It's a Cubs Town

Try as they might, the White Sox have never captured the public's attention in Chicago the way the loveable Cubs have.

There is no cachet, no curse of the Billy Goat, just decades without a World Championshiop, dating back to 1917.

Red Sox second baseman Tony Graffanino is well aware of the situation. He played for the White Sox from 2000-2003, getting some action in Chicago's first-round playoff loss to Seattle in 2000.

But even then, the White Sox didn't take over the city from the Cubs.

``It's a Cubs town,'' said Graffanino. ``It's a shame, but that's the way it goes.''
