The Good Guys in October



Had to include some talking turds.






Well, the irony continues. With me out of the country, Chicago Sports has finally become respectable. Like the Illini and Bulls before them, the White Sox are having a miracle year in my absence. Don't feel sorry for me though. I'm watching and celebrating every win. To preserve the intensity, I cut myself off from the world on the day of the game. I avoid all my sports websites, emails and even CNN because of their tiny update ticker. It's much easier to avoid hearing sports outcomes here than it was in my delivering days. After my ridiculous 12 hour days, I come home, invite my few friends over and cue up the game on MLB TV. Best 80$ I ever spent. It's nice that since American sports are so hard to find here, people will root passionately for whatever team is playing. Last night, I was at a bar with a bunch of British boys watching England's soccer team and, for one night, I was a die-hard fan. I've converted a Cardinals' fan, a Canadian and a Korean into White Sox fans. After the game 1 pounding, we even celebrated with some drunken midnight BBall. For one night, I was home. I still miss watching the games with all of you, pounding beers and yelling insults at the TV. David Wells large pathetic face was a major target of mine. How sweet was it to watch the champs and their bullshit "nation" near tears? Most of all, I with I could watch the games with Chicagoland's millions of Cubs fans. I wonder if the bars even pu the SOX games on. It's probably not good for business. hahahhahaprior'sfinishedhahahhahah. The march continues. No more Marte, he's done like the Red Sox. Rowand's my pick to click. Talk about an inspiration. Grinders forever. That's one milestone in the books, next chapter: World Series.

What makes you White Sox fans so damn bitter towards Cubs fans? Is it the fact that the Cubs are home to the Wrigleyville area? The north side? That we're not stuck in the ghetto? Is it the fact that we have more fans despite the fact that we haven't won a world series in over a century? Or is it just the publicity that the Cubs get over the Sox?

And how the fuck are Chicago sports on top of the world? Who knows what the Bulls are going to do after that magical year (esp. w/out Curry); the Bears are terrible; the Cubs are embarrassing; all that Chicago has now are the Sox and maybe the Blackhawks (does hockey even exist?). You all need to pull your head's out of your asses and come visit reality for a bit...

Don't worry though, our time will come as a dominant sports city but don't count your chicks before they're hatched, you fetus eaters!

Dear anonymous,
I'd say the Cubbie hate stems more from the publicity than anything else. Think about the Yankees, everyone in the world either loves or hates the Yankees because MLB shoves them down your throat. It's a similar thing (to a lesser degree) with the Cubs these days. As for Chicago Sports, I would say our rise in certain sports would go un-noticed by many towns, but not to us. One team in the Playoffs in a year is a miracle. Two is damned exciting. And the Bulls are going to be alright. I've been running some plays and stats in my head and, believe it or not, we might benefit from the loss of Curry. If you take away his scoring, he was a lump of shit that slowed down our offense and our defense. Micheal Sweetney actually shot a better percentage and can outrebound the unreboundable Curry with his arms tied behind his back. Chandler will be more active too. The only thing I'm scared of is a CHandler injury. Eh, it's too early to be talking Bulls Bball, I have Playoff games to win.
