God bless Ozzie Guillen
>> Monday
It is about time Chicago had a representative of their city like Ozzie Guillen. This quote from a great article on White Sox should appear on his Hall Fame plaque in Cooperstown:
"I don't want to deal with [bleeps]," Guillen said. "We have a bleeping guy we don't like, we ship him the bleep away. That's what we do here. That's all."
I'm so glad I was raised to be a Sox fan. And Chicago, we're finally taking back the city.

Back implies it was at some point yours.
You know, back before Harry Caray, Wrigley was a decaying stadium where no showed up to. Had the White Sox been smart, kept Caray and not moved to UHF, they would have lost the city to begin with. Thankfully, the errors of a previous generation have been repeated by the Tribune company, who refuses to put a competitive team on the field and settles for mediocrity. For being a history major, I'd expect better than assuming Chicago has always been a Cubs town.
Zuch has a point. After the '69 Cubs love afair wore off, the Cubs were never really the talk of the town again until '84. Really, the Sox were bigger than I think you realize throughout the whole Bill Veeck era, especially throughout the '70s and early '80s.
