Motorman plays to the Sox-Cubs rivalry
We've all encountered rude and surly CTA employees. But we've also been entertained by motorman and drivers who have put a smile on our faces or made our commute a little easier.
Friday's trip to U.S. Cellular Field was no exception. We were on our way to the first game in the Sox-Cubs Crosstown Classic -- a long trip from the Far North Side made all the more fun by a chatty motorman on the Red Line.
He was making a running commentary on the game and the fan rivalry:
"All aboard now, we're headed to the game."
"Hey, watch it now -- don't drop the beer!" -- at Bryn Mawr
"OK Cubs fans, don't beat anybody up!" -- at Belmont
"No fighting now -- all aboard!" -- at Fullerton
"Looks like somebody's going to the ball game" -- at Lake
"All right now, no fighting! This is not the Jerry Springer Show." -- at Washington
"Hey, we were here first -- don't get squished." -- at Jackson, to the riders on the platform trying to board an overcrowded train.
"No tailgating here -- the next party is at your house!" -- at Harrison.
"Be nice, don't get physical. You need a good hospital plan to ride this train." -- at Cermak-Chinatown.
"Sox-35th. Home of the Crosstown Classic. You can put it on the board, YESSSSSS!"
