Andrew Greeley at it again...
by DrCrawdad

What is it with Andrew Greeley? Why does he feel compelled to smear and put down Sox fans?
When the Sox won the World Series Greeley wrote an ugly, hateful smear on Sox fans. Now he's at it again. This time it's a gratuitous smear of Sox fans.
Who are those who reject compromise of a useless and criminally deadly war like Iraq? They are the blusterers, members of "veteran's organizations," mountain folk, crackers, West Texans, blue collar workers, evangelical clergy, neo-cons, Republicans, white ethnics, Sox fans...
Here's a heaping helping of the smears, stereotypes and lies spread by Greeley less than 3 years ago:
It's not as though the White Sox are a real Chicago franchise like the Cubs or the Bears or Notre Dame...the behavior of White Sox fans, an intolerable bunch of human beings when baseball is the subject (who beat up on wives of opposing players)...My seminary classmates who were Sox fans were insufferable on the days they won and we lost. More mature than they were, we Cub fans felt no need to cackle triumphantly when the Sox lost...
So, let's see Greeley thinks Cubbies fans are superior to Sox fans and he demonstrates this by stereotyping and spreading ugly smears. Really, "father," WWJD?

WSJ: The Decline of the National League
by DrCrawdad
on Jul 14, 2008 7:12 PM PDT
The Wall Street Journal examines "The Decline of the National League." Included is a graphic entitled: "The Long National League Nightmare."
Of course, all said and done the history does not make an AL victory inevitable Tuesday nor another World Series Championship to the AL.
Interesting read.
They play the same game. They pick from the same pool of players. For some reason, though, they don't get the same results.
By just about every measure, the 16 teams in Major League Baseball's National League are inferior to the 14 in the American League. The AL has won 11 of the last 16 World Series, including three of the last four. The annual All-Star Game, to be played Tuesday, has practically become a farce: Not counting a 2002 tie, the AL has won 10 straight.

'I told my family and my friends that before my career ends, I want to play for the White Sox. Right now, my priority is helping this club. That's what I am trying to do. But I used to be, when I was growing up, I was a White Sox fan. But every time I say that, the Chicago Cubs fans get jealous and pissed off.'' - Carlos Zambrano, as quoted in the Sun-Times, March 16, 2008

The Tribune, well ChicagoSports.com, has an article entitled, "Blogosphere Therapy." I quickly perused the article searching for BleedCubbieBlue and finally Yellon gets a mention in the last paragraph.
