These stereotypes about Cubs fans are so fresh! Great material, guys. That jab about cell phones? Ouch! I wouldn't want to be a Cubs fan right now! Because it's well known that those are the only people in America who use those gadgets.

Mike: Instead of hating a playa, create your own game. A Real Fan, I hear you dog. I've been a die hard fan for four years since graduating from The Ohio State University. These so-called new fans bother me too. Unless if they're hot chicks. I am not cool with you on cell phones. It's important to take cell calls so people can let you know you're on TV. I use my cell to give beddies the 411 on where to meet The Bradster after the game.

Brad's comment made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. I really hope it was a joke. People who talk like that don't type like that too do they?

I can't wait to talk loudly on my cell phone the whole game, stand up to go to the bathroom while they play is going on, and fork over $42 dollars for a bleacher seat that used to cost $6 fifteen years ago, all while claiming die hard fan status despite the fact I moved here six weeks ago from Big Ten U.

This should have said WRIGLEY tickets go on sale, because I very rarely encounter any fans of baseball in that urine drenched ballpark.

Now that comment sounds inferiority-complex-free. Shouting "NORTHSIDE CHICAGOIST", however doesn't. I see your point now. Thanks. And I agree.

I have no inferiority complex at all. I actually believe Wrigley is the nicest ball park and enjoy the experience. I just feel that to be a proper publication and you're reporting an event about ticket sales on one major baseball team you should report when tickets go on sales on the other. I noticed other blogs have done this.

Ha ha I laugh at Sox fans' insecurity. I thought the World Series win would be enough to abolish this inferiority complex of sorts, but it's becoming obvious it wasn't.

John, you must be a new reader :) If you've read this site for any length of time, you'd see that I'm a die-hard Sox fan -- usually I take flak for my anti-Cubs sentiments, so this was a first. There were just other things last week and I didn't have a chance to post on Sox ticket sales. And it all reality, it's not the same in terms of the mad rush to get tickets. Even last night, there were still tickets for Sox-Yanks and most of the other big name teams coming to the Cell. There just isn't the concert-like mad rush for tickets like there is for the Cubs.

Dude, '07 at Wrigley is going to be slammin! I'm gonna watch the Cubbies take the World Series with the hottest ladies of the North Side along for the ride. See you at Murph's, bro!

I'll tell you one ****ing thing, I hope we get hotter than **** just to stuff up those 3 thousand mother ****ing fans who show up. They don't even work, Eighty-five percent of the world is working, the rest of them show up here. It's playground for those country ****suckers.

Thank you for not once mentioning when White Sox tickets go on sale so I don't have to worry about extra competition. It also shows how narrow minded this site really is. You should change your name to NORTH SIDE CHICAGOIST since there seems to be no interest in covering news from the south side except the top crime headlines. If I hear one more Cubs fan complain about why ownership doesn't do enough to bring a winning team to the north side, it's because they don't have to. They will always have 3 million clueless people who throw their money at a losing team regardless of the outcome and will enjoy the world's largest beer garden. What a great business model and the Tribune would be fools to sell.
