World of Make-believe


The White Sox put cut-outs of fans in a few rows of seats between first and third as a way to raise funds for their charity.  That’s OK.

 

FOX Sports superimposed fans in the stands during their Saturday broadcasts.  That’s creepy and dumb.

 

The Cubs have advertising signs all over the outfield bleachers where fans otherwise would be sitting.  That’s the Ricketts’ clan crying poor again.

 

The Cubs and Brewers actually heard what was coming out of the respective dugouts during games Friday and Saturday, so (according to Paul Sullivan in today’s Tribune) Commissioner Manfred ordered that the pretend fan noise be made louder so opposing players could see one another mouthing insults but not necessarily hear them.   

 

That’s a man who’s hoping nobody reads lips.
