Chicago Tribune:
3 cub stories
4 sox stories
Chicago SunTimes:
4 cub stories
3 sox stories
3 90-win Seasons since 1950, Laughingstock of MLB Cubs 109
14 90-win Seasons since 1950, WS Champs in 2005 SOX 62

The SOX are again not able to make a dent in the number of stories the Cubs dominate the SOX by today. In fact, since I've kept track of these stats since 2000, the SOX have NEVER led the Cubs, which is as surprising as it is disturbing, further damning the Chicago Media.

The Vazquez signing I figured would've been worth a lot of ink today, but instead, were treated to Cub Fluffer Gordon Wittenmeyers rah-rah article on how great it was that $40Million man Ted Lilly gets into fights with his manager during games, and shows just how competitive he is. We know that if it was Gavin Floyd who fought with his manager, Floyds personality would be questioned, he would be asked non-stop if he is disruptive, would be labeled a potential clubhouse-troublemaker etc etc.

The Cubs are the dog that pees on your rug and then snuggles with your kid. You can't kill it no matter how much you want to. So, you just say AWWWW, clean it up and go back to what you were doing.

Me? I don't do cute. GO SOX!

The funniest part to me is that the Tribune claims there is no media bias.

If you thought he clashed with Gibbons (who is an asshole in his own right), I cannot WAIT to see when Piniella pulls Lilly in the 5th inning of a meaningless July game...
