Tribune Special Delivery for Cubs

If your Tribune isn't on your front stoop this morning, it's probably because you're part of the vast majority of Chicagoans who are smart enough not to subscribe. But the suckers who do subscribe also woke up to find themselves Tribuneless, because the Tribune delayed its deadlines and postponed delivery in order to get late news into the paper about its precious Cubbies.

I don't remember them doing that for the White Sox in 2005, do you? We were playing in Anaheim — and that was the championship series — and we seem to remember lots of late nights and even one game that ended the morning after it started, but the Tribune was perfectly content to deliver newspapers devoid of late breaking White Sox news. And those were victories it was not reporting. Oh, but no, there's no bias.
