Brent Kowalkoski - You Are Now a Sox Fan

I almost forgot about this moron, Brent Kowalkoski, but the update in the tribune about him reminded me again. In fact, it took me 3 times to get his name down into the Google search, so any notoriety is fleeting, if existent. And he didn't get his ass kicked by the pitcher he rushed, like the guy with Randy Myers in the 90's, so nobody will talk about him after this.

Still, you gotta wonder what the guy was thinking, and what this judge was thinking by letting him off with probation. He should have at least done a weekend or two in Cook County. He is also banned from Wrigley for two years, but I don't really see how they are going to enforce him, unless all the employees got a real good look at him and will be on the lookout. As they were saying late in the season last year, even Bartman went to more Cubs games and wasn't recognized, none of which were ever substantiated, but I don't doubt he could have gone if he wished.

Bartman is welcome back in my book. He did what anyone would have done, Alou, Prior, and Gonzales are the ones that lost that game for us, and forethought makes us all realize that the city of Chicago may nearly have ruined a man's life over that. So much so that unprompted, I remember Steve Bartman's name, Breat Kerzollooski, he can go to U.S. Cellular Field with the rest of the degenerates.

Ah Ha! Sam Zell, people are figuring you out

Sam Zell, small percentage owner(reportedly less than 6%) of the White Sox, Real Estate pirate, and current interim owner of the Cubs and Tribune corporation, is trying to figure out just how much he can get away with now, as far as the Cubs and Wrigley Field are concerned.

On the radio, former bleacher-bum( as he touts himself) and sporadic radio personality Mike Murphy, is screaming "Real-Estate baron!" as much as he pushes Brown's chicken, but that shouldn't discount what he's pointing out. Sam Zell IS a real-estate baron, in this whole ordeal only to cut and parcel up one of Chicago's greatest assets, as is his right, but the city of Chicago or the state should not be participating in the process.

This guy is Gordon Gecko, and nobody should be supporting his operation, he will pay for it all himself just fine. Well, you say, what if he sells them off to some sleazy businesses, and we are stuck hearing about the Chicago "Trojan Condom" Cubs at "Club Hedonism" Field? Yeah, won't happen, and if he does that, he is a fool, which he is not. Taking too much advantage of Cub fans loyalty will lead the Cubs down the same trail recently taken by the Blackhawks.
