True. The Chicago media may be a pack of jackals compared to the Cincinnati media but they can be somewhat tough as well. I'd liken them to a bunch of old ladies living in a small town all related to each other who gossip. Usually gossip doesn't do anyone any harm but sometimes things are said that people don't like and then problems ensue.
I think Big Dust's biggest problems are going to be with Cowboy and Franchester. Now Cowboy loves him some Dusty but he's also someone who will criticize players - especially pitchers. I see a lot of potential conflict there.
