The ’07 northside baseball club has a new “theme”. Some hoodlum fan (who once ran on the field to beat on a pitcher) coined the phrase “It’s gonna happen”. He’s hawking bandwagon t-shirts and blue wristbands to every schlep on Addison and Sheffield.
Given the 99 years of glorious blue pinstripe futility, I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Odds are with me on that.
So I came up with a list of 10 things that actually will happen before the goat-cursed crew off North Halsted actually win a World Series:
10. A new president is gonna happen, that’s for certain.
9. The Doyle twins graduate from UT (with honors).
8. Da Bears win the Super Bowl. Twice. Starting this year.
7. The Bulls, lead by Jeffrey Jordon, win 7 in a row.
6. Fans swear off the northside team. WGN picks up the Sox who become all the rage with old people across the USA.
5. Bill Wirtz croaks, Blackhawks win back-to-back Stanley Cups.
4. Frank Thomas enters the Hall of Fame. Santo still trying.
3. Willie Nelson runs takes over Texas. We secede from the union and everyone is happy.
2. Daley’s grandson becomes the 3rd Daley in office.
1. Sox add three more World Series rings. City rejoices. Wrigley Field is demolished and replaced with another Boys Town bar.
