Meeks, who led a two-day boycott of Chicago Public Schools to highlight the funding disparity, is promising to have 6,000 protesters ringing Wrigley Field during next week's opening playoff game.

Daley, who happens to be a die-hard White Sox fan, says the city has waited a long time for the Cubs to become good enough to contend for a spot in the World Series. He said Meeks shouldn't disturb the team.

Meeks cut short his weeklong opening week boycott of Chicago Public Schools after two days to get a meeting with Gov. Blagojevich on the subject. But he said he's not about to call off the Wrigley protest.

Meeks said he is surprised Daley would put more emphasis on a game than on peoples' lives.
