October 24, 200520 yr He's just not as funny sober. Sad but true. A ton of long pauses and awkward interplay make up that radio show. At least it did from 99-01 when I was last tuned in

He started his political career on the South Side, and he has always professed to be a Sox fan. He even mentioned it at the Democratic Natl Convention.
October 24, 200520 yr Did anyone see Blago on one of the pre game shows from the Cell? I can't remember which station it was on, but they were trying to get him to put on a Sox cap. He said something like: "No, I'm a Cub fan and to do something like that would be one of those crummy things that politicians do all the time". C'mon dude, you're already AT the game.

You have to respect him a little but for that stand. At least he wasn't wearing an Astros cap

At least he wasn't wearing an Astros cap A little, but a real stand would have been not to attend at all. Especially since he doesn't do photo ops or appearances for political reasons.

They were great shows up until Meier went wacky and left in the early 90's. The Loop was once the best form on entertainment. I miss Johnny B. so damn much it isn't funny. If he were to come back, with Buzz...man, I would be THRILLED!

The day he threw out the 1st pitch he was on T.V. being interviewed and you could see the Sox hat he had wasn't a brand new one, but rather one that was well worn, something that would have taken years of being a fan to do.

That whole thing made me so angry. Hey Jackass, a lot of us would give our right arm for those tickets, so sit down and shut the hell up. If it's so crummy give the tix to someone who actually cares. Asshole.

Johhny B and Otis Day. $25 all you can eat and drink.

He was on in California until just recently. I went to Disneyland this summer, and I was looking forward to listening to him on the drive to the park every morning. About a week before I went, the station switched to that Jack format. If I ever meet Jack, one of us is going to end up sharing a cell with Cumswalla. Re: Dahl. You get used to the pauses. It takes some time, but there is some quality talk there - even if it's not always funny. Ususally it's interesting and unique. This from a former Dahl agnostic. I found him post-Heavy Fuel Crew - pre-MJH.
October 24, 200520 yr Obama's legit. Blaggo is, imo, a terrible governor, and I can't wait to vote him out of office, but I respect him for sticking to his ballclub and to his "I wouldn't wear a Sox cap even if they made it to the World Series" comment. Better a Cub fan than a "Chicago" fan.
October 24, 200520 yr I was just going to post this. Excellent article. Everyone of those assholes is taking a seat that could be occupied by someone who has followed this team with every ounce of their being, vs someone who just wants their 5 second on Fox, so the world doesn't forget that they exsist.

But wouldn't it be sad without a sell out? 21,000 for a World Series game?

October 24, 200520 yr It's a crime real fans aren't in the park for these games. Oh well, hopefully we missed our chance and the whole thing is over in Houston.

October 24, 200520 yr you know i think bernie mac lives in frankfort and im pretty sure he grew up on the southside. i like dahl, but i bet he used his celebrity status to get tickets.

Obama?? what do you know about him? how much $$$ did he waste as a lawyer remapping the wards in chicago? only to have the voters elect a white alderman in a 90% black ward... the man's a racist.. I don't want him as a senator or sox fan...
