Writing about the Cubs/Sox fan rivalry and considering extensive therapy because of it.

I'm sitting in a relatively stressful hospital waiting room, but the "pre-scouts" of @ABurish37 as told by @MarkLazerus have me smiling from ear-to-ear like an idiot. Thank you both.

@RexHuppke @John_Greabe

Rex, love your work. I suggest you follow John, truly one of the brightest people I know and he happened to answer your libel question here...

@desipiodotcom And Timberland boots. Don't forget the Timberland boots.

@John_Greabe Looking forward to whatever restaurant Dave has planed. 😬

@John_Greabe How's the wind and temp?

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@LenKasper Being a "hat tipper" is often viewed as being an apologist. Ask @BleacherNation , who often credits the other team after a Cubs loss. His timeline is usually a train wreck when he does. Fans would rather blame own team than give credit to opponent.

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@BleacherNation There's an usher at Wrigley (upper deck behind home) who gives out old baseball cards of the visiting team to fans of that team just to welcome them and promote baseball discussion between parents/kids. Such a cool idea.

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@MarkLazerus This is very disappointing to see, Mark. All this time I thought you had actually attended the Creed and Balboa fights vs. Drago.

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@fred_huebner @Cubs Just out for a little evening troll, Fred?

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@John_Kass John, John, John ... if I ever finish this damn book I may have to devote an entire chapter just to you.

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@BleacherNation I will read 1,557 words and no more, Brett!

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@John_Kass @RexHuppke Ha! Don't think I didn't notice your veiled attempt at curse resurrecting with that goat concept, John. It won't work.

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@John_Kass @RexHuppke With all the garbage going on these days, it always heartens me a little to know you two respect each other and are friends.

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@John_Kass Agree on the avacado, John. Save it for guac. But spread a touch of apricot preserves on a TBL. The sweet with the salty bacon ... mmmm...

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@RexHuppke A great book on this tragedy ... "In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors"

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@BleacherNation One of my favorite air show/Cubs moments. Trachsel robbed of a strike...

@ChefZahner @Buster_ESPN Schadenfreude: joy derived from others' misfortune. If NY does well you'll feel the opposite: gluckschmerz. A lot of both in sports fans!

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@thekapman To paraphrase a famous line: one huddle, one snap, one quarter at a time. Tap the brakes just a bit, Cookie. @WaddleandSilvy @TWaddle87

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@fred_huebner Do you mind if I swear on the golf course, Fred? Because that isn't likely to stop anytime soon.

[Bob Driscoll @drskull433]

@BleacherNation I was really hoping to get some work done today after a week's vacation, but keeping track of you promises to be too much fun.
