Default Cubs vs. White Sox

Are you a Cubs fan or a White Sox Fan??
I was at a fund raiser and there was a silent auction. This was sponsored by Fox and Friends at 7 Bridges in Lisle for various animal charities.

I placed a bid on a home made Cubs Bean Bag toss game. Solid wood both pieces interlock for transporting. Very high quality well made, can not buy in a store. I was the 5th bidder and placed a bid for $282. I went back a 1/2 hour later and I was out bid.
Since this was a charity I placed my $282. bid on the identical White Sox Bean Bag Toss Game. Which I was the only bidder.

At the end of the dinner they anounced all the winners.
I won the White Sox Bean Bag Game with a bid of $282. only bidder
The Cubs Bean Bag Game winning bid, $1800.

At least the 1800.00 is tax deductible...

I would rather punch the balls off myself than be a Cubs fan. It's guaranteed that all Cubs fans wil be disappointed and let down by their beloved cubbies this year. It always happens.

I have already heard the Cub fans saying this is the year. They won today. The BS is starting.

That pretty much sums up the values of the teams, their fans, their ball parks and the neighborhoods where they are located.

Cub fans are respectable, employed and attractive and the team plays in a great neighborhood. Sox fans are well, not. Especially Rob.
