Ten years burnin
My it has been a while since my last post. Happy thanksgiving to those here in America.. and Merry Christmas to all those in Canada (a place where football is already over for the year, as BC has defeated Montreal at a downright freezing stadium in Winnipeg in the 94th Grey Cup).

Tavern Review: South Loop Club
The South Loop Club Located at 701 South State Street, the South Loop Club is one of the few watering holes in the area. Its a small sports-bar style tavern with a confusing and uncomfortable seating arragnement. The times I've been there, its filled with a mix of locals, students, tourists and post-...

How Long Has It Been?
since I've had sex? I dunno. I stopped counting the days. I thought I had a shot last friday, the MILF went out drinking with some gal pals, but sadly Aunt Flo stopped by just prior. Maybe next week.The Sox are not playing well enough right now to win the division. Seventeen games into the most impor...

Afterglow Part 2
Just got home from a late softball game under the lights. I played my best game of the year. 3 for 3 with 3 runs scored, I hustled around the basepaths and made some good plays out in right center. I even gunned down two runners going to third. I'm totally charged up. What a great fuckin game. Sadly,...

21 Days
Beginning August 7th, the Sox entered the most important 3 week stretch of the entire season. Its a 'make it or break' period in which the Sox play every day - 21 games- against the best and more important teams. Of those 21 games, 14 are at home. As I write this, the Sox are already 4-2 during the s...

Gloating bout Gload
Ross Gload's 9th inning, one-out grand slam on friday night marks the turning point of the 2006 Sox season. A game that was lost suddenly was won, and a long losing streak is now 2-game winning streak. I still think Ozzie needs to shuffle the line-up and move Thome down to the 5 or 6 spot, but I thin...

Weekend Update
I'm up late working from home... so that will tell you pretty much how my weekend went.I was a wee tiny bit hungover on saturday morning. Not a good thing when you have to be outside at 9 in the morning and its 90 degrees with 99% humidity at 9 in the morning. A few cokes and McDonalds set me right. ...

Watch This Space
I've been buried at the salt mines... so no updates lately.It was nice to see the Sox finally win today. Matt Thornton is coming along nicely. A turnaround like the one Thornton experienced from Seattle to Chicago makes you realize what a great pitching coach Don Cooper is...The fucking Mariners didn...

Forks
Put a fork in the Sox - they're done.For me, the entire season cam down to the 5th inning of friday night's game against the Minnesota Twins. With the Sox up 3-0, 2 runners on base and 2 outs, Konerko hit a deep drive that just missed being a home run. It wound up being an out. So instead of going in

'Best of Southside Adventures' Part 2
Originally posted March 6 2006I was reading on Stosh's blog about his encounter on a bus last week with the Mekons Sally Timms, and got to thinking about the Mekons, and how, despite growing up a huge music fan in the 1980s, I've never heard any of the Mekons records. It did, however, remind me of that great song "If I Was A Mekon" by Too Much Joy from their oft...

Opportunity Rocks!
'Its not what you know, its who you know'.A very true statement. As proof, I called in a favor to a good old friend, and it now appears that I have an opportunity to get my foot in the door of the world of professional baseball. I can't discuss specifics, but suffice to say its unpaid, but not low-level grunt (or PR) work. I'll know more this spring. If this works...

If today is tuesday, this must be Kansas City
I just have no imagination today - work drained the life out of me.Things are pretty quiet on the Southside. But its hot out, damn hot. I'm drinking a Special Ex tall boy and watching the Sox try to beat the Royals in KC. The Sox had 2nd and 3rd with none out in the 6th and failed to score. Pathetic.I have a new tavern review written, but am waiting until I can get my Hello...
