Anyhow, I'm not a die-hard fan either way. I don't understand why people get so passionately anti-one or the other. The only reason I stopped going to Sox games is because I hate new Comisky.
Personally I'm not a horticulturist so I don't know what it takes to kill a stripe of ivy.
I mostly get passionate about the anti thing because of they way cubs fans have always been. every single cubs fan I have ever know has always given me crap for being a sox fan. sure, we don't have a beautiful comiskey park, but I like it. it is where my team plays. and because of the black sox of 1919 (I was not yet even thought of.....) etc etc.
but even that doesn't get me riled up. it is the comments like what was placed inthe paper that shows the unbelieveable crap that both the sox organization and the fans get when it comes to the press.
Comiskey park is a beautiful place. no one liked it because it was compared to wrigley. then everyone said it "looked likea shopping mall", not a ballpark. well, comiskey was in dire need to be re-built, and they just happened to be one of the first of the MLB parks to do so. Unfortuantly, they didn't do it to the former expectations of what a ball park should be, but to the new generation of kids coming into the ballparks. No one gives crap to the new stadium in Milwalkee, even though it looks just like comiskey is archetechure designs.
As long as they have a place to play, I will forever love my team and my stadium.
*stepping down of the soap box*
and I am done with this conversation. ok, so it is one sided...but I am done now.
ps-> erika, none of this was directed at you. I have been needing to vent to someone, and my boyfriend is a cubs fan....so I can't vent to him.
