You've completely missed where I've directed my rage in this thread, KB. But that's OK.
Let me try and make it a little more plain...
It's no secret that I dislike the White Sox. But I've never claimed you have to hate the Sox to be a true Cubs fan. Never.
My problem with all the Buehrle love is that he's a fucking dick about the Cubs. He isn't a "class act" as many have stated. He accused Greg Maddux of throwing spitballs. He has talked shit about Cubs fans and Wrigley Field. And he's been pretty outspoken about disliking the Cubs (he grew up a Cardinals fan, after all).
Not every White Sock is like that. Do you ever hear Jermaine Dye say that kind of stuff? How about Jim Thome? Nope.
If Jose Contreras (who, as far as I know, has never trashed the Cubs) threw a perfect game, I still wouldn't get all jazzed about it, but I could at least say that it's kind of cool that I witnessed history or whatever. But it wasn't Contreras who did it. It was Buehrle.
Buehrle = Cubs-hating douchebag
Contreras = just a random Sox pitcher that I don't give much of a shit about
See the difference?
