They just opened one of those near here, surprised me, doesn’t seem like a good area for one to me, but I see people going in. 10 bucks a month it says. Wish they’d open a Jewel instead.
I think the sports media had gone overboard in absolving Bartman and pitying him.

Sure, everyone overreacted, and the players and Dusty Baker deserve most of the blame, but he still effed up.
I don’t think anyone in Chicago wants to hear his name again, whether they like the Cubs or not. Sick of hearing about it.
Game yesterday I was watching, Cubs came back to take the lead. A show I wanted to watch was coming on with 2 outs in the 9th, naturally. I turned away and forgot about it. I tune in the local sports show later on, they’re talking about the game in happy tones, so I naturally assumed they got that last out. They didn’t, they lost. I was dumbfounded why they sounded so happy. It was against St. Louis, haven’t swept them in a series in years. That was a testicle-crushing loss in my view. But people seem optimistic, it’s weird.
They look in the mirror and see the same thing they’ve seen for years, a future President. It makes perfect sense in their twisted minds.
And given that the last 3 Presidents were:
1)Some un-vetted and funny named chump who was nothing more than a failed Congressional candidate 8 years before he was elected
2)The less intelligent of HW Bush’s 2 Governor sons who was a failed baseball executive 6 years before he was elected
3)A hick with a thousand sex scandals who, 4 years before he was elected, over a President that had 89% approval at one point, gave a speech so terrible that it had the DNC ready to get one of them giant hooks to drag him off the stage.
Maybe they aren’t so crazy to think they have a chance in hell. Dream, crazy dreamers.
