    I didn't see Sister Act.  I was offended that the term "Sister" was
    applied to people in that convent other than Whoopi Goldberg (who's 
    name in itself would normally not be construed to be that of someone 
    looking to be a nun).  It seemed to me from the commercials that those
    people had no real institinctive rhythm, and hence, may not qualify for
    the term "Sister"...

    The Division banner is from '81 and Macy's number isn't retired.  Only

I think the name can get the trademark.  It's just a different way of
referring to what happens.

For example, I own the TM on "rectal-cranial insertion" or RCI.   Now
that is an act I see every time I look at a manager here at DEC.  Can't
(tm) the act, but I sure can (tm) my expression for it.....

    I was asking someone here (Chicago) why the White Sox always seem to
    get off the hook for not having won for decades.  It was even before
    the Bosox since they've won, yet when it comes to Chicago and
    nationally as well, the Cubs always get the bad rap.  I'm certainly not
    a Cub fan, but would enjoy the Sox taking a bit more grief for their
    ineptitude.

    Thing is, Spud, the Cubs are joked about but they're not really rapped
    like the Red Sox.  They're the lovable losers.  The White Sox would no
    doubt have welcomed that kind of attention over the years, not disdained 
    it.  They could have used all the help they could get when year after 
    the year the incompetent Cubs were whupping them at the box office, 
    regardless of the quality of the teams...

Also the White Sox have not had those "close" calls that broke their fans'
hearts. (1969, 1984 NLCS).

The thing I could never understand is why fans in two team towns only 
follow one team, and often hate the other team.  Never having lived in a 
two team town, I would think it would be cool to follow a team from each 
league.

> Never having lived in a two team town

then you couldn't possibly understand it - it's in the blood :-).
there are some exceptions but not too many. 

ie I dislike the Yankees and Islanders, don't
particularly care about the Nets or Devils, follow the Jets but also
mildly root for the Giants.

I'll take a stab at it. 

It may come from the neighborhood you're from.

The Yanks were in the Bronx, the Dogders in Brooklyn, the Giants were
in Manhattan I believe.

I've never met anyone from Brooklyn who likes the Yanks, unless it was
a deal where they hated their father and rooted for the Yanks to piss
him off (I know one guy like that).


My dad was an interesting case.  He's ALWAYS been a Sox fan, but he had
more than a passing interest in the Braves, since Hartford had a Braves
farm team.

Now, he's just a Sox fan.....

    I grew up a few hours north of NYC.  I loved the Mets, liked the
    Red Sox (parents from the Boston area), and hated the Yankees as
    a team.  I liked certain players (Nettles, Pinella).
    
    In the mid to late 70's, the Mets sucked (possibly as much if not
    more than they will this year), and the Red Sox were getting beat
    by the Yanks.  Steinbrenner was also a jerk.  It was easy to hate
    them.
    
    It didn't carry over into other sports.  I'm a rabid Giant fan, but
    I don't mind seeing the Jets or the Pats do well.
