North Side Versus South Side!


My friend Stuart (pictured above) is from the North Side of Chicago, home of the Chicago Cubs.  The Cubs are the worst team in baseball this year.  However, Cub fans don't seem to care.  They go to all the games, most of which are in the afternoon, when working people can't attend, and enjoy the beauty of the park, the ivy covered walls, and don't even seem to notice when the Cubs lose their 20th straight.  Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox play on the South Side of Chicago, almost always in the evening, when working class people can attend.  And most of their players haven't seen a leaf in years, let alone ivy, to quote humorist Jean Shepherd.  The Chicago White Sox are today in 1st place.  Need I say more?
