Every spring the city of Chicago gets a jolt of life when the Cubs and White Sox rivalry is renewed. This little hate-fest typically begins simmering around the time pitchers and a catcher report for spring training and is boiling over by the first Red Line Series.

This is a great rivalry since both sides [...]

Intrigue in sports is in the midst of hibernation, but there were still a few stories you should have kept an eye on this week.
U-S-A! U-S-A!  The Americans fielded (iced?) a team made up mostly of players 26 and younger, very few of which had seen action in the Olympics. The results so far couldn’t [...]

Ozzie Guillen has chosen to enter the 21st century in the way that brings him the most attention: he signed up for Twitter.  Although rumor has it his sons are posting a lot of his tweets, the bottom line is that he has jumped on another opportunity to make his ridiculous thoughts and feelings known [...]

The White Sox were 2-hit earlier tonight, but that didn’t stop Ozzie from throwing a temper tantrum arguing balls and strikes.  Detroit4Lyfe got a great screenshot of Ozzie right as he was about to say a wonderful word, which as D4L so eloquently puts it, “rhymes with fuck”.

According to D4L, Ozzie put on quite the [...]

Bitternutz, an avid NQTC reader and commenter, sent me this little rant about his beloved White Sox today.  I’m reposting it here for any Sox fans who wish to read it (or any Cubs fans who enjoy sharing the misery of the 2009 season with our south side brethren).  Enjoy!

I am attending [...]

Over the past week or so there have been some great Chicago sports quotes, and each one would have lent itself to a great post all on its own.  Unfortunately, I’m studying for some stupid test and I don’t have time to make a million posts for you idiots.  Thus, I have combined them all [...]

Whoa!  Shaq to Cleveland could change the face of the East, or not.  It will still be fun.  Here’s a good look at all the roles that will have to be shifted on the Cavs for this trade to work out in Cleveland. [BDL]
Hilarious fake tweets from athlete’s twitter accounts. [Luol's Dong]
Jeff Jordan, MJ’s son, [...]

Will someone who speaks Spanish please tell me what the hell is going on in this commercial?  It makes me laugh, but I have no idea what anything means.  Why all the wardrobe changes?

A site essentially devoted to the White Sox inexplicably rips Ozzie. [Luol's Dong]
What is the Bulls obsession with undersized guards?  Its almost like a strategy geared towards acquiring them. [Pippen Ain't Easy]
Okay this ChicagoSportsWebio scheme is a little over my head, but you know it can’t be good when just days after allegations that paychecks [...]

Remember those “(hispanic player) mows my lawn” t-shirts?  Well they spawned all kinds of discussions about baseball fans being racist, but apparently Ozzie didn’t care about all that.  In fact, it appears he purchased a shirt of his own on his way to work at Wrigley this morning:

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was amused Wednesday [...]

Red Kerr got screwed out of extending his Iron Man streak back in the day under very strange circumstances. [NBC Chicago]
Cubs-Sox is coming up the next few days, but boy have the Cubbies been god-awful at the plate lately.  [Zoner]
Brandon Marshall wants out of Denver and the Bears need a wide receiver.  Why not Cutler’s [...]

The Cubs trounced the White Sox this weekend in a meaningless spring training game.  Most sane and rational human beings probably wouldn’t mind all that much, its just spring training, right?  Well Ozzie disagrees with your sane assessment of the situation, and here was his completely reasonable reaction:

White Sox fans: here is another opportunity for [...]

Carlos Zambrano told the Sun-Times that while he loves the Cubs, he is also a White Sox fan and has been since he was a little kid.  He said that he couldn’t imagine pitching for another team, but if he ever did, he’d want it to be on the South Side.
Now Cubs fans might be [...]

Hey look a White Sox post!  Not really.  As I was sifting through a considerable amount of build-up in my Google Reader, I came across this useful bit of info.

The guys over at Luol’s Dong mentioned not too long ago how these types of headlines will never fail to be funny.  There’s nothing funny about [...]

I know some of our readers are Sox fans and irrationally get mad whenever we write something critical about the Sox (often), but Ozzie just makes it so easy sometimes.  What has our favorite idiot done now?  Well after he ran his mouth that players who get caught doing steroids should be suspended for a [...]
