No Time To Say Hello, Goodbye!

No time to talk today. I got a last minute call from my brother inviting me to Game 1 of Chicago's cross town classic. I'm going to see the World Champion (I love writing that) White Sox take on, and with all probability defeat the hapless Chicago Cubs.

At a later date we can delve deeper into the rivalry that splits the city into two hate filled, booze fueled camps. Right now I'll boil it down to this. Sox fans are real people. They come from all socio-economic backgrounds and seem to be better judges of what constitutes good baseball. Cubs fans are winy, privileged snobs who use Wrigley Field as a spot to network. They don't care what kind of team is on the field and take a perverse pride in "waiting until next year." I know that will infuriate my friends who love the Cubs, (I do have some, those poor misguided souls) but Championship rings talk, suckers walk. I'm getting my taunts ready for today.

Before I go, I would be remiss if I didn't remind you to listen to another of my shots at radio glory. Tomorrow, (Sat. May 20) I will be on WCKG Chicago's Free FM from 5 until 7pm. This is my second shot there. This time the station honchos have been wise enough to let me bring my own people for the show. I will be joined by my pal comedian/writer/cynical sueth sayer Mike Schmidt. It's going to be a great two hours of radio fun, so don't miss it! Gotta go, there's tailgating to be done. Have a great weekend. Later...Brian
