JohnStamos Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I don't know about anybody else, but I am annoyed at the way some White Sox fans on this board view the media (namely ESPN). Seriously, if the White Sox are not written about, people b**** and moan for the lack of recognition. If they are written about but in some way that could be considered remotely negative, people b**** and moan about the 'errors' of the author . If they are written about in a good way praising the Sox, people b**** and moan that they don't want the media to recognize them because they want to fly under the radar. I've seen it all this season as far as these points of views and simply would like Sox fans to not be so rediculous in their complaints. Just because someone doesn't think that the White Sox will win 100 games and go to the World Series doesn't mean that the guys a f***ing moron like some fans would want you to think. Chances are these writers are giving a far more objective view on the Sox than fans who are inclined to side with their team regardless of the point. For example, any writer who questions the White Sox pitching staff isn't necessarily a moron, but probably poses a valid argument given the past of the staff. Just support the White Sox and let them handle any doubters with solid play and victories. I'm not saying don't criticize anyone, but do it with an open mind and don't b**** when they present views against the White Sox that they can support. Also, get used to the fact that the White Sox are not Barry Bond, the Yankees, Cubs, or Red Sox. They will never get the national attention that these teams or players due. Every city's fans want their teams to be recognized on the national level, but there's simply not enough time to in a day to suit everyone. ESPN, realizing their audience, obviously will show more highlights of teams that have massive fan bases. That is not being jerkoffs or assholes, it's called good business. The White Sox will never get extra attention until they earn it time and time again. These are just my feelings on the media, so feel free to oppose them. BTW, I understand the hatred for those who make bold statements using false information or irrevelant statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 The only caveat: I reserve the right to b**** about Kotex Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 ESPN is actually on the bandwagon now. They did a whole story on Buehrle last night about how fast he pitches and they praised Garland for awhile saying he could be the A.L.'s starting pitching for the All-Star Game.

I agree, the media blows with the wind, that's the way it will always be. Sox fans like to complain, that's the way it will always be too. Please send my best to Lori Loughlin, especially those gorgeous six pack abs of hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
