From Levine's blog on ESPNChicago:
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Cubs management is incensed over a cover story in Wednesday's Chicago Sun-Times alluding to Wrigley Field as being a hotbed for racist comments toward African-American players.
The story centered on the possibility that Milton Bradley, who has had a history of overreacting to certain situations on the field, might react to taunts from Wrigley fans.
One management source told me that newspaper officials were contacted by the team, which complained that this type of article without an incident attached to it is negative for the sake of being negative and could provoke responses to a problem that doesn't currently exist.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
