There's Always Another Century

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

The Longest Season

In professional sports begins with high expectations for some. For us Cubs fans, we are glad to be back where we belong. Being surprised by playoff appearances... I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Get Your Dunkin Monday

What a lovely weekend! The lady's folks came into town and we hung out with them pretty much the whole time including a trip to Cafe Bar Bar Reeba and Harry Caray's. Nom nom nom. Bar bar was fantastic as we tried out new dishes, downed Sangria and laughed while introducing her parents to Spanish tapas. It was hilarious to hear her mom react to specific dishes "Oh no I don't like that" and it was great to see how much they got into the entire experience. We will definitely be going again. Other than that on Sunday we were able to get up early and get in our grocery shopping. We have become pros at Trader Joe's making the trip quite enjoyable. Thanks to Insanity we know what to get and how much to get as well...more about Insanity later, however the lady broke her camera, so no pics (insert sigh of relief here). Here are your highlights: Losing faith in America's future An answer to your transportation woes? Goodbye Sweet Lou - the Hall of Fame awaits, than...

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...

Priorities in Chicago * Sigh

These are top stories in Chicago: 15 year old struck by by three bullets in Roseland Search on for Wrigley beer tosser As the violence in Chicago gets worse and worse, the other priority and lead story in Chicago is that police are wasting their time over some drunk asshole at a sports event. Obviously these deserve equal amount of time, news attention and effort on the city's part....*Sigh I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Get Your Dunkin' Friday

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c Irandecision 2009 - The Oppression of House Republicans thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Jason Jones in Iran more Iranian news Well hello Friday. I have a ton of work to do today, so today will probably include only short tidbits here and there. Apparently some people did not like my take on the 9-11 dot com stalling the Ground Zero rebuild. I stick by what I say, there is a bigger picture to the thoughts of America then and some would prefer to keep it that way. In a completely unrelated personal note, I am going to another wedding this weekend in good ole central IL and the bride and groom will be Mr. and Mrs. Rural King . Here are your highlights: Cubs WIN, wish I was not at work when this went down , best part of my day was getting off the El and a ton of dejected Sox fans were getting heckled. Their witty response, "We have a championship!" Wow. Still living in 2005 and 1985, the South Side. ...
