yeah

thats very true

its a pretty nice place, but i never lived there unfortunately

5/21/2006 4:45:28 PM

oh so you went to chicago for a weekend

i see now

5/21/2006 4:45:55 PM

there might have been more cubs fans in chicago during the sosa macgwire roids homerun race but not lately

you can only bring in so many fans when you're alky announcer dies and one of your fans pulls a bill buckner for the marlins and basically gets banned from the city...i'm sure you loved that shit with steve bartman

^oh so you've never been there...i see

WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOUR BANDWAGON TEAM AND ITS LACK OF RECENT TITLES TO ITS CITY RIVAL

5/21/2006 4:47:13 PM

you dont know what you are talking about

go to chicago, walk around, report back

5/21/2006 4:47:47 PM

i go there all the time

ate at lawrys on ontario last weekend, good shit

5/21/2006 4:48:19 PM

this is hilarious

btw white sox are world series champs

steve bartman is your daddy

holla

5/21/2006 4:48:25 PM

yeah bartman went to ND, so he's got that going for him

5/21/2006 4:49:04 PM

phishnlou is so owned in this thread

"I ate at this restaurant in downtown chicago the other day, THAT IS ALL THE PROOF YOU SHOULD NEED TO PROVE THAT I LIVED IN CHICAGO"

5/21/2006 4:50:21 PM

he's got privelages in florida, he's got that going for him

hey do you still think baseball is super popular nationally just because its got big markets in chicago, ny and boston or have you come to your senses about that yet too?

5/21/2006 4:50:26 PM

i dont really feel the need to prove that I was born/lived in chicago

get a life

5/21/2006 4:51:00 PM

boston's not that big of a market, but chicago/ny/la are

5/21/2006 4:51:32 PM

and those are about the only big mlb markets in the country

5/21/2006 4:51:58 PM

yeah?

5/21/2006 4:52:15 PM

i dont know if you're more pissed at the facts that:

White Sox > Cubs

or

NBA ratings > MLB ratings

either way its pretty funny

5/21/2006 4:52:45 PM

why do i care about ratings again?

boston is like the 9th biggest baseball market by the way

5/21/2006 4:53:10 PM

7th, try again

5/21/2006 4:53:50 PM

how should i know why you care about the ratings

but something really pisses you off about how shitty the cubs are

5/21/2006 4:53:52 PM

i was wrong

12th biggest market

5/21/2006 4:54:56 PM

Two homos trying to gang-bang someone because he likes the Cubs. Cute.

Some teams that win are often unappreciated in their respective cities.

For example- the Florida Marlins, in my city of Miami. Granted they suck now, but attendance was NEVER high.

And phishnlou is from Chicago.

5/21/2006 4:56:04 PM

boston, the city, is the 7th biggest market in MLB

5/21/2006 4:56:14 PM

oh look phishnlou's boyfriend came to defend him, how precious

you specifically said boston, the city

5/21/2006 4:58:19 PM

you specifically posted a link with city population and no mention of baseball television ratings

5/21/2006 4:58:56 PM

no, I said

so fucking owned
tell your boyfriend markie markie to stay the fuck out of this thread

5/21/2006 4:59:21 PM

i dont care

american idols gets a lot of ratings, big deal

i really dont care what people watch on tv

5/21/2006 4:59:22 PM

and the white sox dont care if they have 4 million fans and the cubs have 5 million fans

they are the champs

5/21/2006 4:59:46 PM

5:4 ratio?

not even close

5/21/2006 5:00:10 PM

wheres your link for that genius

or are you gonna post another irrelevant link like you did with city population

5/21/2006 5:00:47 PM

the cubs will continue to suck because people show up at the games to get drunk and socialize, not to watch baseball

when your tell sells out and blows at the same time, why the hell would the ownership change anything? idiot

5/21/2006 5:01:57 PM

the cubs are a lot more popular in chicago-land

its not fucking debatable

5/21/2006 5:02:46 PM

whitesox are world series champions, cubs are perpetual chokers

its not debatable

5/21/2006 5:03:10 PM

more popular amongst people who don't care about baseball--I'd agree to that

5/21/2006 5:03:35 PM

thats a ridiculous claim

5/21/2006 5:03:57 PM

I'm sure you know a lot about chicagoland, since that's where lake forest fits into the picture

5/21/2006 5:05:24 PM

all i know about lake forest is that the bears have a training facility there

5/21/2006 5:06:20 PM

what was this thread about? i forgot. boston and faggots?

5/21/2006 5:07:09 PM

baseball sucks until october anyways, who gives a shit.

5/21/2006 5:10:53 PM

baseball = greatest sport ever (ok, maybe 2nd to roman gladiator shit)

5/21/2006 5:20:50 PM

baseball = greatest sport until the nfl passed the shit out of it 10 years ago (ok maybe all the roids and $150 million contracts dropped it below basketball to 3rd)

5/21/2006 5:22:52 PM

i'd be a bigger nfl fan if they played more than 16 games a season.

wait, i got this, here's your response:

i'd be a bigger baseball fan if they played less than 162 games a season.

oh man, treetwista gonna flip

5/21/2006 5:29:54 PM

^^^i'd love to see as many football games as possible

but when theres only 16 every one is so important...losing 3 straight in a football season is devastating...in a baseball season, its something you can easily turn around because you have more time to

^^well i was wrong...its not that much better though...nfl pwns all anyway but we all know that

^oh no i was wrong, i actually admitted it unlike you who has been perpetually pwnt in this thread

5/21/2006 5:32:22 PM

if you are gonna give in that easy, then i just dont know

you could easily take the other side and name a ton of reasons why the nfl is more popular
