The Simmons Site

OK, I'll say it. Jealous as shit.

 

When I invoked "burger," it was to suggest something familiar and digestible and user friendly. The contrast, remember, was with a haute cuisine item.

 

I'm impressed with Eggers' treatise on Wrigley, too. There's some very good writing on there today. Enough to keep me looking.

 

Eggers piece was fantastic. Out of the park and onto Waveland.

If you're scoring at home he used "I" less than 10 times.

 

He hopes it fails because he's a loser.

 

I don't recall asking for your opinion.

 

My opinion is that you're a loser.

 

Blocking ads shows that you have no social conscience.

 

I'm accessing from the office right now, and brother, do we EVER have a social conscience.

Looks like the Miracle Mile off the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

 

I have to ask: what part of the wrigley piece was impressive? Maybe it's because I'm a Chicagoan but I thought that piece was incredibly trite and predictable. Really? A piece on the Wrigley rooftops that reads like a 24 yr old's diary entry written from the stale perspective that at cubs games the score doesn't matter? need someone to tell me why that piece is above mediocre.

(and yes I am rooting for the site as a whole.)

 

I guess what I liked was the imagery of working that room without really caring there was baseball over your shoulder. I've never sampled the Wrigley Field experience, and the piece created a vivid mental picture.

 

Alex Rodriguez would also beg to differ with the assertion in the fifth graph of the Wrigley story that Andre Dawson was the only player to win MVP on a last-place team, given he accomplished this feat in 2003.

I'm rooting for the site as well, but that was an oops.
