In the fifties, Brickhouse did the broadcasts for both the Cubs and White Sox 
on WGN. In my old neighborhood which was just five miles south of Comiskey, Cub 
fans were beaten. So loyalties were established early on! I still love to see 
the Cubs lose, and it warms my heart when they blow it all at the end of the 
season. 
Sorry, can't help it. It's a Pavlovian response:-).
