I Support my local "Little" neighborhood coffee shops, I too dislike Starbucks, their coffee is too strong and my stomach can't take it. On a similiar note, back in September I took my brother who is an active Marine to a White Sox game, he is a huge White Sox fan( I am a Cubs fan, which he gives me hell for everytime I see him). He got in for free, which I thought is a great way to honor our troops by giving them opportunities to watch baseball. But I was talking to a family friend the other day who works Sox and Cubs games as a vendor during the season and he told me that the White Sox and the Cardinals are the only teams that offer free tickets to our Active Military personnel for free. I thought this is crazy, I am actually thinking of writing the Tribune/Cubs and asking them why they would commit such a travesty towards our fighting men and women. It's ridiculous, I dont care about other teams but the Cubs are startin to piss me off.
