Drawing Battle Lines

Is it too early to start drafting the rules of engagement for this October?

No. No it’s not.

A few folks who root for a certain Chicago-based baseball team are plotting a sit-in (drink-in?) at the Cubby Bear during the first playoff game of a certain other Chicago-based baseball team:

Let’s show the Cubs fans who’s boss by taking over the Cubby Bear for the first game of the playoffs.

If we can get at least 400 people to show up early on game day and claim a spot, Cubs fans will make up less than half of the patrons of their flagship location.

Is this juvenile? Certainly. Risky? Maybe. Awesome? Only if it works. Together, Sox fans, YOU can make a difference.

    Does this also extend to the Cubby Bear North in Lincolnshire? Or aren’t there any Sox fans in the Northern suburbs?

    Not that it matters, as the next few evenings will render said playoff showdown quite moot.

    no, no White Sox fans in the northern burbs – this is strictly cubbie territory. my neighbors actually asked me if i was joking after I hung up a White Sox flag on the front porch a few years ago.
