"Say what you will about Barack Obama, but I love him, if just for one reason. When asked about his favorite baseball team, he said, 'Oh, that’s easy. White Sox. I’m not one of these fair weather fans. You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there. People aren’t watching the game. It’s not serious. White Sox, that’s baseball. Southside.' This is exactly what we Cardinals fans think about Cubs fans. Because it’s true. It’s nice to have someone rooting against the Cubs in the White House." More...

i will do what i can to not hold this against our president.
Leitch forgot to include Obama's next line:
"White Sox, that's baseball. Southside. That's America. Where else can you catch nine innings and either a nasty case of herpes off the toilet seat or a shiv in the gut as you walk to your car? US Cellular Field: yes you can."
KSC
i (heart) KSC.
With all due respect to Cade and KSC, you are much more likely to catch "the herp" or any other nasty bugger of an STD at the Fratboy proving grounds and pre-drunken-orgy binge fest that is Wrigley Field and the surrounding "ville".
Regarding the shiv in the gut however . . . yeah, Southside. Can't deny that one.
i've heard there are some nasty foot-o-files in wrigleyville too.
at least that's the word on the street.
I can positively confirm that there are "footophiles" in Wrigleyville, and they are on the hunt.
OK, I'm sick of the mythology that White Sox fans know the game while Cubs fans just enjoy the experience. Has anyone actually been to the Cell? I once went to a game between the Red Sox and the Chisox and these two drunks behind me spent the whole game literally screaming that the Cubs suck. Really?! That's your model of fanhood? It's sort of like the ugly step-sister in the family. She doesn't have a lot going for her in other areas, but at least she's a decent cook - so all of a sudden she is hailed by the entire family as "the family cook" even though objectively her better looking older sister is at least as good if not better as a cook.
That probably doesn't make sense. At least O'bama is a Bears fan. That shows at least a measure of good judgment.
