Back to the Grind is done already, huh? Well, I am glad, I didn't like that much...

 

 

I like We are Chicago Baseball much better... stick it to the Cubs. Now, they need to add PK, and a few others to the top.

I wonder how long this one will last

I like this a lot. This line's got more punch to it.

I like it.

Oh man this makes me laugh for reasons like 2 people here would get.

Some radio show was complaining that "back to the grind" sounded like the Sox were depressed. This one sounds better.

Two interpretations I can draw from this slogan:

 

1. We're the superior Chicago baseball team. Which has been proven correct about every season the last 15 years aside from three or four.

 

2. We're a MEAT AND POTATOES, blue-collared baseball team which Chicagoans can relate to. All grinder-related statements can still be made. As can quotes pertaining to "winning the right way."

This will not be replacing the Grind thing. Just adding to it, same as the South Side Board of Tourism stuff.

 

The Sox really do have some pretty decent marketing the last few years. I like that they are pasting their banners, including "We are Chicago Baseball" all over the red line train cars (inside and out), which go right by Wrigley as well. Also hitting the cabs hard, and banners all over the north side. They are definitely not marketing small these days.

Ive seen the billboards for these lately. They seem cooler. I like the one with Jim Thome.

The Cub fans here in my office (and they are season ticket holders, so they are not fly by night fans) all think it's very funny. We all agree also that it would be great to see the Cubs come back with their own ad campaign going back at the Sox. I'd like to see the two organizations turn this rivalry into something kind of fun. Back when the Sox had the infamous billboard outside Wrigley, instead of crying about it, it would have been cool if the Cubs had done something else. Let's hope this time they answer the challenge instead of actiing like whiney little brats again.

So they actually are putting all that money they made last year back into the team? Excellent!

Considering we never bunt, even with a man on and no outs, its probably a good thing.

I saw that the other day too.... had a nice little quote on there with something to the effect of

 

"I didn't come here just to hear about a championship."

 

WE ARE CHICAGO BASEBALL.

 

Now if only I had the AC/DC disc with me in the car.

I missed it. What was the "infamous billboard"?

'Grindhouse' ??

The South Side board of tourism commercials are hilarious.

The South Side Board of Tourism

I missed it. What was the "infamous billboard"?

 

A large vertical rectangular building facade near Wrigley Field (and across from the Addison red line stop)was leased by AM 1000 several years ago. The billboard they put up read "Major League Baseball...8.1 miles south." It was classic and pissed off Cubs fans something fierce.

where do these show on?

where do these show on?

Primarily during Sox games on CSN. I've seen them at other times though too.

I got a pocket schedule at a gas station near NIU with this slogan on it 2 months ago, thus although it's not new, it's still quite funny. Not as good as the billboard, but implying the same point.

where do these show on?

Ya, I mostly see them during the games on comcast.

 

This is Lisa from Lincoln park: "WIll my cell phone work on the south side?"

the site has all the commercials, for anybody who hasn't seen them yet btw. That site is about the best ad idea we've ever come up with, outstanding stuff.

My favorite...

 

"You see, the South Side is in constant communication with space objects called 'satellites.' These satellites send messages to places like Europe, China, and Wilmette."

 

I also like the handy formula for currency on the the South Side. $1 = $1

Yeah that's nice guys, but i like to eat. Is there food on the south side?
