That's ODD :o

I remember when the Cubs were playing the Braves the Sox fans were rooting for the Braves but when the Cubs beat them they were all saying "It be nice if someone from Chicago won the WS" .

I guess it all depends on where you live :yes:

Last year sucked for Cubs fans but the best thing that happened was when i bought a T-Shirt that said White Sux :woot:

@ LRoling - taking the train to the game is the way to go :yes: Driving in traffic & finding parking is horrible. Who knows, i may of seen you a thousand times already :shifty:

Although sometimes i wish i would be a Sux fan, no problem finding tickets, cheap tickets, and plenty of parking :D

I don't remember that at all. What I remember is Sox fans openly rooting against the Cubs and for the Braves, then openly rooting against the Cubs and for the Marlins.

I remember reading an article about a Sox fan bar owner who was giving away a free round of beer whenever the Marlins hit a HR. After reading that, I was rooting sooooooooo hard for a 23-21 Cubs victory with the Marlins hitting like 15 HR but alas it wasn't so.

The thing that sucks the most about the "new" Cub fans is that it makes getting tickets soo much harder. Just before they've gotten on their current run of play tickets were always there the day of game and from scalpers for a "fair" price. Now, everything is sold out before opening day and don't even try to find tickets to Cubs-Sox (Red or White) or a late season Cubs-Cards game unless you're willing to mortgage part of your house or take in a renter.

White Sox fan all my life. I'm not a fight starter over the white sox v cubs thing, but I hate the cubs. Which even most cubs fans understand. It's just how baseball is in Chicago. Actually watching the Brewers come back in the ninth and take a 6-3 lead in the 12th over the cubs as we speak! But honestly to each his/her own.

Played baseball my whole life as well all the way up through High School and even played for a few traveling teams and played and won an AAU tournament in Illinois. Sadly I was offered a baseball Scholarship to a DII school in Illinois but the college I went to gave me similar money for academics and was a better school overall. When I was little (I think around 13) Ozzie Guillen hurt his knee and and his sons played in the district I played in so he would come to the games and hang out with the families. It was pretty cool.

ONly thing I really hate about the cubs is how rich the tribune company is and they don't put that money they make back into the team. Also the scalping the cubs do for their OWN TICKETS!!!!!!!!!

lol, i hated him too. you can't call yourself an athlete when you are that fat.

well, so far, starting out just like last year. wood/prior/zambrano/maddux will pitch a perfect game, and then the bullpen will blow it.

[sigh]....

maybe they'll think twice about leaving early now :p

I'm usually one of the last to leave the games unless i go with my 4 year old son, i usually leave end of 8th/top of 9th so i dont have to wait an hour to get on the red line with him

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By s0nic69 · Posted

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop 'Google Chrome' is downloading without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
