Ted has the Chamber of Commerce seal of approval. Does it not get sore sitting on the fence for decades on end? Must be hell on the back too.

Actually FAA, I am a longtime Cincinnati Reds fan but I am also loyal to my hometown teams too. I was born a Pittsburgh Steelers fan but I'm happy when the Bears win. Have some overall pride in your in your city and stop being so narrow-minded.

That's different, fine. If you'd have no natural alliance to either anyway, my point is moot.

Story about the old Yankee stadium. In 1965, when I was 13 years old I took the subway from Queens with a friend for a Yankee game. Joe Pepitone was the first baseman for the Yanks and he had a purple Pontiac GTO. We saw him arrive at the lot across the street. After the game, we went up to the Grand Concourse for a slice of Pizza. AP, you are from the Bronx so you know it is 12 lanes wide and one of the most dangerous roads in the Country for a pedestrian. So we see Joe sitting in his car on the other side of the Concourse at the curb and I decide to get his autograph figuring at that time he was a future Hall of Famer. I run across the Concourse dodging 12 lanes of traffic and get to his car out of breath and ask for his autograph. He lambastes me for almost getting killed running across the Concourse to get his autograph. Lots of you F***ing idiot, my autograph isn't worth it. He was right.

they say flying is safer than car travel.one caveat I have been in at least 5 or more car accidents.show one person who has been in 5 plane crashes!!you only get one in a plane crash usually!!

I did some stupid stuff when I was a kid. Jumping on the back of subway trains, walking thru the subway tunnels etc. Did get hit by a car once when I was 12 years old on Northern Blvd. in Queens. All I remember was flying thru the air. I was very lucky and didn't have any broken bones but had a bruise from my hip to my foot that lasted about a month to six weeks.

Well those evil Chicago White Sox fans did it to the Cubs, I hope they're all happy today.

Actually the Cubs have no one to blame but themselves, having the bags full 3 or 4 times and not being able to push a run across will not win you games.
