It's on, Chicago.
I'm more than on record as a big fan of Chicago. I love the city and most of its people. I don't though; share the same respect and/or love for its sports teams. Specifically, the Cubs -- the team that most media in the Windy City have already placed in the 2008 World Series. Not so quickly.
You might have missed Jay Mariotti's Chicago Sun Times column from July 8. So, my dear Milwaukeeans, allow me to quote:
"But then, the frumpy hamlet to the north goes out and shocks us. Milwaukee finally splurges on more than a Friday fish fry and trades for one Carsten Charles Sabathia, which gives the Brewers a major-market payroll -- $90 million? -- and causes commissioner Bud Selig to upchuck his frozen custard. So momentous was the acquisition of the renowned pitching ace, Sabathia used his news conference Monday evening to delete the periods from his initials, meaning he'll be known as CC instead of C.C. ..."
"Frumpy hamlet to the north?" Come on, Jay, you can do better than that. Or, maybe you're just not that confident that your precious little Cubbies are in this thing to win it. We, in Milwaukee, are more sure of our Brewers!
The Brewers and Cubs face each other 10 times in the second half. We'll see who's there come October! Game on, Chicago.
