Yesterday Julie and I headed down to South Side for the White Sox – Red Sox game.  We got our tickets through the Blackhawks who were having a fan appreciation day (Julie’s got more on that here).  I was there for the baseball. The Sox ended up killing the Sox 12-2.

I must say the food, seats, views and most importantly bathrooms are 100 times better at US Cellular Field as compared to Wrigley Field.  Granted Wrigley is within walking distance to my house so that is why I probably end up at more Cubs games than Sox games.  This year I have probably seen more baseball games than in any other year, including games in 4 different cities.

I guess my point to all this is that I’m really glad Football Season has begun.

Sidenote:

* Julie and I were able to ‘parade’ around the field before the game as part of the Blackhawks event.  This is a photograph of us on the grass before the guy behind us threw us out.  Clearly we were not supposed to be on the grass.

** The View From My Seat:

*** Beermen on the South Side are a little rougher than their North Side counterparts.
