I’m not a Sox fan, but …
October 17, 2005
This was just stupid. During my morning commute, I flip between a couple of AM stations to hear traffic reports and just general news of the world. Of course, everything for the last two weeks was about the White Sox (good for them!). This morning, even more of everything was about the White Sox. Then, I heard one of the dumbest things ever (in regards to baseball and the Sox).
On WLS 890AM, morning host Don Wade stated that the Sox got through the division series and won the penant “not because they played good baseball, but because the teams they played against played BAD baseball.” What?!
Four consecutive complete games pitched by four different starting pitchers, clutch hitting (ESPN1000 said no one in Chicago is allowed to boo Joe Crede anymore) and solid fielding aren’t good baseball?
Did Boston and Anaheim both completely choke against an underrated Chicago team? I’m sorry, but there’s just so much wrong with what that guy said. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sox fans booed him next time he’s out and about.
Congrats to the ChiSox! They got some amazing performances from the pitching staff and some really solid play in the field to clinch a spot in the World Series for the first time in almost 50 years. Bad baseball, my ass.

I’m not a Sox fan either, but they pretty much dominated both the Red Sox and the Angels. The pitching they got from their starters is unprecidented in this era of baseball and is something that we’ll likely NEVER see again.
Don Wade can suck it.

Your first mistake is listening to sports talk radio. I absolutely cannot do it. Haven’t been able to for years. Those people are morons.

A valid comment, Steve …but 890AM is not sports talk radio. It’s a general mish-mash of everything. It just so happens that *every* show on AM radio is about the Sox right now.
