Isn't that the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? The double knit polyester side panels with the air mesh body - the most form fitting, breathable, comfortable hockey jersey ever made. Big thanks to @linzhansen for modeling for me.

Stanley Cup Tough
Saw this live and it was a sight. I hate posting 'injury related' videos; but talk about toughness. Walker goes into the locker room - get's the thing taped - and is back on the ice by his next shift. All in a day's work for a blackhawk.
Ellsbury is fast. 'Sneaky' fast
Jacoby Ellsbury joined the likes of Ty Cobb, Jackie Robinson, Honus Wagoner & The Great - Shoeless Joe Jackson by stealing home last night. Never underestimate smart play with pure hustle. Oh - and hell'a wheels.

The Hoody 2009 - Your Vote Counts
My 2009 Authentic Cub-issue Hoody arrived at my door today and I am leaving this seasons "hoody alteration" to you the fans. Below are 3 pictures. The first is the hoody - plain; no custom patch on the left sleeve.
The second is the infamous "Harry Caray Memorial Patch"
and the third features the 2009 Winter Classic patch.
Cast your vote on the right for which patch (or no patch) I should wear for the 2009 season. Voting ends on Friday the 24th @ 10am - as that's when I'm taking the hoody to the seamstress.

The Lawn Chair of Kings
Do not be deceived by it's simple design. This is the most comfortable chair you will ever sit in. It's called the Zero-Gravity Chair - and the name fits. Imagine sitting in a hammock on your back porch without having to hang the supports or deal with the hassle of getting in and out of the hammock. Plus the added feature of armrests and a head pillow! My beautiful wife @linzhansen; found the tan colored version on sale this last weekend and bought it as a belated house-warming present for me. Needless to say; I'm typing this blog while sitting in my new chair on the porch. We first experienced these chairs together at her uncle's lake house in PA. While we had a beautiful house, convertible cruiser for a car, wake boarding boat and a pool at our disposal the entire vacation - we decided to spend the majority of our time on the porch in the Zero-Gravity chairs. (With no regrets might I ad.)

Custom Playoff Jersey
As the NHL Playoffs rapidly approach, it's time to put your attention to a playoff-appropriate jersey to support your Chicago Blackhawks. The guy pictures above sat in front of me at the 2009 Winter Classic. He was later escorted out by security for punching a Red Wing fan in the face. Needless to say, his wardrobe and enthusiasm were at an all time high that day. Steps include: 1) Purchase a Red Wings practice jersey, 2) draw a giant "X" through the logo on the front of the sweater with a black sharpie, 3) Have "DETROIT SUCKS" embroidered across the back nameplate. You are guaranteed to get the Hawks a win - or start a fight in the stands.
Retail:
Sharpie: $ 1.89
Red Wings Practice Jersey: $79.95
Custom Lettering: $26.50

Happy Opening Day!
This will be the fifth year in a row that I will open the Chicago Cubs season by wearing my jersey to work. In year one I went with the vintage Jody Davis #7. The last four years I've celebrated in the home alternate blue, game used, #25 Dave Hansen jersey. Who was Dave Hansen you ask? Well, that's what wikipedia is for - do your own homework. Today I will be celebrating wearing the appropriate road grey uni, as the Cubs open in Houston. Although he will be starting the season in AAA Iowa; I'm still a faithful fan to #29 Jeff Samardzija
