The Sox could be on a 20 game winning streak and as long as there was the tiniest positive for the Cubs, like Federowicz getting a hit or something, the Sox couldn't move the Cubs off the back page. But the Cubs drop a doubleheader and a Sox loss gets the entire back page: TEXAS MISSTEP! On the bottom of the page in tiny print: Cubs drop two.

The Sox were on the back cover a few weeks ago I think.

The bottom had an Arrietta Dominant story or something.

That is to say I saw it.

holy shit did i just go in a time machine? To a time when printed newspapers were still relevant? who cares about how a paper with a circulation just above this website's membership chooses to fill its sports section?

I know a real lot of shit because I read both papers everyday. I realize most of you don't put much value on knowing anything though.

For the record it's fairly common knowledge that I'm not in the "under 30" crowd ... as a matter of fact, I've got a couple of newspapers on the kitchen table right now.

The Sox will be all over the back page in October

Papers do not matter. Like Managers. Things of the past.

Surely.

If that ain't true yet, it's getting there.

Michael Ferro, the guy who bought the Sun-Times a few years back and turned it into complete shite, bought a large chunk of Tribune Publishing stock earlier this year.

So he ostensibly stepped back from destroying the Sun-Times to focus on destroying the Chicago Tribune and other Tribune properties.

Ferro's plan appears to be to try to get Tribune Publishing to overpay for various Sun-Times assets that Ferro is 10's of millions of dollars in the hole on:
including Splash (oops, Trib already bought that last month) and Aggrego (Trib is now paying them $500K a month for content?) .

http://www.robertfeder.com/page/2/?s=Ferro

Gannett has thrown a monkey wrench into Ferro's plan to bail out his own losses in the Sun-Times investment via the Tribune's coffers by offering to by Tribune Publishing for a premium.. Tribune shareholders want to do the deal, Ferro (for the above reasons) isn't quite ready to sell the Trib to Gannett--because once Gannett is in control, no way will they overpay for Ferro's / Wrapports failed efforts back at the Sun-Times.

Gannett will be able to wait for Sun-Times to go back into bankruptcy and then cherry pick what they want of the Sun-Times--if they want any of it--for a nice discount.

Beautiful. The south-side inbreds start off playing over their heads and insecure fans of the only team to ever sell the World Series to gamblers get butt-hurt over the Sun Times coverage.

Except it's widely known the Cubs threw the Series the very next season, you goof. You're the one who is insecure about a shitty baseball team. And for good reason. Wait 'til next year.

Forget 312, you better call 911!

Not widely known outside of Bridgeport.

I'm not in Bridgeport, dumbass.

Put 1918 World Series fix into a search engine, jimmy. I'm not making shit up. In fact, that was one of the reasons the Sox justified doing it the following year.

Unfounded rumors jimmy. Don't let the upset Sox fans get to you as their tumultuous fall begins.

All based on the word of a White Sox pitcher in a flimsy deposition.

It is BS,like I said.

Cubs are America's team and even Sox fans can see that!

America's Team is the Dallas Cowboys. The Cubs are the Lovable Losers. Please do not confuse the nicknames while you're waiting 'til next year.

Soon we will be saying "2016" like you guys say "2005".

Any newspaper that employs brain dead people like Telander, Morrissey and Wittenmeyer in their sports section deserves the douchebag award.

4.....4 losses in the NLCS
