I’m in Chicago this week and next, so not a lot of activity till I get back to Cali. By the way, for you Illinoisans, WTF is up with how expensivo the toll roads have gotten here?

I’m a Cubs fan, but mad Chicago transplant shout-outs to the south-siders. The Sox are two games away from winning the _World Series_ (to steal a funny line from the Blue: it’s called the World Series of course because Canada plays too).
Do us all a favor: don’t fsck it up. After the Cubbies in [...]

One need only [...]

Cubs Win! Damn I wish I was back in my old apartment on Halsted in Wrigleyville. The street party would have been a blast. The only sad thing is that the Giants blew it this year. That would have been a great series.

Holy Cow. The Cubs are currently in first place. Their magic number is 5. The last time they won the NL Central division I think I was a Freshman in high school. That’s 1984 folks. Go Cubbies!
