Accord Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Joe Morgan asked D-Lee the difference between playing in Chicago and playing in Florida and he said the fans. He said Chicago is a baseball town and Miami isn't, and every game at Wrigley has a playoff atmosphere and in Florida they had a hard time getting fans to come out and the fans don't support the team.

Stag5 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I was never a big fan of D. Lee but nothing he said was off-base or incorrect. That being said he should have said the Cubs fans support their teams each and everyday and left it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureGM Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 While watching the Home Run Derby tonight, Derrek Lee was asked what the difference was between playing in Miami, and playing in Chicago. Lee responded "In Florida, the fans wouldn't come out to support the team. In Chicago, every game is a sellout, and I always feel like we're playing playoff ball." Didn't make me like him any more.

TSwift25 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Not the first time he's burned bridges here *cough* 2002 *cough*. He's a good player overachieving, I can't wait until he comes back to his .280 career average and the "great" Chicago fans turn on him. :thumbdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musk Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 dude, the guy spoke 100% truth. our baseball fans (and even our football fans) are NOTHING compared to chicago fans. PERIOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
