White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf recently conducted an informal survey of his team’s fans. Here’s what he has to report:

“I’ve asked a lot of White Sox fans: ‘If given the choice of both teams in the playoffs or neither team being in the playoffs, what would you pick?’ The answer is usually neither, because, ‘I can’t take the chance the Cubs might win.’ And these are from some fairly intelligent people.” [Tribune article]

I think that rationale is the antithesis of intelligent, but such are the White Sox.
