First off, I'd rather have him than the clown they have on the north side.

When I was in Chicago last time, I read a Trib that said the Sox are on pace to draw 3 million+ (and beat whatever the franchise record is) while the Cubs were on pace for less than 3 million for the first time in a long time.
Who the hell mentioned the Cubs? Typical fan that gives all Sox fans a bad name, always has to bring the Cubs woes into discussions involving the Sox.

Hey Sharktank, you know what's sad?
The White Sox are the defending world champions and still don't even draw close to the number of fans that the Cubbies do. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

EDIT:
2006 Cubs attendance: 1.27 mil
2006 White Sox attendane: 1.254 mil

But yeah, you're right, they aren't even close.

He is right, they aren't even close.
White sox have played
36 games at home this year (according to the chart), and the Cubbies have played 32.

OK, so add 160k to the Cubbies.
You get 2.43 mil vs. 2.15 mil. Considering the Sox will continue to draw well all year and there's a better than average chance that attendance will slip at Wrigley, I don't see how this is "not even close."
