Also, I think it's funny that all the projections and such have the Sox struggling to win 80 games, yet if you were to listen to local radio gushing over KW and Ozzie's reworked roster, you would think that the Southsiders are a cinch for another WS appearance and that each of their starting 5 will be competing for the CY award.

And somehow we had a shittier year in 2009 when we finished with 83 wins and they finished with 79 wins, right? Talking to Sox fans since 2005, you'd think they've won back-to-back-to-back-to-back World Series and the Cubs have finished in the cellar every season.
I haven't listened to sports radio in Chicago (unless listening to WGN during the game counts) in at least four or five years. I gradually stopped after 2005.

With me having to drive to and from work these days, I've found myself listening to sports radio more and more lately. I wish I hadn't started again, because there is NOTHING worth listening to during the morning and afternoon rush. Whenever I turn on 670 I become infuriated. FM radio blows, and AM is a joke. I think I may need to listen to more podcasts (B&I) and audiobooks or something to pass the time. I miss being able to read on the train.
