	USATODAY.com - Cubs-Sox rivalry extends to the minors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Chicago White Sox were the talk of their town during spring training.
		So when the Sox boast they have Garland and Buehrle and much more where that came from, the Cubs can say we have Prior and Wood and two or more are coming.
		Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee is a big league MVP candidate this season.

	White Sox-Cubs rivalry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the time the White Sox came to town, the Cubs' home field was West Side Park, in an older section of the city which is now the realm of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks.
		The recent (2005) success of the White Sox, coupled with age-related problems with Wrigley, and the presumed expiration of the lease in 2013, raise the possibility of a "me too" situation on the North Side eventually, in yet another chapter of the "facilities" side of the rivalry.
		The Cubs had a 2 games to 1 lead over the Detroit Tigers in the 1945 World Series, when on October 6, 1945, Cubs fan and local tavern owner Billy Sianis was prevented from reaching his seat because he was accompanied by his pet billy goat.

	Chicago White Sox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the AL's eight charter franchises, the White Sox dominated play during the early 20th century, winning 5 of the first 19 league pennants; but the team's fortunes dropped precipitously after it became involved in what is debatably the greatest scandal in the history of the sport.
		The Sox had a brief resurgence in 1972, with slugger Dick Allen winning the MVP award; but injuries, especially to popular third baseman Bill Melton, took their toll and the team finished 5 1/2 games behind Oakland, the eventual world champion.
		The Chicago Cubs are the crosstown rivals of the White Sox, although the nature of the rivalry is unique; with the exception of the 1906 World Series, in which the White Sox upset the heavily favored Cubs, the teams never met in an official game until 1997, when interleague play was introduced.

	Baseball Toaster : Cub Town : Worst Case Scenario
		I came to town for graduate school in 1993 which was, oddly enough, a year when the White Sox made the playoffs, and I actually enjoyed the fact that they were in it, rooting for them all the way.
		True, the White Sox would never have usurped the Cubs' primary place in my affections, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have been a close second.
		All I know is, the White Sox are in the World Series, and while I'd like to be happy for them and their fans, I simply can't be.

	Is baseball rivalry going soft?
		Cubs fans outnumber Sox fans by more than two to one in the Chicago area, according to a CBS 2-Chicago Sun-Times Poll.

		Now it's up to Sox fans to decide whether they want to be insufferable and gloat to their Cub fan neighbors and friends, or whether they want to just savor and enjoy the fact that the Sox are the World Champions.
		Sox fans seem to hate the Cubs and their fans.
		Maybe Sox fans are hoping that this fantastic performance by their team will convert some Cub fans.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Cubs-White Sox rivalry lights up the town
		It was 1917 and, with that pesky Babe Ruth still playing for Boston, the White Sox were one of the greatest powerhouses the American League had ever seen.
		The one thing that has to be happen is this: An interleague series in which both the Cubs and the White Sox arrive with winning records, if not simultaneously in first place.
		But the Cubs have outdrawn the Sox nine years in a row, even though the White Sox had better records in six of those seasons.

		Cubs first-round draft pick Josh Vitters was signed minutes before the deadline Wednesday night, agreeing to a $3.2 million bonus.
		The rivalry between the Cubs and the New York Mets became one of the most heated in baseball in 1969, and it has stayed that way for more than 25 years.
		The Cubs scored six two-out runs in the third inning off Mets starter John Maine and then coasted the rest of the afternoon as Ted Lilly did most of the heavy lifting.

		The Cubs last participated in the World Series in 1945 and last won it in 1908 ; the White Sox' last AmericanLeague championship was in 1959, and their last World Series crown came in 1917.
		The Cubs are closely associated with Chicago, in part because of their historic ballpark, Wrigley Field.
		The Cubs are in a upscale neighborhoodknown as Wrigleyville, while the Sox are in Bridgeport, a working-class neighborhood.

	Exile in Wrigleyville: Pick a lane already (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		At the heart of the Cubs vs. White Sox matter is the distinctive psychology of a lopsided rivalry.
		The ultimate disadvantage in a rivalry rests with the fans who care the most about it, because they tend to be the fans whose team is on the short end of the stick.
		Also, the woebegone attendance figures of the White Sox points to the fact that their fanbase is not as dedicated or loyal as they'd like to think they are; it's hard to tout the baseball acumen of your fans when they aren't even bothering to show up at the ballpark in great numbers.

	BIG Ideas by Executive Coach David Facer
		Rivalries are pointless when they divide people into groups.
		The most useful thing about the Chicago White Sox vs. Cubs rivalry is that many Cubs fans quickly turned to supporting their 'cross-city rivals when the White Sox made the World Series.
		I wonder what would happen when the salesperson we are in a rivalry with (maybe a one-sided rivalry?) is asked to share some information about how she does it so well.

