I’m going to immediately follow up with a blog about how this White Sox lady is fuckin BLAZING but right now I just want to rip on the White Sox. Don’t mind me.
It’s fuckin pathetic Chuck Garfien’s gotta split a mic. Maybe one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen on the Southside of Chicago including the time we slaughter ruled De La Salle in both ends of a 2004 double header.
What are we doing?
Where’s Jerry Reinsdorf?
And what about Paul Konerko?
It’s funny to laugh at the White Sox for being terrible but then it’s also overwhelmingly depressing because it’s actually extremely fucked up.
Tickets today are going for standard rate. I know this because I wanted to blog their opening day ticket prices but the game’s almost sold out. That’s because White Sox fans are loyal people that don’t want to miss an opening day.
But they’re also very smart. Next Monday tickets are in the $2-3 range all over the stadium because White Sox fans refuse to watch historically atrocious baseball.
So the fact they’re selling out today – an afternoon start on a Thursday in shitty weather – tells me everything I need to know about White Sox fans: they at least deserve more than one microphone.
They also deserve better coverage.
I remember a day and age when the White Sox were Chicago’s hottest team. Even with the Cubs winning a world series, White Sox fans talked so much shit about how the next decade would belong to them. It was a really big deal.
Fast forward a couple years and the White Sox technically became one of baseball’s most talked about teams. Just all for the wrong reasons.
So now you get national people talking a lot about the White Sox, but all the local guys checked out long ago.
Which brings us to today.
A sell out crowd and one fucking microphone.
You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried.
