Wednesday's Wall Street Journal
Sox fans might to take a look at this mornings Wall Street Journal. There is a story right on page one titled "White Sox Are Hot, So Why Are Fans In Chicago So Blase?". The article discusses reasons for attendance problems, and they cite all the usual suspects. There are some good quotes. The author does get to the heart of issue regarding the Sox lack of national attention for their 88-year championship drought; They haven't been good enough to win, and they haven't been bad enough to tap into baseball's romance with hapless losers.

Eh, same old, same old? Newsday made the point a few weeks ago about the team not being good enough, or bad enough, to be noticed, though the WSJ did have a good quote from Buehrle about the upper deck. As for Konerko saying the team couldn't sell out next year even if it won it all this year, well, maybe Paul ought to learn to keep his mouth shut.
Somewhat better was the Trib story today on Mike Veeck, and his ideas for marketing the new park by marketing the old park. It's a shame that wasn't done or considered better. Maybe even put the Negro League museum on the site of much of its history, including its East/West game, rather than in Kansas City? Too late now, of course . . .
Most of the ideas Veeck throws out during the article were pretty bad. There were a few good ones regarding some detailing of the park, but I think the last thing Sox fans want to see are a bunch of chicks with dicks racing mopeds around the infield...
Yeah, I admit the drag queen idea was waaayyy over the top . . .