		The White Sox of 2005 was a great team, a very likeable team with a likeable group of guys, and they were a fun team to watch.
		And as far as the Cubs-Sox rivalry, it is fun and all, but it shouldn't be the number one for Cubs fans.
		The White Sox aren't in the Cub's division, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Houston Astros, those are the teams that I hate.

		White Sox closer Bobby Jenks was ruled out of Tuesday night's game because of a "tweaked" right ankle, according to a team spokesman.
		In the end, White Sox closer Bobby Jenks, still only 26, has gone from baseball survivor to savior, surely the subject of a TV movie if the story weren't so sappy.
		The Sox have come up with another idea but not a firm solution to solidifying their rotation.

		Pierzynski barreled over Barrett, who got up, grabbed the White Sox catcher and punched him, starting a bench-clearing brawl in the second inning that led to four ejections Saturday during the second inning of the White Sox's 7-0 victory.
		Then, the Cubs catcher got up and grabbed Pierzynski before landing a right to the left side of his face.

	bread and cheese for 2005 March
		The Cubs play on the North Side in Wrigley Field, the second-oldest (by 2 years to the Red Sox Fenway Park in Boston) ballpark in Major League Baseball.
		But I think the ugly side to the Cubs/Sox rivalry is really a symptom of a larger inequality -- and the stigmas associated with both teams (depending on what side you're on) won't change until the underlying inequalities do.
		Sox Park by comparison is a gigantic, ugly, concrete monstrosity out of the 1990s.

		Him: Well the Sox still have the best record in baseball and its because of the Cubs fans and the Tribune that no one notices.
		It’s because the Sox as an organization are obsessed with a team that is not even in the same league and that mentality filters down to the fans.
		The Sox do have the best record in baseball….and yet all they do is bitch about the Cubs.

		When I saw the final out today, sealing a trip for the White Sox to the World Series, and seeing Sox fans going crazy with joy and smiles in celebration, I realized that they too, like Cubs and Cubs fans, are all Chicagoans.
		Cubs or Sox, they may be from the other team, and they don't represent our team, but damnit, they both come from and represent Chicago.
		In Chicago's society, you can't be both a Cubs fan and a Sox fan, lest you be labeled a traitor -- It's either one or the other.

	Cubs have Wrigleyville; Sox need Cellville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The irony Sox fans should be aware of is that as far as comfort goes, the eternally sold-out Wrigley Field scores maybe a 2 on a 10-point scale, while U.S. Cellular gets about a 7.
		No, the second-class status of the Sox is about subtleties such as Tuscany Restaurant being a foul ball from Wrigley's north end, and Bernie's being a mere stagger away, and the Cubby Bear and Murphy's and Gingerman Tavern and on and on.
		It is also about demographics of neighborhoods, publicity and ownership, with Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf still being perceived as a New York carpetbagger nearly a quarter-century after he bought the team, and Tribune Co. chairman, president and CEO Dennis FitzSimons being perceived as...

		CHICAGO -- Even with the Chicago White Sox's remarkable World Series sweep of the Houston Astros, ending the Black Sox curse of 1919, we cannot say that a chapter of infamy is over.
		Besides, many Cubs fans today are from the suburbs, brought in by buses.
		And it's true that compared with the Cubs, with their hallowed Wrigley Field, the White Sox have always played in a dump.

	The View From The Bleachers
		Also, while I think that the Sox are counting on Frank Thomas to bolster the lineup and guys like Konerko and Dye to improve their performances, their pitching is likely to slump at some point, and it'd be nice to have a cushion when that happens.
		If the Cubs are embarrassed at home by their in-city rivals, Baker's job is going to be in serious jeopardy.
		However, when the Cubs are locked up with the White Sox for their 2nd series, the Cards will be playing Tampa Bay, who we miss this year.

		one thing i've also noticed this year; now that the cubs are so good on paper and on a little hot streak, cub fans who normally dismiss the inter-city series, and the sox altogether - are all hopped up and excited for this series and what they predict will be a cubbie win....
		Just remember, the Cardinals are playing the last-place Royals while the Cubs have to play in a playoff-like atmosphere against a team that needs/wants to win as much as they do.
		Naturally Pat Sajak (also from Joliet) had to probe deeper when this guy volunteered that he was a big Cubs fan, and also liked the Bulls, Bears, and Hawks.

		The writing is excellent, but non-Cubs fans or casual baseball fans might not appreciate the nuances in the same way that a die-hard fan would.
		The book is part recap of the Cubs' 2004 season, part history of the Cubs and being a Cubs fan.
