Thud
I don’t really want to spend one minute longer thinking or writing about the past weekend. The end result is what matters, as it always does. A loss is one loss and a win is one win no matter when it occurs or who it comes against. It just feels like a lot more when the team involved with the Sox is the Cubs, whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing (usually, it’s just a plain stupid thing).
However, despite the fact that only one set of fans left the weekend happy, there was one tidbit that caught my eye in the evening media roundup that I’m sure would leave fans of all stripes amused:
Best media moment: A Sun-Times columnist asking security staffers Saturday to safeguard him from one of his colleagues, who asked for a conversation. Request denied.
So, Northside, Southside, Westside, Black, Blue, ARam or JD, there’s one thing any true Chicagoan would agree on, this incident serving as live, indisputable proof:
Jay Mariotti’s a big-honking doofus.
What’s the matter Jay, you afraid Rick Telander’s gonna poke you with his pen?

George,
Love your podcast. How can you not be totally disappointed in this team. Ozzie needs to go. He is responsible for this team not performing! Why leave Contreras in to give up 9 earned runs? This team should be hitting better and someone needs to pay!

I would say that right now I’m disappointed in the way they played this weekend, not quite ready to write off the team as a total failure. This bullpen was supposed to flop, this starting rotation wasn’t supposed to hold up, this division was supposed to be too tough, and yet there the Sox are right in the thick of things. There’s the potential to take it to the next level, so I’m still holding on to hope.
