Ahhhhh Baseball. I luuuuuv Baseball. I’m especially looking forward to this weekend. Why? I’m glad you asked. It’s the Windy City Classic! The Chicago White Sox vs. The Chicago Cubs. Does it get any better than this? Well, it would’ve if the Bulls would have won last night but that’s another story. My boys in black are heading to Wrigley Field to battle those loveable losers. The Sox come in with a series win over the Yankees while the Cubs lost a heartbreaker yesterday to the Mets. Did I tell you that I love baseball? Now, I know that many of you do not share my passion for baseball. However, there is a glaring fact that goes hand in hand with baseball. It’s SUMMER time boys and girls. (I know it’s not officially summer but you know what I mean.) When baseball comes around it brings with it cook outs, beach days, and good old family fun. Not to mention all the great food. (This was added especially for Rebecca.) Who doesn’t love a ballpark hot dog? Add grilled onions and you have a small slice of heaven. Add to that a win for your favorite team and its bliss; that is until they lose. Pool parties, Volleyball, a game of flashlight tag, the options are endless. Sunshine until 8:30pm and then a blazing bonfire at night. However, if you invite Doug be sure to have an extra chair around as one usually ends up broken and in the fire. So, I say three cheers for the boys of summer and three cheers for baseball. But then again, Football is right around the corner….
HOORAY Baseball
HOORAY BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I hope I haven’t bored the hell out of you.
P.S.S. Sox win 2 out of 3 at Wrigley…

Holy Crap this is the best blog yet...
Way to blog Jimmer. Hooray for guest blogging!
I hate the Cubs......not mildly I ad, but with an intensity that is reserved only for televangelists, Toby Keith, The entire Bush clan, Harvey Firestien, and Carney's (little hands). So it please's me to no end that you too share my love of the Southsiders. Better Park, Better fans, Better parking, Better food, and Better team (except for today thanks to Mike McDougal and his Freakishly Red Hair).
Correction.... It is known as "The Crosstown Classic" dating back to the 80's when early in the season the two teams would play an exibition on an May off day for both team. This will be the first year I will not be able to attend ONE game.
Enjoy the hate, for a rivalry would require one of the contestents to be good.
I can't believe I called it the Windy City Classic...I'm a tool. Thanks for the correction Darren.
I guess I was off I my prediction...Freakin' David Aardsma...
McDougal and his freakishly red hair? How bout his freakish wind-up - that throws a crazy pitch.
OMG - seriously - Jimmer I didn't even catch your misnomer...no points to me for editing. Although, I was having such a rough day that day I think I just did a cut, paste, post without more than a quick once over.
Oh, and I am the anonymous person that posted...
