http://sox35th.com/ - Part passion. Part pretension. Mostly White Sox.
A very interesting, behind-the-scenes piece from Mark Cuban on his attempt to buy the Cubs:
“My sense of the entire situation was that whoever the new owner of the Cubs would be, it was in the Sox best interest for things to stay business as usual. Published TV ratings and other ...

They may seem unrelated, but the hirings of Jay Mariotti and Milton Bradley, as well as the passing of Twins owner Carl Pohlad, may have suddenly altered the course of 2009 White Sox baseball for better. And for worse. And for something in between at the same time.
Mariotti, who I just two ...

An interesting blurb from Scott Merkin’s triumphant return to even more biased reporting than the site you’re currently reading:
But as Williams said recently, adding Quentin amounted to adding a “big name” in the collective minds of the White Sox brass. By the way, ...

Are the 2008 Detroit Lions the most important
team in the history of sports?
On August 8, 1997, Mariners ace Randy Johnson strolled into Comiskey Park II and struck out 19 Chicago White Sox batters while allowing zero earned runs en route to a complete game, 16-3 victory. From there, Johnson apparently developed some kind of opinion of the Good Guys as a bunch of losers ...

Our old friend and esteemed road team Bruce Springsteen joined the exclusive-to-Wal-Mart club today with a highly lame, extremely thin greatest hits package due out next month. Wal-Mart will probably make a ton of money off of this, as will Bruce, and the masses will cry out against the ...

Andrew,
Who gets a job first: Joe Crede or Jay Mariotti?
- Chris, Beloit, WI

Ozzie Guillen weighs in on foreign policy:
Guillen also touched on relations between his homeland and the U.S., saying he hopes President Hugo Chavez and President-elect Barack Obama would strengthen ties.

People often forget how firmly the craft of sportswriting is rooted in both journalistic reporting and classic narrative, and even moreso how many of the great writers this country has ever produced have spent time covering such pursuits. Norman Mailer, Hunter S. Thompson, Ernest Hemingway, ...

After weeks months years of a front office
crying poor and an increasingly cynical fanbase suspecting something

So we’re just around the corner from full Hall of Fame voting time, and in a very stupid, very real way the chances of our good friend Tim Raines making it could creep just a little closer.

This week has already seen one epic contract come to life, with a second likely on its way right behind. In a world of ever more news outlets, as the new media takes hold and a seemingly endless number of voices sit in a position to weigh in with bold and strange new insights, what challenging ...

Among the more interesting tidbits in today’s indictment of Gov. Rod Blagojevich (and there were many) was the governor’s ploy to use the Wrigley Field sale as a tactic to get select editors of the Chicago Tribune fired.
Now, if you live in Illinois you probably figured it was ...
