Even though I’ve lived in Chicago since 1993 – I’m still loyal to the sports teams that I grew up following while a kid in the country (North Carolina).  So, needless to say I’m THRILLED with the moves the Atlanta Braves made yesterday – they’re definitely gearing up for a strong run towards the playoffs (let’s hope they make it & go FAR!)  I take alot of grief from my friends living in Chicago but still being a huge Braves fan – what can I say, I’m loyal to my boys from the south!  The only Chicago teams that I’m really down with are the Bulls (you know I followed MJ here FROM UNC in the 80’s!), the Chicago Fire (I play the music at their games – don’t hate on soccer) and ever since I saw RUDY I fell in love with IRISH FOOTBALL, even though it’s not IN Chicago – Notre Dame is close enough to lay claim to “Chicagoland”!   So, in addition to music – sports is a huge passion of mine, so don’t mind the sports posts that I’ll put up now & then!
