Do They Still Play The Blues In Chicago?


As far as radio goes, it's more of a jazz town now. There may still be a
pretty good blues show on 750 AM, Sunday morning. I think Pervis Spann
still plays jazz and blues records late at night on WVON.

As far as baseball goes, the Cubs weren't even Chicago's best team. Which
was proven, as usual, when they lost yet another City Series to the White
Sox, this time only winning 2 games out of 6.

I tried pointing out to my Cub fan friends that 88 wins isn't great. "Oh,
but we've got the Great Dusty Baker as a manager now, not that numbskull Don
Baylor!!" I tell 'em to start lookin' through the DB list right now,
because Don Baylor won 88 games in his last full season, then the Cubbies
fired him in the next.

Let's not let the White Sox off the hook. Sure, winning 4 out 6 ain't bad,
but it wasn't good enough. The Slacker Sox knew the Cubbies were in a
crummy division, and they were obligated to win 6 out 6. Better yet, 7 out
of 6. Then thousands of Cubbie fans would have been spared this almost
unendurable postseason angst.

Well, wait 'till next year.
