Plenty of Room on the Bandwagon!

I'd like to point out something that may come as a shock to some of you:

Take a look at the following percentages:

.588
.524
.444
.444
.167

Those, my friends, are the current winning percentages of Chicago sports teams this year. And who is on top right now? Thats right, none other than Chicago's Blackhawks! (followed by the Cubs, Bears, White Sox, and lowly Bulls)

Hope everyone caught the game last night...the Hawks beat the Red Wings for the third time already this season (the Wings are 12-3...all 3 of their losses are to the Hawks).

Needless to say, this is an exciting team. And while I'm realistic enough to know that its likely they won't stay atop this "leaderboard", they are creeping back onto the Chicago sports map. Slowly but surely.

They still have a ways to go, however.

A perfect example of this was Friday night. Me and my roommate went to the Hawks game (a win over the Blues), then I went up to Wrigleyville to meet a friend from out of town. They were at Moe's Cantina, an inexplicably pretentious pseudo-posh hangout in the heart of Wrigleyville on Clark St. The bouncer, with his spikey hair and undeserved sense of accomplishment, told me I had to remove my #7 Chris Chelios jersey before entering. I refused (of course), and made my friends leave the place.

What sucks about this is that after Bears games, people are allowed in with Bears jerseys, and of course after Cubs games, thats all anyone is wearing. So why the discrimination against Blackhawk jerseys? Obviously we know the answer to this...but it just sucks. But its changing, dammit!
