The reasons are myriad, but they, as a species, are off the scale annoying. And, as Butch has argued, there is no inherent baseball reason for the Cubs playing the Sox, other than money. They are not in our division. They are not in our league.

I am much happier when we beat the Cardinals, because those games matter. The only joy I take from a Sox win is that it's one less game I have to hear bullshit from Sox fans. If we sweep the Sox, I don't call Sox fans and rub it in their faces. I look at it as having survived another series with the assclowns of baseball.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So the core argument is still that Sox fans are unbearable dicks, right? Because it does matter when we beat the Sox, it counts as a win. It's like if the Bears beat the Jets. You'd rather beat the Packers so that a division foe gets a loss while you get a win, but the win is still a win. That's the inherent baseball reason. And money isn't the only thing driving it, fans want it. I get that not all fans do, but the vast majority of Cubs fans would be upset if the series went away, we can agree on that right?

Maybe I've just been lucky and had good experiences at Cubs/Sox games and you guys have had the opposite. But I know my friends in Chicago always go to those games or at least try to, a couple of them even go to the Cell.
