Princess Dye Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Background: If the Sox win 10 games in a row, CTL's Dave Kaplan (and Nick Swisher) apparently will dye their hair pink. It started as an offhanded comment around the time of the pink bats and chia chins. But now it's snowballing and apparently they are making preparations to really do it and have a charity tie in. That said, when asked yesterday if he was rooting against the Sox for one of these next games, he pretty much yelled, "YES!" Which leads me to believe he's a Cub fan (if not another team).... and thus it will be pretty hilarious to (hopefully) watch him do one episode of CTL with pink hair.

I knew Kaplan at NIU years ago. Yes, he is very Cubbied up. As for the pink hair thing, he doesn't have much hair regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever consider the fact that he just dosen't want to dye his hair pink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Kaplan has admitted on CTL that he is a Cub fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 22, 2008 -> 04:48 PM) Kaplan has admitted on CTL that he is a Cub fan. And he used to admit it on sports central as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even say offhandedly. Would you bet against your beloved team in any context? It looks like a few posters here are confirming this suspicion anyway.

That funky motion Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 He comes in my car wash. I had know idea what he looked like but knew his name. I was pulling his car around and he had a ton of Cub stuff in his car. I made a joke like " I almost got sick driving your car around with all that Cub stuff in it" He laughed and said, do you know who I am. We got a great laugh out of it and he showed me a pic of his kid with Ozzie and his kid was wearing a Cub shirt. He said he loves Oz, and he gave it to his kid for the shirt. He also said it funny that he comes to my wash because of all the Sox stuff I have in my wash. Jay Marriotti also come in, I want to put a Sox magnet on car and take a pic.

MurcieOne Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Dave Kaplan is the Ryan Seacrest of Chicago Sports.... I could live without both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) He's a real nice guy, but definitely a huge Cubbie fan. Him losing a Sox bet/with pink hair would be just golden. Edited May 23, 2008 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I wish Swisher would start getting some f***ing hits and stop worrying about the color of his hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Im pretty sure that Kaplan did or still does the Cubs pregame on WGN radio, its no secret that he is a Cubs fan. I have to say though, these two are going to have some "wash right out" dye in their hair that day, I dont think Comcast or the Chicago tribune are too hip on letting the host of their show "Chicago Tribune Live" sport a pink hairdo for very long.

SoxFan1 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm sure the Cubbie lover will be ecstatic with tonight's loss on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 When I saw OPRF play Waukegan, Kaplan's antics with Jereme Richmond's father were embarrassing. You would have thought Richmond's dad was the President of the United States with how much ass-kissing was going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
