So I went to Milwaukee last night to see the Cubs/Brewers game, and just about everything about the whole trip sucked. And most of the sucking was Illinois-related. The Cubs got swept (at least we saw a Sosa web gem), and it took 3 hours to get back to Evanston because the Illinois Department of Transportation is worthless and closed 2 lanes of traffic so some guys could put bricks in a new rest area. We also missed the first 2 innings of the game because of traffic in Milwaukee.
