Irresponsible journalism
Ok, so some guy _maybe_ "cost the Cubs a game":http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2003/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=1638390. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they had a chance last game to close it out and didn't. They also will have game 7 to do it. But for the Chicago Sun-Times to "publish his name":http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/fan15.html, knowing what the possible backlash could be, is something I'd expect from "Karl Rove":http://archive.salon.com/politics/red/2001/06/14/blue/, not from a fishwrapper whose only claim to fame is a portly movie critic. Can you imagine the amount of the settlement that he's going to get the first time someone goes to his work and throws a rock through his window? I'll be suprised if he doesn't wind up owning the paper after that, and makes Ebert be his personal hassock. Everybody just needs to relax and think about the larger picture. Unless you own a restaurant in the Chicago area, what difference is going to the series versus not going to mean to you? Nothing, unless you have such a small life that the only identity you have for yourself is dictated by the fate of your city's sports teams. I see enough of that in Pittsburgh ("oh, it'll be the Steelers' year this year, for sure!"), and it annoys me to no end.
