I sat with the American Outlaws Friday night and I was very impressed with everyone’s behavior. I had some similar concerns about xenophobia, etc. before the game, but it was a rowdy, fun atmosphere.

Yeah the Bartman mythos is much more of a media-driven thing.  

My mom 100% would’ve left my dad for Mark Grace.

Snickers rules. I’ve heard it was a favorite of Larry Bird’s back in the day, when he came to town.

I live over on Southport and I’m prepared to have to go out to Roscoe Village in the event my local spots are already packed.

Redmond’s is one of the like, five Wrigleyville bars that I like.

Yeah there’s already a line out the door for Nisei. I’m guessing anything east of Ashland, south of Montrose and north of Diversey is gonna be slammed.

Unless they’re from Iowa or maybe Indiana, most of those Big Ten transplants are still Brewers/Tigers/Indians/Reds fans.

I was (am?) a big fan of D Rose, and I have absolutely no idea how to feel about this. The whole situation is bad.

Nobody outside of Washington gives a shit about the national debt.

All I can think of when I hear about the Microsoft tablets is Jay Cutler calling them “knockoff iPads” in a press conference a few years ago.

Settle down, Beavis.

What’s wrong with pastel shorts and Sperrys?

Fucking Theriot. I think the reason I was such a big Starlin Castro fan was because Theriot said something like “he’ll have to come and take it” in regards to Castro taking over short stop. Well, Castro came and took it, and I loved him for it.

My family moved to the Chicago are when I was little, so I was basically able to pick between the Cubs and Sox on my own without any sort of multi-generational family rooting history.. I suspect I was guided into becoming a Cubs fan because my mom had a crush on Mark Grace.

Well this was certainly half-assed. Thank you, I guess.

Despite winning three Stanley Cup finals, Joel Quenneville regularly falls to this affliction. Not that I can complain about the results, but it can be baffling since it seems like he should be better than that.

They’re the ghost of Christmas future for the Chicago Bulls.

Yeah Marion Barber cost the Bears a win against the Tebow-led Broncos because he couldn’t fucking stay in bounds.

How about Natrone Means? Remember that guy?
