We all know that White Sox fans in Chicago are the ugly duckling in the Northside/Southside rivalry. They tend to be uglier, smellier, and uglier, or so I'm told. But I will grant them this. They are much, much more clever than their Northside brethren, oh and they've won at least one World Series in the last 100 years.
But anyway, back to being clever. It seems that a White Sox fan decided he wanted to get revenge on a Cubs fan that he'd lost a bet to during the regular season. So what did he do? He did something AWESOME following the Cubs' postseason tour of failure against the Dodgers.
From Steve Rosenbloom's blog over at the Trib:
Fast-forward to last weekend. The Cubs are swept out of the first round by the Dodgers on Saturday night.
Sunday morning at the Cubs house. A battery-operated CD player with a timer went off at exactly 7:30. A bullhorn is attached to the CD player. The whole contraption is placed right outside the Cubs couple's bedroom. Blasting out of the bullhorn is a very loud and painfully slow version of "Go Cubs Go."
"Go."
"Cubs."
"Go."
Ah, but the Sox husband couldn't leave it at that. No, as the Cubs husband sought the source of the noise, he ventured out to his front yard. There he found 100 lawn signs with nothing but a drawing of a billy goat stuck in the ground. Yes, 100 signs. For some reason, that number rings a bell.
Perhaps even better, the White Sox fan stuck a sign on the Cubs fan's garage that said "I'd rather have a sister that lived in a whorehouse than a brother that's a Cubs fan."
It was such great revenge, even the Cubs fan was impressed.
Well played, you crazy White Sox fan. Well played indeed.
