Nice.  please beat the Cubs.  Lived in Chicago 42 years before moving here.  Sox management hates us fans.

I have never understood Cubs management.  They HAVE enough money to be a perinnial contender but choose not to.  I have Cubs friends and they just shrug.  As to White Sox fans - man it's a tough road for them now.

Theo did a decent job, 4 or 5 playoffs and a WS...which for the Cubs took 108 years.  I was on my way here in 2017 when they won it.  Saw the last inning at Incheon airport.  Woke up the next morning in Bangkok to Cubs news in Thai on the back page of the Times.

Got my wife into baseball so I have someone to watch with.  Kinda explained to her that if you were from somewhere with non major market teams you kinda needed to pick some big market teams if you wanted to see magic in October.

I dont understand Chicago in general.  For a city our size they dont put money into sports teams
