Your retarted
Ok, so let's clear up this one thing. I can only speak for myself, but personally, while I see the two Chicago teams heading in opposite directions, I believe the Cubs are overall better than the Sox. They still have an impressive lineup and dependable, if not really great, starting pitching. I think we have the better pen and possibly the better bench. At this point if I had to objectively choose as to who has the better 26 man roster, I'd reluctantly have to go with the Cubs. But I'll continue to argue that at least the arrow is pointing up with our team. Can't say the same thing for the Northsiders.I read your post to mean the Cubs were being sh*t on and the Sox are being exalted on high in general. Probably just lost in translation, but it is a follow up relative to all this "Cubs are going downhill...Sox are going uphill" articles and mentions I keep seeing/hearing.
Cubs have one of the highest payrolls in baseball and will continue to do so...so long as their management isn't completely inept, they will be consistently competitive. I would long for the Sox to be there. We need huge hits on most free agents (usually second tier ones) and prospects locked up for the long term before they outprice us. Furthermore, if the Cubs have a big fallout, they will rebound much faster than we would.
Life is unfair.
