SOX are Home, Other team on the Road. SOX win ...Dramatically. Other team loses....2wice....Dramatically.
SOX move 2 games into 1st Place. Other teams falls 2 games Back. If we follow the precedent or "rules of engagement"
set by the MEDIA, we would think the SOX to TRIPLE the amount of stories today right? Wrong. The Cub-Loving Media
today keeps the cubs up front and center DESPITE the fact theyre on the road, and the Fact moved 2 games up in 1st place.
Anyone notice how the Rhetoric regarding "The AL Central Division is such a joke, weak division" is heating up on talk-radio?
The Cubune today has the gall (I still counted it as a "SOX" story)
to run an article on how the Angels and Cubs both have rosters RIDDLED with injuries, and how theyre not at Full-Strength. Very Kiley/Murphy-esque in its placement. Cub-Times though,
does GIVE THE SOX THE COVER, which is very important, though the stories were even.
Marty Media says: "The home team usually gets MORE coverage, However We had to give Equal/More coverage to the Cubs because it was a Double-Header they were Playing, and Against a Division Rival"
Cubune:
5 cub stories
4 sox stories
Cub-Times:
3 cub stories
3 sox stories
Despite being at home & being in 1st Place ...........
CUBS 757
SOX 523
