Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Bob Verdi`s lament (Wake of the news) and pre-indictment of the central cast brings a bemused smile to the face of this Downstater. In the same column he expansively exonerates the principals involved: ”Don`t blame Sox for stadium mess.”
Once again the impression we get from the Tribune editorial staff and sports writers is that ”Chicago is Illinois” rather than ”Chicago`s in Illinois.” Really now, how many Illinois taxpayers beyond your urban vision support tax dollars in the megabucks range for an arena where pampered millionaires cavort for several hours a day during the summer months? And how many politicians will be turned out of office because of a Sox move to the Sundome? None from around here.
