 Dirty pool: Sox, Cubs aren't playing by the rules
Dirty pool: Sox, Cubs aren't playing by the rules
Jay Mariotti: To this day, the boom of Ken Williams' voice echoes through town: "Stay out of White Sox business!" He was warning a bitterly departed Frank Thomas not to go there, if you know what I mean, and his rebuke was typical of an ...

 As legacy wobbles, Urlacher forced to compromise
As legacy wobbles, Urlacher forced to compromise
Jay Mariotti: He isn't Butkus. He isn't Singletary. Which means he isn't a legend -- nor will he ever be. Brian Urlacher is a joystick attacker and tireless maker of TV ads at a time when fast and sleek sells, all the more convenient when he's ...

 It’s On: Gregg Doyel vs. Greta Van Susteren
It’s On: Gregg Doyel vs. Greta Van Susteren
Media fight! Lame. But highly comical. Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports (seen here with a Mohawk), in a column Sunday about flip-flopper Brett Favre, claimed that the Packers QB “… has gone on the attack, using a gullible friend at Fox News ...

Because his name isn't Rex, Orton should be starter
Jay Mariotti: First, let me apologize for the contrived farce I saw in a local rag. Those in the know realize that Brett Favre has a better chance of quarterbacking the Grand Rapids Rampage of the Arena League, or returning to the University of ...

As Ozzie invents enemies, Twins stalk division lead
Jay Mariotti: When Ozzie Guillen isn't picking stupid fights with someone named C.J. Wilson -- I see he's stooping to much lower levels than me and Magglio Ordonez -- he's peering at the big scoreboard and seeing The Piranhas nipping at his butt ...

 I'm Just Now Starting To Understand the Depth of Jay Mariotti's Ability to "Windsock"
I'm Just Now Starting To Understand the Depth of Jay Mariotti's Ability to "Windsock"
By windsocking, I mean the phenomenon Chris W described in the comments section of the last Mariotti post I did. When popular opinion seems to be going one way, Jay must take the opposite stance. Bears fans think their team has a shot this year? Fuck ...

 Opinion: Baseball, Managers and Ozzie Guillen
Opinion: Baseball, Managers and Ozzie Guillen
Ozzie Guillen gets a bad rap with the Chicago and national media, but the fact is, he knows more about baseball than Jay Mariotti or Bud Selig. You may not agree with me, but keep in mind that the best managers in the game all act the same way - Guillen, Pinella, Sciosia, Leyland, LaRussa. It's no coincidence. Managers are much more important than the media would have you believe.

Who's laughing at Dempster? No one
Jay Mariotti: We're only 96 days from Game 1 of the World Series, 14 weeks from the unspeakable Cubbie dream, and I've yet to make fun of Ryan Dempster. I thought zingers would be a staple all season after he declared so wildly, "I think we're ...

Unfairly snubbed, Sox deserve better
Jay Mariotti: Dadgum, Hawkeroo. Would you believe the records are nearly identical now? In fact, when weighing the difficulty quotient of playing in the superior league, the White Sox actually are having a better season than the charmed, beloved, ...

 Harden is the hopechest, but Z is The Man
Harden is the hopechest, but Z is The Man
Jay Mariotti: Just past 5:30 p.m., as the L train clattered and the W flag swayed and an enemy manager named Dusty Baker leaned obliviously against the batting cage, Rich Harden jogged in from the outfield with his new teammates. When he reached ...

The riddle of Harden: Will he be more risk or reward?
Jay Mariotti: What, you thought a general manager who signed a free agent during an angioplasty procedure was going to sit still? As formal responses go, Jim Hendry struck quicker Tuesday than Cynthia Rodriguez's divorce attorney and Rampage ...

CC this: After big deal, all eyes turn to Hendry :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Jay Mariotti
Remember, this is Cubdom. It's never quite as easy as shouting "Woo!" in the night or getting a phone number in the bleachers, even when 28 percent of your roster is on the All-Star team and the boys are more fabulous at home than the ivy. I'd like to ...
