Chicago Tribune:
4 cub stories
1 sox stories
Chicago SunTimes:
4 cub stories
3 sox stories
Standings since beginning of Spring Training:
Laughingstock of MLB, 3 90-win Seasons since 1950 CUBS 92
WS Champs in 2005, 14 90-win Seasons since 1950 SOX 50
A little tougher to gauge the number of stories today, since many talked of the game, however there were a number of stories slanted towards the cub perspective, and of course there were more of those and the SOX lose more ground in media coverage. In the SunTimes photo, We see "cross-town showdown" with a Color picture of Soriano high-fiving Ramirez. From the picture, you would think it was the Cubs who won the game. Last nite,
while watching ESPN, I see all the Spring Training games on the Ticker.
We see WHITE SOX 13, CUBS 2, and then we see the Highlights of the game STATS, which showed SORIANO and Derrek LEE had hits and homers.
Hmmmmmmmmm, Paul Konerko had a better day than either of them ........
no Konerko stats? Hilarious. Jay Mariotti today declares Chicago a Cubs town ............Because they spent $300 Million Dollars? Not.
Yesterdays SunTimes was inexcusable.
On the back page .........they have pictures of AJ "the instigator" Pierzynksi, and Michael "the enforcer" Barret. What is wrong with this towns media and why do they continue to portray AJ as the bad guy, and Imbecile Barret as the good guy?
