lol what do you have to say now? The Cubs have already clinched the division while your precious white sux are still in a dog fight with the twins for the AL central. Maybe you guys should quit obsessing over the cubs for once and worry about the team that might knock you out of the top spot in the central.
GO CUBS!!!
GO TWINS!!!

The White Sox sure made the entire Cubs organaization its BITCH this past weekend. How's that slump feeling, Cubbies? Losing 9 out of the last 13 games and being swept by the superior Chicago baseball club that has the best pitching and bullpen in all of baseball will do that.
Then again, the Cubs ALWAYS choke on their own bullshit so it doesn't surprise me. The Cubs breaking down under pressure and the season isn't even halfway over yet. LMAO
