"You're high, shut up."

Cooler...where ya been?

George insists that he's a Chicago baseball fan, but he just doesn't sound that way.

Cooler, I am disappointed. After all the travel and searching the best you could come up with were a half dozen Lo Duca shots? Don't get me wrong, they are nice, but I expect a volume.

It's puzzling that Bernsie is a Sox fan. He has Cub douchebag written all over him.

This is an interesting observation. I attribute Bernstein's identification with the Sox to the era in which he grew up. His formative years occurred at the same time that the Sox switched their broadcasts to pay television. While this was obviously a disastrous marketing move for the Sox, it likely appealed to a budding North Shore elitist like Bernstein, who now revels in an ethos of conspicuous consumption. When the Sox turned their broadcasts into a commodity--rather than an easily accessible form of entertainment available to the hoi polloi, like the Cubs games--Bernstein's fate as a Sox fan was probably sealed. He undoubtedly saw the unavailable nature of their broadcasts to the "blue collar" fan as an attractive trait since having his parents subscribe to ON Tv allowed him to distinguish himself from the filthy masses while still enjoying baseball.
