It was like that long before their recent uniforms. Day baseball and WGN started a young fan base. WGN was the #1 station for kids. Ray Rayner in the morning before school and the ending of Cub games after school.
I see the Sox at Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown when they get close to .500 and I hear the Who singing, "we don't get fooled again". They are not good enough to go on a major hot streak.
Despite some of his stats one that rings out is the teams behind him don't support him. He' basically a .500 pitcher. I thought he would light up the NL but he's basically around a .500.
