The Side Bar was about half full of Cubs fans the last two nights. Most of them left way before the ninth with their little hopeless stubby bear tails between their legs. My favorite one wore a blue hat with the white little bear on it . It had an autograph black sharpied on the bill but I didn't even ask.
My favorite part was when Kerry Wood came in for relief last night. Insult to paulsy, no?
I'd like to say I could sympathize, but your drought is wierd. It's beyond consolation. I can place a fathom on the frustration but it's so gross to even peak at that I felt the roots of my hair on my head loosen when I did. I hope you all appreciate how hard...how Great it is...to win not just the central, but the world series. Maybe next year?
Soriano is great. Big time player. Swings at good pitches. Very professional.
I went to Town Lounge in O'Fallon, IL for a coaches meeting last tuesday. At the bar a players dad, from Chicago, told of how he and his son would be traveling to Soldier Field to see the Bears play the Packers on sunday. He removed his coat revealing a White Sox sweat shirt. Not a World Series Champs logo just the falling S-O-X on his chest. With a tone of congratulations and relief I asked, "Lifetime Sox fan?"
He lives downtown St.Louis and works as a steel pipe salesman. Matt grew up just accross the river in Illinois playing football, baseball, and basketball. He's a lifetime member of Cardinal Nation, Ram's fan, and all basketball fan. When the local teams are playing a meaningful game he's usually in attendance.
