Chicago with Da Boys

It's that time of year again. The Hyde boys had to take one for the team and go to
Chicago
to see Da Bears play Da Packers. It was tough for all involved and we really didn't have any fun. At least that's what we tell the Woman back at home. So here's what we did.

"Cubs - Official Line Up - Cubs". That's what the guy selling the programs supposedly says. It sounded more like "Ma sha ma na Ma". Day one we went to see the Cubbies play the Cardinals in a game that didn't matter for either team but the place was still packed. I didn't know that the Cubs have a curse that's worse then the Red Sox curse used to be. They have a sign in right field that shows that they haven't won a World Series in over 100 years.

I've been to a few MLB stadiums—Dodgers, Camden Yards, Angels, Diamond Backs, and Fenway. OK not Fenway but soon. This was the coolest stadium of all. We were so close to the players and the field just felt so much smaller.

This is the view we had from our seats. One of the coolest things about the stadium is the fact that they have bleachers on top of roofs in the outfield. How cool is that.

The cubs won! The cubs have a song they sing after they win and I'm pretty sure I knew it after the first verse. They also have W flags that everyone waves while singing such a fantastic toon.

In case you want to enjoy the song the cubs sing after they win, here it is.

We took a walk in Millenium park and took pictures of us at the bean. I think the pictures speak for themselves. Awesome.

The cop below was all business. He refused to wait for us to take a picture so here we are together. At least he was leaning a bit.

Da Super Fans.

The 4th phase was us. The fans. Da super fans. The 1st phase is the offense, the 2nd phase is defense, 3rd phase special teams, and 4th phase—yup.

Da Bears have a fight song. After the first touchdown they played it and we all couldn't breathe because we were laughing so hard. Inspiring really.

Da Bears and Cubbies won. We walked the halls, streets, and restrooms of Al Capone. We walked. We ate. We ate a lot of amazing food. I'm still recovering from my Argentine Steak that is making my mouth salivate at this time. It was that good and big. Chicago is really a great city. Thanks everyone who made it happend and we'll see you all next year in . . .
