The Critic Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 At approximately 6:20 am today, Fox32 News had a small piece on the White Sox "regaining popularity in the city". They basically mentioned how the Sox organization and USCF are fan-friendly, the neighborhood is not scary, and the Sox players and manager are popular and nice guys, while the Cubs have fought with rooftop owners, added seats "to the disadvantage of rooftop owners", scalped their own tickets, raised ticket prices "considerably" and have recently had some players who "came off as jerks". Needless to say, I was more than a little surprised at the tone of this piece! NICE WORK, FOX32!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I saw it. I though they did a nice job showing how the fan base has gone back and forth over the years. Â Â FYI - Tamaron Hall said she likes going to Sox games for the Mai Tai's. So if you ever see her at the Cell and are looking for a way to hit on her...buy her one of those!!

LosMediasBlancas Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 She lived in my neighborhood. We'd see her at the bars all the time, REALLY enjoying her cocktails. She's cool as hell. Good to hear about the great pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 It's unfortunate that they aired this piece so early. It would be much better to do it on the 5 or 6 o'clock news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The piece was right on the money, I almost missed my train. They did not sugar coat the love for the cubs but they did kind of show that there is much more going for the Sox and much more excitement stirring at US Cellular. It is still a cubs town but....... Â I think the biggest difference is that cub fans wear their pride on their sleeve. Sox fans simply enjoy their team and are not rah rah up your ass with it.

retro1983hat Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 We are going to get the reverse attendance articles and features this year. With everyone talking about how they have now discovered the Sox and the Cell. My wife and I are going to miss going to as many games this year because we couldn't commit this early financially and so many games will be sold out. I love my Sox. Last night when they showed the guys on CSN hitting the golf balls at those windows, she said, "ahh there's my boys." Great to be the Kings of baseball this year.

I remember when he made Tamryn cry on the air. He was being a complete jag-off and kept making fun of her outfit one morning. He wouldn't let it go and she cried on air. Was a very awkward moment. Like when you're having dinner and your dad hits your mom in front of you. Everyone just gets quite and tries to go on with dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a jerk. I find it funny that all the Bruce supporters forget how he would jab the Sox any chance he could. He latest one was the remark about the Dan Ryan, and how it didnt matter about the constuction,because no one will be going to the cell as always. See ya Bruce! Ya Jerk!

Phuck the Cubs Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Fox is a s*** station. They are very conservative and they are very rude to liberals, kind of like how Cubs fans are to those there to root for the enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
