The Banter That Could Have Been

The Toronto Blue Jays banned alcohol for a few select games because of rules violations. Would you go to a game in which alcohol sales are withheld?

Let me be the first to say I’m not going out to the yard if the beer isn’t free flowing. And it’s not just because I’m one of those Cubs fans who drinks his sorrows away after Alfonso Soriano swings at three sliders in the left-handed batters box.

Nothing says baseball like a cold beer and a tasty hot dog … especially when you’re 21.

Besides, if Roy Halladay isn’t pitching for the Blue Jays, you’re going to need excessive amounts of alcohol to get through that game.

Beer can make a girl look pretty, and I'm convinced it does the same with bad baseball.

My president is black and enjoys a brew just like I do

What does this have to do with sports?

Um. Quick.

It was at a Wizards-Bulls game.

He's a Bulls fan.

Dick Vitale calls him the Commander-in-Swish.

He looooooves the White Sox.

His brother-in-law is the head coach of Oregon State's men's basketball team.

Anything else?

Good.

Look everybody, Mr. President is just like me. Except he runs the free world and I run a blog. Which is kind of like a free world.
