History lessen: Teams doing WGN disservice by taking their games elsewhere

An awkward moment awaits Cubs fans after the team’s first home victory next season.

They’ll be singing “Go, Cubs, Go” and waving their “W” flags when they get to the line “Baseball time is here again, you can catch it all on WGN.”

Then they’ll stop and realize that they can’t.

Sports are giving WGN their two weeks’ notice today. After the Cubs make their last appearance Sept. 27 and the Sox make theirs Sept. 28, the games will take their balls and pucks and go elsewhere. It’s nothing personal, they say. It’s strictly business. And they’re right.
