This collection of entries is from September 03, 2004.
I'm watching the white Sox-Seattle game on Fox Sports Net from U.S. Cellular Field and I just noticed that the rolling advertizing sign behind the plate has Japanese advertising in it!
I'd like to think it's because of Shingo Takatsu, but I'm sure it's because of Ichiro Suzuki. Or perhaps, both.
I've NEVER seen that before in the park.
On a side note, I read today that there a rumor that the Cubs will apply to the Historical Commission to be able to put a rolling advertizing sign on the brick behind the plate at Wrigley Field. Ha! Join the ranks of ugly advertising inside the park, dear Cub fans...
On Friday nights, Carol and I usually go out for dinner.
Nothing fancy at all. mind you. It's just a once-a-week thing to get out of the house and not have Carol feel like she needs to cook. The idea is just to grab something that will cost less than $20 for the two of us. We have our regular haunts, all of which are not flashy at all - the local China Buffet, Gulliver's Barnaby's (for a Pub Burger, not a pizza), Steak n Shake, or Rosati's (for the buffet).
Tonight we went to another standby - Fuddruckers. I was floored by the sign that I saw at the entrance:
KOBE BEEF BURGER
Fuddruckers has Kobe beef? WTF? It's a half pound American-Style Kobe Beef Burger for $9.99
I've always wanted to try Kobe beef... but not as a burger at Fuddruckers...
