The Chicago Shite Sox

Does the pizza change, or just the boxes.  Am looking forward to the tamales and local brews for my annual trip to see fireworks on the south side though.

US Cellular is the place to be for authentic Chicago pizza lovers.

Another major change for fans root, root, rooting for the Cubbies will be the pizza. D'Agostino's Pizza, which opened its first location in 1968 down the street from Wrigley, replaces Connie's Pizza as the brand served at the park.

A similar move will happen at the White Sox home, U.S. Cellular Field, where Nestle's DiGiorno pizza swaps in for Connie's. A request for comment from Connie's was not returned.

Wow. Must be awesome to buy a slice of DiGiorno at the ballpark for the same price as two or three whole ones at your local 7/11.

You grocery shop at 7-11?

Sox fans shop and watch their team's home games start at 7 11.

I actually don't know if we Have 7-11s out here. I was just going with the most recognizable convenience store name.

Not "Kum N' Go?"

Sparky's One Stop?



You could (still can, I suppose) take a Sparky's branded Bic lighter and scratch off some of the letters and make it read "Spark one up."

Eat Here, Get Gas

[Slaky]

A lot of times we simply believe in things without really examining them. For example. we think bacon is bad for you. We just know. We don't really read the nutrition labels on bacon. It's just not that healthy.

Another such thing is Juan Pierre. We have been making fun of him ever since Hendry made the awful trade to bring him here and he tickled the ivory for an entire craptacular season. We watched him so we know he sucks. He went to LA. He sucked there. He went to the Sox and sucked there. But something was different. Last year, if you just went by word of Sox fans and slackjawed beat writers, Pierre wasn't that bad. He was actually kind of good. Got on base enough. Stole a bunch of bases. He was a good guy for them to have.

So when I see that he's been playing so horrible this year (trying to break records in outfield errors and caught stealings) I assume that it's because he was so decent-to-good last year that he's been given this seemingly endless leash. But he wasn't decent last year at all. His OPS+ was 78. So far, this year it's 66. His WAR is -0.5.

Maybe it wouldn't be that big of a deal if he wasn't making seven million bucks.

I'm just amazed. The Sox could call up anyone from the minors and he would help their team out more than Pierre.
