That's my point entirely. It's just funny when Cubs fans tell Sox fans to get over something that happened a whopping 10 years ago yet are allowed to get excited about things that haven't even happened yet.

I certainly started caring less after the Sox won the Series. The cross town rivalry was amazing in the late 90s.
On paper both teams have a good squad. The Cubs are obviously a young group and have lots of potential but it seems like I hear that all too often. The Sox have tons of potential but just cant seem to put it together. I still go to Sox games every year regardless of a winning or losing record. Was at the game on Monday vs the Angels. I still enjoy the shit talking between us and the cubs fans, its all in fun.
Did I say they have? Nice strawman. Cubs have a far better chance of making the playoffs this year and in the future with the team and system they have in place vs. the Sox.
Based on what exactly? 100 games into a season and absolutely nothing accomplished? And I'm grasping for straws. :rollpicard:
oh I don't know, the fact that they are IN a playoff spot right now by 4.5 games, 16 games over .500, have the 4th best record in the league right now, are playing totally lights out ball and just SWEPT 4 games from the defending WS champion Giants who are their closest competition for a playoff spot.
The Sox on the other hand are 1 game away from last place in their division, 4 games under .500, have 6 teams ahead of them in the wild card race all fighting for 2 spots and besides the last two games, have fared horribly against over .500 teams as of late.
Do you even watch baseball?
Plus the Cubs have a ridiculous core of young players that should be outstanding for years to come 
Once they move Castro in the off-season, slide Addison over to short (dude has got fucking range) and hopefully get Baez to actually start hitting the ball in the majors and throw him in at 2nd, they've got a pretty stacked infield, with the oldest guy being Rizzo, and he's only 26.
Cubs are missing another solid pitcher and some bullpen help, but once these younger guys have some experience under their belts, watch out.

You do realize we just swept the Angels...... We also won the series against the amazing Cubs. I'm not saying that the sox are doing oh so great this year but they are far from a last place team.
Hard to shit on the Cubs now, they're the hottest team in baseball. Their offense really hasn't come alive until the last couple of months. Lester is finally pitching like we paid him to and Arrieta has been lights out. Sucks that the Cubs are in such a tough division...they'd be first place in every other division save the the AL Central. Cubs started off rocky this year, but have been a ton of fun to watch the past couple months

I didn't mean record wise . I'm talking about on paper when you look at the team as a whole and what they can do as opposed to what they have done . Obviously on paper doesn't mean jack shit... I'm just saying
Maybe 2nd to last
