How can someone be a fan of both the Cubs and the Sox? I thought you were forced to choose one or the other while still in utero.

You can't be both. Cub fans tend to be pleasant, friendly, optimistic, clean people from the north side, nice suburbs, the rural Midwest, and so forth. They stick with their team. They fill their ballpark. They probably won't mug you. Cubs fans are a national treasure and a credit to the sport. White Sox fans are petulant vindictive pricks who try to do this whole "we're the elite and selective knowledgeable Chicago baseball fans" as an excuse for their comparatively miniscule fanbase. Indeed, south side fans are well-versed in the subtle nuances of the game, like jumping a fence and beating the shit out of a coach. Nobody shows up to Sox games most of the year because they play in a ghetto, and Sox fans are usually too poor to afford tickets, unless they're in the architecturally brilliant Comiskey upper deck that has to be closed on windy days.
