There's Always Another Century

Image
And insert other stupidly pathetic Cubs jokes here. Only one team wins each year, it's just taken us longer to get back there. Insert your next lame Cubs joke here. Feel better? The season has begun and this one feels more like a Cubs season. I don't have any high expectations nor am I waiting for every word to come out of the managers mouth. In fact I can't even recall the last time I heard the Cubs' manager speak. I think that's fine because that's how being a Cubs fan really goes (for me at least and no I'm not fairweather, I'll still follow the Cubs and see plenty games). I know it's hard for those neanderthal and small-minded South Siders to comprehend, but there's more to the game than simply winning. I am Frank Chow and I'm okay with waiting another year

Get Your Dunkin Tuesday

I'm defeated today and it's only 9am. Perhaps I should have spiked my coffee and pulled a Charlie Sheen ..."tiger blood" I'm stealing that one. Here are your highlights: Cubs invite fans to audition for live announcer Big WOWO UFC Round Up It's not 1981 The GOP isn't serious about fixing health care in America . I wish people in the mediauh would realize that. Support the Fat Cats The modern right wing embraces their idiocy and hate. Ex. Pam Geller Chow!

Selling Out Wrigley Field

Image
(proposal illustration via the Chicago Tribune) This is not a good idea : The Chicago Cubs, in search of new advertising revenues, have asked the City of Chicago for permission to erect a 360-square-foot billboard above the left-field bleachers at Wrigley Field, an alderman said Wednesday. The proposed sign would be 74 feet above the ground, altering the look of the team's historic stadium. Because Wrigley Field is designated a landmark, new signage has to receive governmental approval. The Sun-Times first reported that the Cubs have filed a permit application with the city. While the city has approved signage on the outfield walls and on the brick wall down the third base line, the proposed billboard is "definitely new territory," said Ald. Tom Tunney (44th ward), who oversees the ward where Wrigley Field is located. The height of the signage will be a concern, he said. Tunney wants to make sure the proposed billboard will not block fans' views of the surrounding nei...

Hawk to the Hall of Fame

Congrats to Andre Dawson being elected into the Hall of Fame . All by himself too! One of my fondest childhood memories was the first Cubs game I ever attended. I think I was 9 or so. I can recall the smells of the game, the sight of the Ivy and the striped uniforms the Cubs wore that day. We were way up in the nose bleeds, but the memory of the entire experience is what keeps me going to the games to this day. The crack of the bat. The yelling by the vendors. And the roar from the crowd bouncing off the buildings on Sheffield and Waveland. There really is no feeling like it. Dawson was the hero of the game that day, he hit a two run shot against the Phillies late in the game, while also sealing my fate as lifelong Cubs fan. It is nice to see Dawson, the man who defines Cubs players for me, finally get his due. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Get Your Dunkin Monday- Mother's Day Edition

I am older! And it was Mother's Day! And my gf graduated! And EXCLAMATION POINTS. The weather in Chicago is back to fall 40's and it is a pain in my sinuses. I have come to the conclusion next month will be wedding month and if you aren't doing anything this weekend, here is an idea . Did I mention I am going to the Cubs game tomorrow ? Now that is a bday present. My mind is all over the place, oh Monday... Here are your highlights: Faulty Logic of Tea Baggers , it doesn't get simpler than this Boxing Round-Up , finally Tarver can shut up....yeah right and monkeys might fly out of my butt Iran Journalist released , phew Krugman on recent healthcare news, "it's good news." Word of Warcraft addicts meet your new home Stay classy Chris Brown stay classy Edwards campaign staff planned a sabotage? Awesome, that is so 24. Wanda Sykes didn't go too far , she was mocking the vile Rush Limbaugh who called Obama a terrorist for two years and still does, he call...

Monday, Wow Chicago

Monday and more rain and mugginess. I know April is supposed to mean showers, but not fall weather temperatures. Great weekend though and here are the highlights. Japanese screamo band FACT totally rock and wear scary masks. Unfortunately they were just injured in an accident on their first US tour and went back to Japan to recover. All the best to FACT . The lady friend and I went to the Cubs game on Saturday. Amazing . John Boehner still stupid . the MMA will always be second to Boxing with a CEO who doesn't appreciate the "science" and "craft" of his fighters. Styles make fights . Napolitano clarifies the DHS report on rightwing extremists and veterans. Krugman on Ireland and us. And welcome back to blogging Padraig, A Moveable Feasta . CHOW!
