Over the weekend, the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs played each other. I always love these games because I simply love hating the Cubs. Milwaukee Brewers fans, I know you're with me on this one. You may be annoyed with my fondness for the Chicago Bears, but at least we can agree on the Cub hating issue.
I know I shouldn't really have a problem with the Cubs. After all, they haven't won a World Series in 100 years. It's just the fans seem to be a little too faithful. They should get angry at their team more often. The fact that they love the Cubs no matter what irks me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm always a White Sox fan. However, when the team is playing poorly I won't go to the games as often. It doesn't mean I won't follow the team, I just won't give them my money for a poor product. That's not the case for Cubs fans. They'll go to Wrigley whenever.
I think Ozzie Guillen the White Sox managers expressed it best when asked why U.S. Cellular Field was sold out for the Cubs series but not completely full when the Los Angeles Dodgers were visiting just a few days before. Here's what Guillen had to say, "Because our fans are not stupid like Cubs fans," Guillen said. "They know we're [expletive]." Guillen said Cubs fans will watch any game at Wrigley Field because "Wrigley Field is just a bar."
I don't know if he's really serious or not, but either way it's still hysterical and I love the fact that Guillen does whatever he can to keep the rivalary between the two teams alive and well.
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.

John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
