I always thought they looked best in the home whites with black short-sleeve undershirts. But they haven't worn that combination in years. Too much red makes them look like they're in pajamas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-1145416855098636482006-04-18T23:20:00.000-04:002006-04-18T23:20:00.000-04:00I think you may be right about the cubs/sox deal (...I think you may be right about the cubs/sox deal (as well as the Dunn at first, freel/denorfia in the outfield, but that goes without saying). They do seem to share a certain degree of animosity that the other two-team markets tend to lack. Might come from sharing the same city for so long.. -jjinazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-1145367356385335602006-04-18T09:35:00.000-04:002006-04-18T09:35:00.000-04:00The Enq. write-up on the Good Book was interesting...The Enq. write-up on the Good Book was interesting - particularly Wayne K's reaction. Coming from a defense-oriented organization, I'm a little surprised that he didn't stay with the Dunn at First idea even after he traded WMP. Objectively and subjectively, there's no getting around the fact that Dunn is not a good fielder. Plus, it's not as if we're getting a lot of offense by having Hatteberg or Aurilia at first (by year-end, we could be near the bottom of the league in first base productivity). <BR/><BR/>The Chicago exception to the two-market generality is interesting. This is a total guess, but maybe the casual Cub fan gets a chip on his/her shoulder when the Sox outperform the Cubs. This makes the Sox the hot ticket in town and makes it less cool to be at Wrigley. Sox fans, on the other hand, don't get as easily discouraged because it's usually not cool to go to Sox games in the first place (unless they're really good).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
