I'd like to think so, but I lost all hope after the 2003 playoffs. I'm not even as into baseball as I used to be, but that totally shattered my heart.

I will never root for the Sox! Too many bad memories of Sox fans gloating everytime the Cubs choked...

I think it's kinda hard for a lot of people living outside of Chicago to understand that most Cubs fans can't stand the Sox, and vice versa. Just the way it's always been. I don't know if other cities with 2 teams are like that? Not sure if Mets fans hate the Yankess and vice versa?

My own family is split down the middle. In fact, I'm surprised I haven't gotten a call from my dad yet, asking what the Cubs did yesterday! My husband has already gotten about 7 such calls from friends who are Sox fans.
