Random Thoughts, Sights, Sounds - A Potpourri of Knowledge

Today's Randomness starts off compassionately, as we take a look at what our brothers in baseball fandom in Chicago are currently going through.

It's not a good day to be a baseball fan in Chicago right now. Wednesday morning the Windy city was an excited city that couldn't wait for the playoffs to start, but two days later playoff success doesn't look good for either the Cubs (who were booed out of their own stadium after two straight losses) and for the White Sox (who are up against a much better team - younger, more athletic).

If the Cubs lose in the first round (and fail to win a World Series for the 100th year), will they call it the curse of the watered down watering hole or will it be the curse of the preprinted World Series tickets (get a good look Chicago because this will be the closest you'll get to seeing World Series tickets this year).

Staying with baseball, I have to say this about Los Angeles Angels fans - what a bunch of front runners. Did anyone else notice how quickly Anaheim stadium cleared out in the 8th inning Wednesday night after Boston scored two runs and had a 4-1 lead? Is there any chance this would happen in Fenway (with the crowd heading out early)?

By the ninth inning, the crowd was masquerading as fans dressed up as seats (especially behind home plate). There were a ton of empty seats and then you heard the "Let's go Red Sox" chant. If they played a couple of more innings, it would have turned into the home game for Boston.

And finally, here's a side of Sarah Palin that we didn't see during last night's 90-minute VP debate. Enjoy.



Have a great weekend everyone.
