To the casual fan, this is gonna be viewed as something special. To me and you, it will mean nothing. It's not a big deal and it isn't gonna invalidate the Cubs or the Sox. Anyone making a big deal out of this because it's stupid is just as bad as the people that will think that the trophy is a big deal. There's times to get bent out of shape about stupid things that happen around the CUbs, this isn't one of them.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree wtih Ruby here. It's really not that big of a deal. The only thing that will really change is there will probably be a built up a display case at each stadium now.

Do you think he's ever gotten anyone--aside from the malnourished Taiwanese boys in the crate in his basement--to address him as "The Kapman"?

I don't like the idea much because I think a trophy is a little amatuerish, but I agree, this is no big deal. I actually like the Cubs/Sox series. I hate losing to the Sox when that happens, but it makes for some more exciting games. You need that when it feels a like you've played the Pirates two dozen times and there's another series in Pittsburgh coming up. As long as there's not some sort of weird awards ceremony I think it's fine. It works in college sports, you just gotta be careful not to look childish with it in the pros.
I guess one test for the idea will be if the Yanks/Mets, Giants/A's, etc. also do this down the line...

Ruby's right. There's only one trophy I'd like to play the Sox far, but this isn't a big deal. The Astros & Rangers play for the Governors Cup or something like that.
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.

Josh Hamilton and Ron Washington's presence on the Rangers led to the drug war there, didn't you know?

Fat Bastard is an immensely obese, hardly able to walk (weighing a metric ton) gardener and henchman hailing from Scotland. His extreme size endows Fat Bastard with super-human strength as exhibited by his prowess in the Sumo ring from Goldmember. This makes him a formidable enemy for Austin Powers. Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his frequent flatulence, his vulgar and revolting bad manners and his unusual eating habits, which include taste for Human infants (which he calls "the other other white meat") or anything that looks like a baby, e.g. small people. Fat Bastard has been a regular at Cub games since the early 80's when he tried several times (unsuccessfully) to eat the visiting San Diego Chicken.

I don't care about a trophy, but I don't like the six game series. Especially when the Cards get to play the Royals.
I like you guys a lot.

I hate everything about the Cubs and Sox playing 6 games every year. This just cements it more. But it's all about revenue, which I get.
I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
