Go Sox.
*** UPDATE 1 *** I’ve heard reports that Gov. Blagojevich was booed at yesterday’s Cub rally, but this, albeit edited video from the Tribune sure seems to prove the theory that Cub fans will blindly cheer anything that has their litle logo on it, including this hugely unpopular governor.
The Sun-Times makes no mention of booing during this passage in the governor’s speech…
“Sometimes when I’m arguing with the Legislature, I feel like Lou Piniella arguing with the umpires. Some of the times I have to make decisions as governor, I ask myself, ‘What would Lou do?’ Then I make some decisions,'’ Blagojevich said.
Feeling good about yourselves, Cub kids?
*** UPDATE 2 *** Sen. Meeks won’t surround Cub Field with protestors today as originally planned….
Hundreds of school funding protestors are expected to converge outside Wrigley Field today during the Cubs playoff, but they won’t be ringing the stadium as originally planned.
Instead, protestors wearing bright orange t-shirts will be confined to a cordoned-off area in the middle of Addison, near the park entrance, State Sen. James Meeks (D-Chicago) said Tuesday.
The group’s new position is “a compromise'’ with city officials for agreeing not to surround the perimeter of the stadium with 6,000 protestors, Meeks said.
Fewer protestors will now be needed, but Meeks said he still expects more than the 1,400 who gathered at New Trier Township High Sept. 2 to protest the inequities in Illinois’ school funding system.
