Street Corner or Ballpark, We'll Whip Yo' Butt
Nov 02, 2006 | 1:23PM | report this

I was stunned on monday morning when I went to MSN home expecting to see pictures and story on our glorious world series celebration on a warm sunny sunday.  Instead the feature article brandished a darker picture of the skyline over an unflattering barge and read,' The Most Dangerous City in America.'  I figure the AP articles source must have had Cubby/Tiger ties.  Who knows? 

I took a new perspective when riding up the elevator back from lunch.  After mentioning the championship to a friend, a female citizen with a gold tooth, she said, "How 'bout the most dangerous rankin'?"  I said, "Yeah, I thought I'd see celebration stuff when looked at the MSN news and sure enough they slander us."  She said, "Yeah!  Just when good stuff happens and everybody believes we can turn this thing around they take us down.  But you know what?  It's true!  You come to our ballpark, we'll whip yo' butt.  Come to our street corner, we'll whip yo' butt!"  We all laughed and high fived; suits with brief cases, secretaries, and plaintiffs.  It was cool.
