John Cusack - Cubs and White Sox fan???

November 15, 2005 by diana

Did anyone see John Cusack on the Letterman show last night?

He spoke of his problem getting White Sox World Series tickets.

He said he is both a Cubs and White Sox fan. He remembers the South Side Hit Men of 1977 and even made a movie about the White Sox.

Yet the White Sox still wouldn't arrange for him to get tickets.

I suspect the real reason the Sox didn't offer him tickets was that commercials for the Cubs tv broadcasts that they play over and over showing Cusack at Wrigley joyfully cheering a Cubs play. If White Sox brass only saw it once it probably would've have stuck with them - but seeing it over and over and over probably made a bit of a Cubbie blue impression on them.

The Letterman show has a review of last night's program here:

It probably won't remain available for long, so check it now if you're truly interested.

Happy Birthday Sammy Sosa!

November 17, 2005

Free-agent infielder Geoff Blum, who won Game 3 of the World Series for the White Sox with a tiebreaking, two-out solo home run in the 14th inning at Houston, agreed Wednesday to return to the San Diego Padres.

Blum goes home to Padres

By Mark Gonzales
Tribune staff reporter
Published November 17, 2005

Blum had expressed a desire to stay with the Sox shortly after the World Series, but San Diego is a one-hour drive from San Clemente, where he lives with his wife and four children younger than 2.

"You've reached world champion diaper-changer Geoff Blum," was the greeting on Blum's cell phone. His wife, Kory, gave birth to triplets May 3.

A ring and a prayer
Adviser to White Sox GM shares blessing at Mayor's annual breakfast

Sample from article...

But sometimes even successful general managers are surprised by the players they obtain. For example, Hemond - upon seeing the diminutive Guillen in person for the first time during spring training 1985 after trading for him - recalls going back to his office and exclaiming, "Oh my gosh. I think we traded for a jockey."

Quote from BILL ZWECKER's column in the Sun Times...

John Cusack and a few pals dropped by Jonathan Segal's new Minnie's eatery in Lake View after the Cubs-Sox game Sunday.

Was he spotted on TV? Was he seen cheering for the Cubs or White Sox?
Just curious...

Cusack gets VIP treatment at inauguration

I noticed that John Cusack was at the inauguration yesterday.

Thought it was just because he is a White Sox fan, as is the new President.

This explains how he became a VIP at the inauguration.
