Back Talk: A Tale of Self Deprecation

If I had to choose between the Chicago baseball teams, it would be the White Sox. Now I'm the type to root for the underdog and some would argue that the Cubs are the biggest underdog in baseball, but I disagree. Here's why:
Typically underdogs are teams that rarely (or never) win. They are teams that have a few crummy players, a wealth of average players, and one great player that is always overlooked by the good teams. They are teams who don't have a cache of money stored up to build the best field or buy the best players. They are teams who can't fill the stands because too few people have the patience to put their faith in them. These criteria do not fit the Chicago Cubs (except for the never winning part). The Cubs have several great players, tons of money pouring in incredibly overpriced food and beverages (which are most stadiums), name recognition across the country, a historic field, and fans that fill the field with obnoxiousness. Therefore, they are not considered underdogs in my mind.
Also, my grandma is a HUGE Cub fan and is always calling me to tell me Derek Lee hit a home run. Ok, Grams. Cubs fans tend to be annoying, but White Sox fans are the Rodney Dangerfields of baseball complaining about the lack of respect.
This is why I am a Red Sox fan.
