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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mike North was canned from The Score, Hire
Jim Essian couldn't be happier, and Jay Mariotti couldn't
be stupider.
Jay Mariotti: A healthy, long-stemmed rose was placed
on every seat. None, from what we could tell,
had a thorn. Other than the girls who hound him incessantly -- news that prompted new boss John Paxson to crack Monday, "And that's not gonna ...
Drafted: 1 I'm not in the business of
promoting Jay Mariotti, but he makes a great point
in this article . Anytime you have a rookie coming in with his sights on the MVP rather than on the pedestrian Rookie of the Year trophy, you're dealing with ...
Jay Mariotti: And someone actually had the gall
to ask: Should a Chicagoan start rooting for both
teams? Sure, and the Republicans will perform a group hug with Obama in September. After so many generations of waiting, so much perpetual agony and ...
