Let the Cubs fans go back to hating the Cardinals. Let the White Sox fans go back to hating the Twins. Let’s end this manufactured charade that the media spins into a so-called “rivalry.”

In 2008, I attended a Chicago Cubs home game on a first date with a young woman who revealed during early in the game that she was “good friends” with Alfonso Soriano. I thought maybe she was just playing the “oh, look at what famous athletes are interested in me, doesn’t that really impress you?” card. For some odd reason, extremely insecure and very vapid women love to run this trick play against me; as if it would actually work?

Sadly, this group of women actually includes some female “journalists” I know.

Back to Soriano girl, she claimed to have his bank pin number and showed me some Facebook photos I could have lived without seeing. Coincidentally, this game happened to be the exact same one in which Sori got hit by a pitch, injured and placed on IR for 6 weeks. My “date” was right there at his every beck and call that evening.

So maybe she was “close friends” with him; maybe she was something more.

She was kind of a disgusting human being with very little going on upstairs anyway, so who really cares?? She seemed to hate her job and her life, so I don’t really miss her white, pudgy St. Louis Cardinals fan butt. The only reason I even bring this up 5 years later is…it’s by far the worst experience at the ballpark I ever had.

Until last night.
