I found this on the Sports Illustrated truth and rumors page. The Tribune is reported as the source, but I cant find where this was printed: It would have been done by now if Konerko played for the Cubs? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Didnt the Cubs wait all off-season and part of Spring Training to re-sign Aramis Ramirez? How about all the smoke and mirrors in the Sammy Sosa contract negotiations? Reinsdorf hasnt endeared himself to everyone throughout his tenure, but claims like this are just stupid.

I think that is part of the grand master plan of re-designing the US Cellular experience. From what I keep reading about what they areplanning to do, bars are on the way. You can only hope that the people who own the property around the park are smart enough to capitalize on the gameday traffic. It seems like it is way too obvious for me. Open a bar to cater to the fans. Duh.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ May 23, 2005 -> 10:22 AM) My friend who is a huge Rangers fan came up with a trade The Sox would send Aaron Rowand, Joe Crede and B Mac for Mark Teixeira and Hank Blalock Someone explain to me how this benefits the White Sox please. You lose your starting centerfielder, starting 3B, and future starter for a starting 3b. Im sure Texas would jump on this trade in a heartbeat

QUOTE(BobDylan @ May 22, 2005 -> 01:59 PM) Alright. I was just wondering, that first inning I heard him they weren't really responding to him. It sounded like he wasn't supposed to be there. He has been quite comical. Moose: I wouldnt want a piece of that Buehrle, that big Right hander DJ: Ahhh Jon Garland Moose: I wouldnt want a piece of him either.

QUOTE(Pastime @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:32 AM) As for kyyle and southsider - I know both of them from another forum, and I wouldn't trust either of them as far as I could throw them. They add nothing to any forum. I think both of them are closet Cub fans. J/K, guys. Pastime telling it like it is

I just watched, and they didnt mention the Sox hardly at all. Instead, they focused on how good the Cubs would be if Carlos Zambrano was their closer. What a crock.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ May 21, 2005 -> 06:27 PM) When's the first column about big bad Sox fans acting badly in Wrigleyville? Sunday? Monday? Totally unprovoked, of course. It's gotta happen. I was at the game on Friday, and there really wasnt alot of animosity that I saw. The Cubs fans were really subdued after the Sox started scoring, and when they got into it when the Cubs scored their first run, the Sox just shut them down and got out of the inning. I saw a bunch of people about 5 sections away rise up because there was a scuffle, but it was stopped pretty quickly.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 21, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) Welcome. Thanks

QUOTE(knightni @ May 21, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) The Bulls aren't bad and the Bears are going to be a lot better this year. The Blackhawks have been bad for years; they don't deserve attention until Dollar Bill sells them. I know the Bulls arent bad now. But they were for 7 straight years, and yet they stayed in the top 5 in attendance still. Thats a fact that baffled Mariotti, and he used to love ripping on the fans for it.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 21, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) Once an idiot dickhead, always an idiot dickhead... This is the same guy who threatened Hawk, a guy who is easily 20-30 years older than him. He is quite a class(less) act.

Mariotti has been slowly(and grudgingly) admitting to the readers that he now thinks the White Sox are for real. He jumped off the loveable loser bandwagon as soon as he saw signs of it steering into a wall. Now Hendry and Williams have switched identities in his mind (that of a against-the-grain genius and a bumblin-stumblin moron) and now he gleefully rips on the same people he was hailing as the next dynasty in baseball. Mariotti is always a fun and funny read, even if he is ripping on your team. but his messages in his articles are worth no merit whatsoever. The man who would be muted in every appearance on Around the Horn knows no true loyalty, and honestly does NOT understand the unique Chicago fan loyalty dynamic at all. You can tell because he constantly rips the fans as well as the players for showing up to support a bad team(Cubs, Bulls, Bears) and the lack of support for other teams(before the lockout Blackhawks and White Sox). I read his articles with a massive dose of salt anymore.
