No Soup For You

The Cubs had their fan convention over the weekend, and, by all accounts, the faithful went home happy. They got to rub shoulders with the likes of Billy Williams and Ryne Sandberg and grill owner Tom Ricketts over the odds of a rapprochement with Sammy Sosa (slim and none). Meanwhile, over on the South Side… Nothing. No chance to meet with Wilbur Wood and Bill Melton, or Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko. No meet-and-greet with new left fielder Andrew Benintendi or manager Pedro Grifol. And certainly no question-and-answer session with The Chairman, blessed be his name. It’s the Middle Ages for White Sox fans. We’re supposed to pay, pray and obey. If we don’t like it, we can always go north. Talk about your existential rock and a hard place.
