Pretty much every team gives staff a WS ring. They don't receive the same one as players. There are tiers in quality. |

Yeah. You work for the team you get a ring basically. I think they were saying the other day there are various tiers of rings so while he might get a ring it is probably not the same level of ring as the players or management is getting. |

I think I heard somewhere that there are different tiers of rings and all staff members receive something. I'm shocked nobody has brought that up here yet. |

Did Speigel complain that he didn't get a ring for ripping off Hand Jive for the new Cubs/WSCR theme song? Oh, I've heard there are different tiers of rings. Will confirm ASAP. |

I tried - again. I'm out. Parkins and his repetitive annoying "underSHtand" did it. Does he do this on purpose? Kap & Company for me. Or maybe I'll wait until the Theo EpSHtein interview is over? |

I've heard Jud Sirott (Blackhawks Pre & Post Game WGN Radio guy) often speak of his three Stanley Cup Rings he has received. |

From what I can tell the Cubs have a full-sized WS trophy. I was at a Sox event last year and they had the trophy out. It looked awfully small and I was told that theirs was about 2/3 the size of a normal one because of the flukey nature of their win. |

One is fluky, one is not. |

He went 2 innings and gave up 3 ER before the historically good Sox team chased him from the game like the bitch that he is. |

i noticed what appeared to be a size difference also. IIRC, since 2005, the league tweaked the design of the trophy. specifically the flags, i believe. not sure it has anything to do with how it was won. |

The Cubs only had to face Bumgarner once because of the silly play-in game. Cleveland was missing their best pitcher and their best position player and the Cubs still needed 7 games, a dropped fly ball, and a rain delay to beat them. Meanwhile, the White Sox didn't even need a bullpen in the ALCS. You cannot compare to the Cubs to a historical great team. It simply does not work. The Cubs are a great story, but they are not a historically great team like the 2005 White Sox were. I am sorry if you cannot understand this fact. |
