YASNY Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Here's the link: Mariotti And he concludes with this: If this had happened at U.S. Cellular Field, as White Sox radio host Dave Wills pointed out Sunday, there would be a civic outcry. Granted, we haven't seen a drunk rush onto the field at Wrigley and attack a coach or umpire, but maybe the day is coming. For that matter, if rookie Sox manager Ozzie Guillen had screwed up a double switch, wouldn't we be crucifying him? ''If that happened to me, oh, my God, I would be fired tomorrow,'' Guillen said over the weekend in Florida. Like it or not, a double standard exists in Chicago baseball. Five outs from a World Series last fall, the Cubs are expected to contend for a championship this season. So far, the task seems too big for them.

DonkeyKongerko Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Can a leopard really change its spots? Or maybe Mariotti had a moment of clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettysburg32 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I appreciate the sentiment from Mariotti, it's quite a bold statement to say "there is a double standard" and the Ozzie quote is quality. But forgeting to mention the fact that Cubs fans 1. have also gone onto/gotten into fights on the field before as well, and 2. Cubs fans have been partly responsible for the Comiskey Park incidents that have given White Sox fans such negative press, means that Mariotti still is applying his said "double standard".

Texsox Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I've always believe Marriotti to call em like he sees them. IIRC he also slammed Sosa at times last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Even if he is ripping the Cubs, he still takes time to take a jab at the White Sox and their fans with the rushing the field comment. I wonder if he even knows he has made a mistake with that comment. He is completely clueless and never listens to anyone else's opinion. He thinks his opinion is always correct and the only one that matters. He is a smug little dirty prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Master Buehrle Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 That was an interesting article. SOme of you may not agree, but I sometimes find Mariotti enjoyable to listen to on the air. Maybe it's his "disgruntled about everything sports fan" ideal, but it certainly is better than listening to my geometry teacher yam on and on about math.

Comes of much more knowledgable. Part of it is that he is paid to write columns that stir up some friction and such. So he'll do things that rile people up.

mreye Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hello people! He's got a radio show on the Sox flagship! He even makes mention to Dave Wills. He may be "calling it like he sees it." But do you honestly think that without his radio show on 1000 he would have written this same article? Yeah, maybe, but he NEVER would have put in the part about the Sox. He's a Cub fan through and through. There's no change of heart here. He's just warning them to not give us fodder to criticize them with.
