Ladies and gentleman, I give you the most reviled man in Chicago:




Perhaps the curse is real? Knock on wood, I guess. After all, I still think baseball is boring, but I find the sociology of the whole situation -- two cursed teams with the potential of playing each other in a World Series -- fascinating, making me watch a few games and understand baseball a little more. I'm finding myself rooting for the Cubs. How about that.

All I know is that today is my 29th birthday, and I'm going to be hard pressed to find a bar tonight that isn't chock full of choads.

SIDENOTE: Why to they call it the World Series? Japan and Mexico have professional baseball -- if it's a World Series, shouldn't the all out winning team here have to play the all out winner of Japan? I guess pointing out this bit of arrogance means I hate America. Sorry, Mr. Scarborough.

SIDENOTE 2: Why do we call ourselves "America" when the United States is only one country that comprises North America, and there are two other Americas? I guess pointing out this bit of arrogance means I hate the United States. Sorry, Mr. O'Reilly.
