The Tribune sports’ section treats
the White Sox as if they were a doormat.
Today, page one was devoted, as it seems to be a majority of the year,
to a Bears’ story, on safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix going from the Packers to the
Monsters. The Sox make page eight,
barely.
This is the second spring in a row
where the Trib hasn’t bothered with a beat reporter for the Sox in Arizona;
usually, it’s the Cubs’ reporter or the Trib’s baseball poohbah doing double
duty, or an AP story. Today, “Chicago
Tribune staff,” whatever and whomever that is, provided the byline.
Including the recap of yesterday’s
game against the Giants, the Sox merited all of 14 paragraphs; a second Bears’
story, on a free-agent kicker who was recently signed, is longer and comes with
a photo, which the Sox apparently don’t deserve (Clinton-Dix got two and the
Cubs got two even though they didn’t play on Monday).
In case you’re wondering why Sox
fans have a chip on their shoulder, today’s Trib can explain it.
