Yesterday being
a Sunday in mid-September and Saturday being all about college football and the
White Sox being a very baseball team, I didn’t expect to see them get much
coverage despite a 2-0 win over the Orioles in Baltimore. I wasn’t disappointed. The Tribune allotted nine paragraphs from the
Associated Press on the Sox (plus box score).
This must be what most female pro athletes go through on a regular
basis.
Today being a
Monday in mid-September and yesterday being all about the NFL and the Sox being
a very bad baseball team, I didn’t expect them getting much coverage. Imagine my surprise to see the Trib dole out
fourteen short AP paragraphs on a 8-4 Sox loss.
Old habits must die hard for a paper that was once part of a corporation
that also owned the Cubs. Media
conspiracy to ignore the White Sox? What
conspiracy?
Give me those
fourteen paragraphs, and twelve of them would have been devoted to Daniel
Palka, who hit two more homeruns, giving him 24 on the year. That the first one came down at all should
have been national news.
