... - The Sun-Times is running a poll on who reader's think has a hotter fanbase of women, Cubs fans or Sox fans. Right now, the Cubs fans are jamming to an easy victory in the poll, but to be fair, it's because Sox fans can't read. And I don't think the drunk-tank at 26th & California gets a good internet connection. And it is 9AM and it's not like Sox fans have jobs, so their probably still sleeping. So I expect the poll to start evening out around 2PM. ...

Step it up South Siders!  Hot or not, indeed. We totally have to bring that back, right? Since I ran out of real friends, maybe we'll feature the TTCS crew. I'll think about it.

Bloggers love rumors? As do mainstream media outlets, who routinely print anonymously-sourced articles or go on TV and discuss rumored free agent movement, coach movement, and so on, most of which never comes to fruition. We have no qualms … it’s just where the media is right now. ...
