Craig, it's worth it to me just to read a series preview that starts with "World Series, Game One..."
BTW, some things about New Comiskey: It's actually a pretty nice ballpark, in my opinion, because it's relatively new but it's not that 'old-new' retro bullshit with fake-looking bricks like Arlington or Camden Yards. And real Sox fans have always struck me as an educated, yet surly bunch (i remember being at a game once where a sox reliever was in the process of blowing a tie game in the 8th, and one guy sitting around me yelled "throw a strike, you fag!" very loudly, and nobody seemed to care because it summed up everybody's sentiments. HOWEVER, three huge problems with the place: 1. It's in the worst part of town imaginable, right in the heart of the south side ghetto 2. It's facing the wrong way, so when you're there you get a view of towering Chicago projects in the outfield rather than the Chicago skyline (i think the reason for this is the unwritten baseball rule about how you don't want the stadium facing the sunset) 3. The parking situation is the worst I've ever seen at a stadium or arena. You can't park outside of the stadium because of the neighborhood, so you're stuck in this parking lot with only a couple of entrances/exits. Every time I've been there it's taken an hour to get out, and that's with half capacity at the game
Also, you've gotta wonder about a group of fans who let the Cubs talk shit about them. The Cubs! This is like a middle school where the nerdy kid gets picked on by the normal kids, but then he goes home and picks on the REALLY nerdy kid who lives down the street from him. You just gotta wonder about that REALLY nerdy kid.
