Three games on the South Side in one week can take it’s toll especially with the weather Chicago has had this past week. On Saturday Julie and I saw the White Sox crush the Dodgers 9-2. The White Sox blew the game wide open in the 4th inning with 6 runs including 2 off an Alex Rios Home Run.
Side Notes:
* The Nacho Helmets are kind of a big deal at White Sox games. Throughout the game we saw a steady stream of people in our section with them. I checked out the vendor station right out side our section and you can see by the images below how long the line was. I’m not sure of the cost but it didn’t seem to matter.
More info on Nacho Helmets are here.

*** If you attend multiple sports events in Chicago you’ll begin to notice that the same beermen work all the venues. I’ve so far noticed vendors at both Blackhawks and Cubs game as well as the White Sox games. Early this week during the White Sox – Indians game I noticed one beerman and I couldn’t place how I knew him and then we caught eyes (yes, I catch eyes with beermen), it turned out he’s the beerman that hangs out directly behind my section at the United Center during Blackhawks game. At this point I’m pretty sure Beerman in Chicago is a full time job.
