How totally uncharacteristic of the Chicago sports media
>> Friday
--overreacting to a 7 runs-in-3 games offensive "drought." And most shockingly, it came from the most rational of all media outlets, sports talk radio.
The culprits this time are Mike Mulligan and Brian Hanley, the guys in the 10am to noon slot on The Score 670 AM, who opened their show today by expressing concern that the Cubs offense had not yet "come together" (whatever that means) over the course of three early-season games played in a cold that pushed the threashold for normal human sensation. Oh, and then the one guy (Hanley, I believe) insinuated that Soriano is a large part of the problem because--and I paraphrase--Soriano is a great hitter, but he's bad to have in the leadoff spot.
Then some guy called in and said, in all seriousness, that by hearing Lou Pinella talk, "you can tell that guy's an alcoholic." That at least entertained me. That caller should be hosting the show.
I had to share that bit of absurdity, but from now on, I'm gonna hold myself to a policy of "no blogging on stupid shit said by people on sports talk radio." Otherwise, I may end up listening to Mike North and blogging continuously until the tendons in my hands turn to strands of linguine. Because, as I think we can all agree, sports talk radio is for comedic value only.
