Comments on: SOUTHPAW ON THE NORTHSIDE http://www.thebaseballzealot.com/rookie-watch/southpaw-on-the-northside Looking at the Game of Baseball from all ends of the Spectrum Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:15:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Teddy Ballgame http://www.thebaseballzealot.com/rookie-watch/southpaw-on-the-northside/comment-page-1#comment-284 Teddy Ballgame Tue, 04 Apr 2006 07:36:45 +0000 http://thebaseballzealot.com/wordpress/?p=620#comment-284 The White Sox have never been one of the largest revenue generators. Again it was the "experts" who predicted doom for the Southsiders last year. I was the guy who put my money where my mouth was and picked the Sox to win it all. I will remind you it was the first time I'd ever bet on the Sox to win it all. This Cub team is hurting! Three members of their starting are on the DL to start the season, they still have one of the worst fielding secondbasemen in baseball in Todd Walker (maybe the worst now that Soriano is in LF), and a manager who is clueless. I was at game #6 when Baker lost it, not Bartman. Dusty didn't even have anybody warming up with a tiring 22 year old trying to hold on and he didn't even come out to talk with him till the game was lost, when he removed Prior from the game. Don't get me wrong there is some hope. They picked up a leadoff man who can play centerfield, Matt Murton will hit .320+, 20 homers, & 80 walks, and Ronny Cedeno looks to have alot of talent at SS. So if the starters can hang in there till Wood, Prior, & Miller come back they have a chance. The White Sox have never been one of the largest revenue generators.

They haven't won since 1908, a large market team, with the largest fan base in America, and they're as far away from winning as they've ever been. It’s a shame that this ballclub is run so poorly!

His feeling was that if the Cubs could stay .500 with the rotation of Zam, Maddux, Rusch, and Marshall, who knows what what could happen when Wood, Prior and Miller get back.. Eternal Cub fan optimism? maybe.. the cub fans i talk to are excited about this kid.
