Ever since I became a Sox fan…. This should definitely teach the @cubs the dangers of having a terrible group sales set up and calling my employer to ask me to apologize for posting about it.

(Seriously, it’s been great enjoying baseball again)!

Just saying… since I decided to become a White Sox fan (after that dreadful experience dealing with Wrigley Field) they haven’t lost a game.

These lists become more disturbing when you realize that to the creators, 'Zionist' has no concrete meaning.

They're NOT listing ppl supporting the war.

Authors are added for the 'crime' of mentioning Israeli relatives or calling for ceasefire but NOT the destruction of Israel.

Me in the Des Moines Register, 1990 (with my friend E.T.).

Maybe I’m just being petty about how badly the Cubs handle group sales at every turn, or how they asked my employer to get me to apologize for a tweet criticizing them, but I’m done. We’ll always have 1989. Go Sox.

Later on I’ll drop a diss track like Keith Moreland dropped routine flies.

Very sad to hear that Steve Albini died. He was legendary for music, but you should also know that in our neighborhood the kids knew his house as the best house for candy on Halloween. I didn't know him personally but I'll miss him nytimes.com/2024/05/08/art…

Looks like kudzu about to start swallowing the Daily News building. (I know it’s not kudzu)

I still can’t use 🧵s as a good news ticker or for much Bob Dylan or Chicago discussion, but the engagement I get on posts there in general these days is exponentially higher than I’m getting on this site.

Day 2 with this school group; starting with a cup of coffee, black as a major league baseball team owner’s heart.

The team reached out re my tweet about the “app tickets only” policy for large school groups. Not to make things better, to ask me to apologize.

In a decade leading tour groups I’ve never dealt with a vendor that treated me this badly.

Me in 1988. I’m getting a sox hat now.

The Cubs are dead to me.

Here’s a pic from the day of my first Major League Baseball game, 1988.

I’ve had to take down some posts but let’s just say that as of tonight I’m a Sox fan.

Listening to the Memphis Dylan show where his ear monitor was busted (“shit, that’s worse!” he said after leaving the stage in attempt to fix it). Made for a unique show, like watching him perform on a tight rope. The tape and performance are great but can’t convey the suspense!

Finding some great stuff while cleaning out storage. I took this photo of Ken Griffey Jr at Royals Stadium in 1991.
