Sox Day at The Taste of Chicago

Featured Replies

Well this morning, at 8 am, my parnets woke me up and told me we were having a "family day" in Chicago which included going to the taste. Let's just say I wasn't too happy since today was my first day off of work in a long time and I was planning on hanging out with my girlfriend. At about noon I realized that it was White Sox day as I was flipping through the program. I only waited in line about 45 minutes, most of the time in the shade so it wasn't too bad. Willie seemed like an ass but Freddy was nice and so was B-Mac.

 

What time did you actually get in line?

It was about 12. I was out of line at 12:45, I thought it was moving nicely.

Crap, I got there at 11:20 and it looked like a 2 hour line to me......and it was crawling. Hope you got all 3 autographs.

Has anyone on this board ever been impressed after meeting him?

He was talkin on his phone the whole time and just signed a bunch of his picture things before people got there and just handed them to us as we walked by. Seemed really cocky.

That makes it sound like he didn't want talk to or deal with anyone. Haha, what a lazy punk. Get rid of the ego, Willie. You're not that good. Try hitting the ball out of the infield sometime instead of grounding out to the 2nd baseman every friggin' AB.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to say that. :bang

I got there about 10:45 today...the line was a breeze...They showed up around 11:25...I was out of there by 11:35...The line was a breeze. In fact, the people in front of me went back in line 3 times. I went in once...Freddy Garcia signed a card of mine..told him he pitched a great game and good luck....he said thank you.. Willie gave me one of those pictures...I told him nice play yesterday...He said thanks man but ozuna's was better. :lol: And finally Bmac signed a baseball in the sweet spot...told him I've seen a couple of his posts on soxtalk.com and he said yeah the sites great... :headbang Bmac is cool as hell... :notworthy It was a hot but pretty good day overall...

Just curious, but what is BMac's username? I'm relatively new to this site so....ya....

I saw B-Mac sign for a young kid during his windsprints on Wednesday before the game. He could have pretended not to hear the kid in the bleachers but he went out of his way. Nice move, glad he's around

I told B-Mac that I had read a lot about him on Futuresox.com and he got a good laugh out of it. Now where's my prize Jason? :P

Does anyone have pictures!???

OH NOES

YOU MEAN HE TOOK THE TIME OUT OF HIS DAY TO DO SOMETHING AND HE DID A HALF ASSED JOB?

 

BANISH HIM TO HELL

Yes, please do.

 

He can't give an hour of attention to people who took off work, or braved the hot weather to stand in line and get an autograph from a player of their favorite team.. who was PAID to appear...

 

He's an ass.. always has been, always will be.

Steff is right. Willie wasn't there for free. He was there because he was obligated to appear by his employers most likely, or he was paid by Taste organizers. Either way, don't feel too sorry for him.

Would you rather wait in the heat to talk to BMac and Garcia? Or wait in line to talk to BMac and Garcia and get a signed picture from Willie?

I'm not even keeping my Willie picture that he signed. I hate him. You can have it if you want. I was only there for Freddy and B-Mac.
