I
wonder how Jerry Reinsdorf can stand it, the near-disappearance of his White
Sox from local sports’ coverage. Today’s
Tribune sports’ section is a pretty good example. Nearly 80 percent of the front page is taken
up with graphics about the Cubs’ catching corps. Inside, the North Siders get another 2-1/2
pages, which leaves a half-page for Chris Sale winning his 17th game
of the season last night. All I can say
is you get what you deserve, sometimes.
Bet your franchise’s future on the Adams—Dunn and LaRoche—throw in a
rent-a-Jeff (Samardzija), and this is what you get. Oh, well.
It could be worse, and it is, if you’re a fan of the WNBA Chicago
Sky.
Did
you know the Sky won a playoff series Sunday to advance to the WNBA
semifinals? I didn’t know anything about
it until stumbling across a story in the Monday sports’ section. A lot of people probably missed it, being all
of seven paragraphs long. The Tribune
sent four reporters to cover the now 0-3 Bears in Dallas Sunday but couldn’t
find anyone to drive to Rosemont (about 30 minutes from Tribune Tower in Sunday
traffic) to cover a woman’s team in the playoffs. Those seven paragraphs came from the AP.
Like
I said, it could be worse.
