My kind of town, Chicago is...

Where did I leave them damn sunglasses?
Ohhhhh, ya.

I'm going to monopolize Walter on one of those days, as I will probably have tickets to Wrigley Field. Hopefully it will be a better day -- and a better game -- than the time I took Thomas to see the Cubs play.

I'm still not sure about the rules re offside with baseball

(But I will learn all it until then - the Paderborn Untouchables are thirds in our First Federal Division, the Lippstadt Ochmonds are playing in a lower division.)

I was in Chicago in early December and I almost froze my ass off. Gimme sunny Southern Cal any day!

Relax, Walter. There are only three rules that matter when you watch a game in Wrigley Field, and none of them have to do with baseball.

1) Wear a Cubs hat, not a Cardinals hat.

2) When ordering beer, make sure it's Old Style, not Budweiser. Budweiser is made in Saint Louis, so it's associated with the Cardinals. (I'm not sure what the Cubs fan's obsession with the Cardinals comes from. Perhaps it's winning-the-world-series envy.)

3) Wear warm clothes. It can be freezing cold in Wrigley field, especially when the game is long.

There was a fourth rule governing the appropriate snack to order, but I have forgotten it.

There are rules of baseball too, but they're hard to explain in writing. The best way to learn them is to watch a game and watch when Joefromchicago cries (in the direction of the umpire: "oh come on", "you've gotta be kidding", etc.

That happens a lot at Cubs games. It's always the umpire's fault.

I went to a Cubs game with joe a few months ago. I heard him yell other things that are even more informative about how baseball is played. I can quote them here but I doubt joe would give me permission.
