Welcome to the White Sox Chirpers

The Cubs don't want any part of the Sox right now.
-heard on WSCR, Mike North, this morning.
And the chirping begins. It's been a while, as the Sox struggled to stay above .500, apparently the line of demarcation is their ascendence to 10 games above the .500 mark. Congrats, Sox Fans, it's rareified air. Why can't you just enjoy it?

I know, because you're a White Sox fan. You get ahead in a bad division, (Yes, the division is bad. Let's all quit being stunned), made worse by injuries to your key rivals, and the first thing you do, take a shot at the Cubs.

To be frank, you would be in Third Place in our division, and you are exactly the type of flawed, puffed up team that we have made meals of this season. How about those Diamondbacks, they were on exactly the kind of roll you are on right now when they came to town, to be swept.

Watching a bare amount of Sox games, the broadcasts are so bad I'm happy each day I don't have to watch, the Sox are a very flawed team. They would lose a game of pickle to a Pony League team, for chrissakes. Let's talk about that Triple Steal the White Sox allowed, or the tirade your manager pulled off last week.

All of these Barbs have been mostly withheld, but do not think I and my fellow Cub fans are incapable of recognizing what is a clearly inferior team on the South Side this year. You are the Brewers, with worse defense and slightly better pitching. The White Sox do not scare me. I truly hope that they make the playoffs, and we can decide who is truly better the right way this year, in the World Series.

The Cubs know all about winning bad divisions -- 85 games apparently makes a division winner in the NL Central.

Sox have the ring and the all-time interleague record. I don't know how it can be argued that the Cubs are a better model of winning anything -- except perhaps a "hottest fan contest".
