Yankees in the AL playoffs.\n\nMets, Astros, Cardinals, Some loser west coast team in the NL.\n\nWhite Sox v. either Mets or Astros in series: if Mets, mets win if Astros White Sox win again.\n\nIf injuries stop CUBS! :-)

Yes. Like the BoSox and White Sox. The Cubs are due! I say defy all logic. The Cubs will win in 2006.

Easy its the Cubs. Look at the White Sox they have had more issues than the Cubs(Frank Thomas issues). White Sox fans are very hostile compared to Cub fans. About the World Series last year that was pure dumb luck they won.

The Cubs have a better pitching staff when healthy with Carlos Zambrano, Kerry Wood, Greg Maddux and Mark Prior leading the way. While the Red Soxs have better hitters with good hitters such as Mike Lowell, Manny Ramirez, Trot Nixon and David Ortiz. The Red Soxs could out hit the Cubs and their pitching could keep it close enough to beat the Cubs.

Even though I am a Tigers fan and can vaguely remember the last time the Tigers were a legit team (1987, lost in ALCS to the Twins), I would venture to say that the White Sox will prevail in the Central.  Not that any of this will stop me from cheering for the Tigers this year and every other year, just the logic of White Sox having a little better overall talent.  But the Tigers have shown a tremendous amount of heart this year which I cant remember a Tigers team coming back and not quitting like this one.

I'm going to go against the grain and say the Cubs.  But hear me out.  They are in the NL Central... which, I believe, is the toughest division in the MLB.  With the dominance of the Cardinals and the Astros, the Cubs are always picked to at least contend for the Wild Card.  Meanwhile... their Pitching staff.. which is supposed to be their strong suit... is horrible.  Remember, Carlos Zambrano and Greg Maddux are supposed to be their number three and four starters.  Kerry Wood is definitely the most over rated player in baseball, with Mark Prior a close second or third.  Add the resurgence of the Sox, and you have the most overrated team in the MLB.

I think most people respect Babe Ruth more than Hank Aaron.  Not only because Ruth is white, but he is a truly monster.  He hit far homeruns, he produces homeruns very frequently (only McGuire and Bonds have better at-bat ratio, but you know...).  He was even a great pitcher.  Anyway, Babe Ruth is a special player, special in many ways.  Ask people about greatest hitter in the history, Babe Ruth would get most of the votes.  Hank Aaron probably would get less votes than Willy Mays, or Micky Mentles.

I think that the 1919 Chicago White Sox were the best team ever.  They had the line-up, pitching, and chemistry to win the series, they just took money to lose it, thus breaking up the dynasty.  Also check out the movie Eight Men Out.  That depicts this story very well.

As a die hard WHITE SOX fan I am hoping that they DO!  After our tremendous year last year and KNOWING what it is like to live in a town that has two teams but the other ALWAYS get the atttention (but for you at least the Yankees win  it still baffels me cuz the Cubs suck) I am rooting for them all the way!!   If the White Sox don't make it (? and I usually root for AL) and the METS do, I want you to know that there will be at least one person in Chicago that will be supporting them.  Screw the Yankees and Red Sox!  If you are a Mets fan -  God you have to be SICK AND TIRED of them!!!!!!!!!!!  Good luck!

Nobody goes 98 years without winning? The cubs do\n\nThe White Sox and Red Sox were cursed, all they did was win, 4-0 in the world series both of this, not too hard.\n\nThe problem with the Cubs - they field poor teams in a tough division without a culture of winning\n\nThe problem is the fans and the players are in a culture that does not encourage winning, does not foster winning. They need to change the attitude of all the fans, and the organisation\n\nCurse? Funny, but just silly.

I love the Cubs, my dad was a Cub fan, he would let me skip school to go to Wrigley and I do that now for my kids. There is more to being a Cub fan than winning, I am just happy when they score, there is something about the Cubs, Wrigley Field, Wrigleyville, everyone is always friendly, I grew up watching the Cubs, and they inspired me to play softball. There is no other park like Wrigley(well I have heard Fenway is comparable but have not made it there yet soon i hope though) The Bleacher Bums, the hot dogs, the Beer, I do miss Harry singing and Marla the ball girl I so wanted to be her when I was younger. It has been 34 years and I have and always will stick by my Cubs. No matter what they play hard and are good to their fans! Wrigley is always a sell out win or lose. Anyone that knows me knows I am a Cubs fan, I wear my believe bracelet all year round. I will bleed Cubbie blue til the day I die, I am still waiting for season tickets been waiting for 4 years so far, even before the 2003 season.

I think it's highly possible.  Not only Cubs are playing well this season, Marlins is also the one of worst teams in MLB right now.
