Hell Yeah! That's how you win a 1 game playoff. Hats off to Sox fans for the full blackout (the only intimidating color-out) and getting on there feet for 2-2 counts in the first inning. The team rallied behind them and the place was rocking when Griffey JR gunned out whoever that was at the plate and when Big Jim hit an 800 foot home run. Seriously did you see that thing? That's a "F*** You!" homer if one ever existed.
Hats off to Johnny Danks and Mark Buerhle for throwing a combined 15 innings of 1 run ball on Sunday and Tuesday on short rest. I feel a lot better about the playoff rotation.
I neglected to mention (purposely because I didn't want to jinx it) I was at the Sox game on sunday. Sox fans are the most underrated in all of sports. Tailgaters before the game (won't see that Wrigley) and this: 6th inning of a 3-1 game some guy in a sailor get up tries to start the wave. He comes over and starts yelling us to get up. Immediately, everyone around us starts yelling "Sit down!" or "Take that sh*t to Wrigley!" or simply "Shut the f*** up!" I HATE the wave. HATE it. There is no quicker way to tell how disinterested or awful a fan base is by how much they enjoy the wave. In an unrelated story, the wave is quite common at Padres and Cubs games.
AJ Pierzynski is the man. The James Posey of baseball, only more so.
It was a good week for me. Sox rally to take the division, Michigan curb stomps Wisconsin's title dreams with one of the greatest comebacks ever (F*** you Bret Bielema! I f***ing hate you! I hate you so much!), and the Bears took down the Eagles with a goal line stand. This may have been the greatest 4 consecutive sports days of my life. And if you count my intramural football team's upset victory over the top team to move to 7-0, it's been the greatest sports week of my life. Take that Bob Cook.
Dennis Eckersley is on my TV analyzing baseball (I can't hear because I'm currently blasting 3OH!3, a great band you should check out) and he looks like a 70's porn star. I think Jason Giambi's attempt to bring back this look singlehandedly destroyed the Yanks' playoff hopes.
I will henceforth be known as Mr. Make It Rain On Them Hoes. Props to Lil Wayne for creating that. I don't know if that's intentionally hilarious, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Who's creepier: Samuel L. Jackson or that chocolate man from the new Axe commercials? The chocolate man haunts me every time I shut my eyes, but Jackson's performance in Lakeview Terrace taught me that if he I marry interracially, he will come to my house with a chainsaw and cut my plants. I'll give a slight edge to the chocolate man, because if I saw him I would freak out and try to kill him. If I saw Jackson I would simply avoid eye contact and not make any motions that display dominance.
That new movie with Michael Cera and the psycho daughter from 40 Year Old Virgin could not look less appealing. Both of them are utterly awful actors, who only play one whiny loser character a piece, and I know from experience that Michael Cera is a total douche. Seriously, a giant-mega-rolling down the street kind of douche.

It's funny you try to take a cheap shot at the cubs fans, when the white sox used towels at the one game playoff. Last time I was at a sox game the wave was prominent as well. Ive never seen the cubs fans do a wave, ever.
That is simply not true. Look at the bleachers and down the third baseline at Wrigley and at some point during the game you will see the wave. I specifically remember my friend's father, the legendary Dave Duxbury (a Red Sox fan) commenting on how disappointed he was to see that. I would be willing to bet I have been to more Sox games than any of my readers, and I have never seen it there.
While I don't love the towel, they were giveaways. Better than sitting on it.
95% of Cubs fans are complete garbage, perhaps you are part of the 5 that isn't but it doesn't change the fact that the other 95 are. Look at the game tonight in Wrigley. I see more North Face jackets than Cubs jackets. There isn't even a significant amount of Cubby blue. At Comiskey last night, you couldn't pick out anyone not decked out in Sox gear.
Seriously, just pay attention when the camera pans the stands tonight. How many "fans" are wearing Cubs gear (excluding hats which shouldn't count anyway because they are the cheapest, quickest thing to buy)? Ten percent maybe? It could be as low as five.
Yes, you are right. A fan can only be a "real" fan if they pay 45 dollars to have their team's logo on a jacket. Great logic. Let's say I'm a sox fan, but I decided to wear a jacket that actually keeps me warm. I, therefore, am a worse fan than the drunk guy behind me who just mistook Dewayne Wise for Michael Jordan (I swear to god, this actually happened). This man left in the fifth inning, buthe is a better fan than everyone according to your logic. Try again.
By the way, who the fu*# is Dave Duxberry, and why should I care? Ok I'm going to name drop someone you don't know now. Randy Shermer(a yankees fan) went to a white sox game and said that 98% of the fans seemed like they did not know how many outs there were throughout the game. He was very dissappointed. did you make that guy up? Why should anyone care about Dave Duxberry?!
"A fan can only be a "real" fan if they pay 45 dollars to have their team's logo on a jacket." Not what I said. However, a real fan wears his team's jacket to a crucial game. Or a real fan wears his team's jersey to a crucial game. Or a real fan wears his team's shirt to a crucial. A real fan wears their team colors on their sleeves. Cubs fans buy a hat on the way in from the parking lot so they don't look too ridiculous in their khakis and abercrombie shirt. It also compliments their outfit.
How could you honestly in good conscience as a sports fan defend the complete lack of team pride? You are defending the people who show up to PLAYOFF games in North Face jackets. Those people are a disgrace. Anyone who considers themself a fan would never show up to a PLAYOFF game without at least a team shirt. Maybe you're one of the North Face people though. Funny thing about Cubs fans, the worst ones are often the loudest.
More evidence that Cubs fans suck: Cubs fans completely quit on their teams in games 1 and 2 after going down early. Down 2 runs in game 1 and you could feel the stadium go dead.
More evidence: You are a cubs fan and are clearly an irrational moron. Thank you for proving my point.
I am almost positive the drunk comparing Dewayne Wise to MJ was being sarcastic. That's clearly over your head though because, once again, you're a Cubs fan and a moron. Are you starting to see a theme here?
Does it really matter who Dave Duxbury is? Perhaps he'll come up in a later story, perhaps not. If you want to ignore my anecdotal evidence as lies, that's fine. Stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and pretend that Cubs fans don't do the wave all the time/ quit on their team/ own a single legitimate piece of team clothing/ only go to Cubs games because it's chic to get hammered by the Ivy, that's fine. But in order to get those fingers in your ears, you're going to have to pull your thumb out of your ass.
Oh and one more question: how do my balls taste?
