Let’s not screw around and waste time but instead get right to the sports news all of Chicago is talking about: George Hincapie is the overall leader at the Tour de France.
2. Meaning less
Sox won the series, but Cubs won the finale to give North Siders a 1-0 edge in the all-important moral victories.
3. Applause sign
After previously losing 6-2 and 8-6, Cubs pitchers limited the Sox bats to a meager 11 runs on a puny 14 hits Sunday.
4. Start caring
Sox fans who aren’t a little bit concerned about the Detroit Tigers are as delusional as Cubs fans who think the playoffs are within reach.
5. Play on
No red cards or yellow cards issued at Wrigley, although there were some questionable halter top choices. Yes sir, I’m talking to you.
6. That said
If you’re a Cubs fan and threw trash on the field, you’re not allowed to mock rowdy obnoxious Sox fans ever again. If you’re a rowdy obnoxious Sox fan, dial it down.
7. End it like Beckham
David Beckham quit as England’s captain? It can’t be. Who will the world look to for their questionable haircuts?
8. Relax, relax
Beckham still plays for the national team, which means he’ll be there for England’s collapse in the 2010 quarterfinals.
9. Time’s running out
Still no World Cup streakers yet. I don’t even know why I’m watching the games anymore.
FIVE MORE …
Announcements Beckham (right) didn’t make:
– He’s actually Swedish.
– Victoria Beckham isn’t that posh.
– “Go Bears!”
– He’s running for Congress.
– He’s given Dusty Baker his vote of confidence.
