Keep That Kool-Aid Comin'


I just don’t get it.  Here we are at the end of May, the early prime part of the baseball season, and both newspapers act as if it’s late August, when they go into 24/7 Bears’ mode.  Last season’s 3-13 Monsters of the Midway—insert whatever joke you want here—made the first page of the Trib’s sports’ section three days running, and two out of three at the Sun-Times.  Did you know the Bears have a quarterback controversy brewing, or that they don’t want to comment on the injury status of oft-injured former #1 draft pick Kevin White, or that they really did comment by signing 30-year old receiver Victor Cruz?  Now you do.  

What kind of readers-fans-people care about this stuff, before Memorial Day?  Why does baseball have to worry about the whims and idiosyncrasies of millennial fans but football doesn’t?  Why don’t the Bears just go away, at least until after the Feast of the Assumption?  I wish I knew.
