There’s a lot of great sports going on in this town right now.  The Blackhawks advanced to the second round after finishing off the Predators last night, the Bulls have a crucial back-against-the-wall elimination game tonight with the Cavs, and the Cubs and Sox are both finally starting to play good baseball.  That being said, [...]

I went to Wrigley Field for the Cubs-Astros game on Saturday.  Bobby Scales scored on a walk-off hit to win the game after Gregg blew a 4-run lead in the 9th.  While the game itself was exciting, and my seats were insanely good (thanks Ethan), the real highlight of the game was my attempts to [...]

Everyone loves food at the ballpark.  I have a basic slate I go with depending on whether I’m at the Cell or Wrigley.  At Wrigley I always get a foot-long or a Brat with grilled onions, nachos, and peanuts.  At the Cell I get the Nachos Supreme, a hot dog, and a soft-serve ice cream [...]

Top Ten Nominee sent me this little recipe. It is a must-have at all Super Bowl parties, along with at least two cardiologists and an EMT. Click this link for the full recipe, but here are the pictures of the Bacon Explosion in each stage of it’s preparation. Mmmmm.

Just spread a little [...]

This is not sports-related at all, but I felt the need to share. My pops showed it to me, most likely in a vain attempt to reveal to me how unhealthy my life is. Well joke’s on him! This looks unbelievably delicious and if I’m ever passing through Chandler, Arizona, you can [...]

Our friends over at Hugging Harold Reynolds have launched a new site about eating food on the road at other ballparks. It is called Fan Foodie and here is what its about:
FanFoodie is for the frequent traveler who makes it a point to attend sporting events when on the road, and has a penchant [...]

The Bulls have a go-to guy. No, it’s not Larry Hughes.
Barack Obama is seating the press corps in categories of Sox fans and Cubs fans. Oops, a Sox fan was placed in the Cub fan section.
Some notes on the Bears.
HHR is starting a site called Fan Foodie. It goes to each sports [...]
