Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Despite winning the World Series just three season ago (or, 97 years more recently than the Cubs), the White Sox still play second fiddle in Chicago. There’s both good and bad with that: When you stink, you don’t receive as much criticism; when you’re good, you don’t get as much credit.
With the Chicago teams on the verge of winning their respective divisions and both making the playoffs for the first time since 1906, The New York Times explored this dichotomy. How can Ozzie Guillen steal some of the spotlight away from the North Siders? Easy: Become a good ole’ fashion stupid American:
“Attention?” he said. “If I want attention, I’ll do something stupid. Then I’ll get attention. That’s the only way you get attention in the United States, if you do something wrong.”DeSean Jackson whole-heartedly agrees with you, Ozzie Guillen. As do the subjects of all the most viewed videos on YouTube. Of course, I’m not sure how Ozzie would know this, seeing as he’s never done anything stupid.
