Baseball is back

I admit it. I know nothing about any sport. Don't know the terms, don't understand any of it and I'm not ashamed. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a good party. And no one can party like Chicago sports fans.

No matter how poorly our teams have been doing for what seems like forever now, Chicagoans are there ready to raise their beer glasses to them. Hence, it was no surprise that during our live broadcast with Eric and Kathy from the MIx, at the Harry Carry's Tavern on Sheffield this morning, Cubs fans were ready at the bar at 7AM.

Granted, they had to wait for the booze because the bar was not allowed to sell alcohol until seven. But when the imaginary bell rang, they were there with their livers ready to start the legendary partying.

Come to think of it, when you are a faithful fan of a perpetually losing team, you need a drink or two to make it through and keep the faith. And that goes for the Sox too. I'm a fan of both and of neither. I'm just an observer. Let's play ball and drink up.
