TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

Kevin enjoys a little spousal rivalry, but sometimes he takes it a bit overboard. One of Kevin's favorite pastimes is to create rivalries for us. He enjoys setting up fantasy leagues, college bowl pick 'ems, tourney pick 'ems, and sometimes, he even goes so far as to actually make up rivalries and/or facts.
Since we live in Chicago, there are 2 baseball teams. The traditional and fan favorites; the Cubs, a cute cuddly little bear or, the Sox, a smelly piece of gym wear. The Cubs are synonymous with the the strong sports history of Chicago, they are seen as Chicago's team.  The Sox are the 'South Side' team, that would make it synonymous with crime and Obama. (I will leave interpretation for that up to you).
So, Kevin has decided, since I had been to a Sox game, that I was a fan, and he would be a fan of the Cubs. Well, you have to understand, before January 7th 2010,the days when we still had a TV, (yes, I am still suffering without one. and you wondered why I blog so much these days) I was once, and would still be, a Fox News watcher. Seething hatred for Obama, who does he think he is? Robin Hood? Its bad enough that we live a block and a half from his home, but there is NO WAY we could share a love for the same baseball team. Although, Kevin may have be coming around to the Sox. We did enjoy a lovely day at US Cellular field.
Here is my case for Kevin becoming a Sox fan. You get to be the Judge. Get out your gavel.

Exhibit A: Kevin looks good, and HAPPY in black and white

 
Exhibit B: 'The Chicago Dog' Kevin's new favorite way to eat a hot dog. His first experience with one, was during the Sox game. Good memories for him. I personally think there is WAY too much going on, and the relish has a very radioactive green to it. SCARY! This may go against everything Chicago (but I never claimed to try to fit in), I like ketchup, and ketchup only on my Dogs!

Exhibit C: He got to spend the game with his favorite person...ME!

Final Ruling: Kevin is the Sox fan of the house (or apartment).

1 YEAR!!!

It has been a crazy year, moving, starting a new school, a new job, a new state, a new roomate (sorry, to all my previous ones, but so far, he's the best). Best of all,  We are still happy!!!
