Between starting pitching and now Thome in the line up the Sox' chances to win it all in '06 are probably as good as the Cubs' chances in '06 through '15 combined. Maybe the Cubs need a second team doctor just for their pitchers. Don't get me wrong, since the Sox won and got something of a city-wide group hug I'd like to see the Cubs do well also, but I'm not gonna hold my breath, the Cards and Astros won't be easily passed for now. (As an aside: Is that sack of whitey-one-bites empty already?)

Hey Mikey,

Don't be hatin' on the Cubs fans dude. It is still spring training so they are in their annual period of hope that usually lasts until, oh, April 15th or so.

As for me, I'll continue to cheer for my Cardinals as their success over the years far outpaces the Cubs and even the ChiSox (except for the more recent title just last year).

the sox are going to be contenders for the next three years at least. we have all six current pitchers signed through 2007 and lance broadway, ray liotta and charlie haeger in the minors. someday the cubs will actually see that wood and prior are busts.

Oh Duder

How sad is it that the Sox had the best record all year and could not sell out every game??? Very sad!

Not to mention, I can go the Cubs game without having to feel like I am in Oakland at a Raiders game.

Bwaaaa haaa haaaaa.......
