I'll wait til about 11:30 AM to get a game thread up if one is not up.
This isn't good at all considering I don't think the Cubs won a game last year when I had to make a temporary game thread

Anyone watch that Cubs Forever special on WGN? I got chills seeing some of the great Cubs moments like the Sandberg Game and Greg Maddux's 3000th strikeout, the first night game, Kerry's 20 K game.

Yea I saw parts of it, kept skipping around that and the Mets game. Yup I didn't know whether to ride the chills I felt or feel awkward that Kerry had a legit chance to be Roger Clemens sans the steroids.

I missed basically the first hour of it. The show was great though. They interviewed so many former Cubs and fans. It also made me feel more optimistic about this season.

I thought they did a great job on WGN "Cubs Forever". Good interviews and good highlights. Brought back some memories for sure.

Anyone see SportsNite comparing New York and Chicago tonight.

I'm biased but Chicago>>>New York.

Pizza - NY

Hot Dog - Chicago (all beef baby!)

Taxis - NY

Train - Chicago (NY takes way too long)

Beaches - Chicago, no beaches in NY, unless you have a private one

Theatre - NY by a mile

Bagels - NY

Attitude - Chicago (NY peeps are a-holes)

Parks - NY (Central Park blows away Grant)

Shopping - Chicago (Its actually affordable, most of the store in NY are no touch, display only. Even the stars are taken in the back to actually shop)

Hip Hop - Chicago (Go Kanye and Common, I would've said NY a few years ago, but Kanye alone beats out anything from NY)

Girls - Chicago (more down to earth)

Bridges - wash (Chicago has more, but NY's are better)

Sports - wash

....anymore you can think of?

The pizza is always a discussion when comparing Chicago and New York. Personally, I prefer deep dish pizza to New York Style pizza. I don't understand how New York style pizza is unique. All it is, is an oversized pizza.

I'll tell you the major difference.

Chicago pizza places like to put lots of salt in their dough and lots of sugar in their sauce. This creates that salty-sweet taste that most tongues love.

Ever bite into a Chicago pie and have your lips burn a little from the saltiness?

Personally, the amount of cheese in a deep dish pizza, is just way too much for me. I enjoy the salty-sweet, but with that much cheese, its hard to eat more than 2 slices.

New York pizza places use really really sweet tomatoes and therefor don't need to put sugar in their sauce. The water that is used for the dough is also a key ingredient in the pizza. It makes the dough salty, it also makes New York bagels better. So the sweet-salty taste is a natural thing compared to Chicago's synthesized sweet-salty.

Anyways, the most popular pizza in NY isn't even the pizza their known for-the over sized slice on a thin crust made with stretchy mozerella. The most popular pizza in NY is the margherit pizza. Its a puffy dough pizza made with fresh fresh tomatoes and fresh fresh mozerlla and sprinkled with basil.

The best place to go is Sac's Pizza in Queens. Its my first option for pizza in the whole world. Its the closest thing to 'real' pizza made in Europe. I've had that, and I still prefer a slice from Sac's.
