Friday White Sox blogging
Friday, Mar 18, 2005 - Posted by Rich Miller
I’m never going back. While that decrepit, dangerously crumbling, ought-to-be-bulldozed-into-the-lake antique on the North Side is jammed to sweaty over-capacity with wide-eyed surbanites, squealing tourists and drunk unemployed frat boys, the spacious, modern Sox Park is (not-so) filled with baseball fans, there to watch a game, not experience a mall-like “moment.” Throughout the season, we’ll be updating the team’s progress, featuring players and coaching staff and maybe (if I decide not to move back to Springfield) do some live blogging from the stadium (think I could get a press pass for that?). Meanwhile, here’s a little slice of Ozzie Guillen, another great reason to love the Sox.
Go Sox.

The school funding mess
Friday, Mar 18, 2005 - Posted by Rich Miller Big trouble ahead. Mayor Richard Daley called Thursday for Gov. Rod Blagojevich to take the lead in improving state funding for schools, marking the latest example of friction between the two Democrats. […] I really don’t see how the General Assembly passes a budget with just $140 million more for schools, as the governor has proposed. And here’s why: Daley said the $140 million in new spending for public schools included in the governor’s budget could leave Chicago with as little as $16 million in additional funding in 2006.

Slammed
Friday, Mar 18, 2005 - Posted by Rich Miller The Daily Southtown and the Tribune editorial pages both take up the subject of Governor Rod Blagojevich’s attack on Mayor Daley’s staff this week. From the Southtown: At times it appears that Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants some Democrat to step forward and challenge him in a primary next year when he’s up for re-election. And the Tribune: He might as well have criticized Daley for not telling the governor the state legislature was in session that day. Lobbyists, including the governor’s lobbyists, are paid to know what’s going on in the House and Senate at all times. It was silly of him to shift blame.
