Well, the Sox fans around me took Schueler's side. And a Cubs fan? Moi? Heresy. For 36 years, I've stood firmly behind the Twins, with many, many ups and downs, but two World Series titles, a ton of excitement, and never having to root for Frank Thomas.
Can't say enough about that Waking Hours CD. Any chance of them playing IPO Chicago (where I will stay far away from Comiskey -- oops, US Cellular -- Park)?

>>Jack was not criticized by fans for putting his music career ahead of his
pitching -- it was White Sox general manager Ron Schueler. He got upset
that Jack played at a street festival only hours before he was scheduled to
pitch. It was never an issue for the fans, because he was winning. That's
what Sox fans care about (and get so little of).
In trying to convince folks that the White Sox sucked, I presume you're a
Cubs fan. Tsk tsk.
