How the fuck are you supposed to eat that in a stadium seat?


When we took our Cubs trip to San Diego (Petco), we had an extra ticket from someone backing out. We just scalped it outside the stadium. So of course the guy that bought the ticket from the scalper is sitting next to us. He looked like something out of the 70’s right down to the facial hair and retro jersey.

In any case, the stadium had some promotion where you could buy five food items for $5. Most people would do that if they were with some buddies or a family. But this loner brought all of them back to the seat. It was something like a candy bar, hot dog, pop corn, pretzel, and I don’t know what else. He sits down and proceeds to lose control of his five items and drops them onto the concrete floor. The look of disappointment in his eyes was evident, but at least it only cost him five bucks. Plus the candy bar could be salvaged as it was wrapped.


The Dennis I know would have gave him a fin.

I'm optimistic that I might get to see something like this at a Sox game this year.

No game until the safe calendar call up day for me then.

But it feels like I will be at a couple in his first home series.

His confidence is probably irrevocably broken from this demotion.

Who was the last homegrown White Sox position player to make an All-Star team? Crede?

I don't count him since he didn't play in the WS minor league system.

Narvaez, even though he won't be wearing a Sox unform at the 2019 or 2020 AS Game.

More Section 108 nonsense. What's to be depressed about? They can't draft and they can't make shrewd trades. Other than that, things are looking peachy. :(
