Barstool After Dark: Scandal Shocks Windy City

The city of Chicago is no stranger to scandals, including, strangely enough, surrounding a certain team… the White Sox. Last night, as a group of Barstool workers battled the will of their stomachs to depths no person usually dares go. Though one man may have marred this glorious feat of 99/99/9. (For those in the dark, I swear, no pun intended...that’s 99 beers, 99 hot dogs over 9 innings, cumulatively among the squad.)

Out of the gate, they were posting numbies!! The vibes were higher than ever, Eddie fanboying over Mr. C and everyone was soaking in that good Chicago summer weather from Wrigley. What could go wrong, right? Well then the stomachs bit back, the pace slowed, the fingers pointed, and a gut check was needed. Now their gut check was a little different than most, as it came with a 7th inning... relief… that clip is not for the queasy, that’s all I have to say about that.

After this display of… grit, Dana Beers, Katic, and Eddie found a new groove and started to rally the troops, or at least the ones they could. T-Bob, a star of the show in his own right, was straight up battling the demons of his intake. Max bowed out innings before. Mintzy was literally a ghost...like GONE. Tate & Beef was gearing up for a stretch run to help the boys as well. The game itself did them no favors, moving quickly and shaving off a half inning.

Now, the beers? No problem, those were done by the 8th. But what was left was no small task at all: about 20 dawgs remained. They brought in the bullpen of Annika & Hannah, who did more than enough to cut into that daunting number. With that help, and some MVP-type teamwork led by Dana Beers, they frantically found a way to get the 99th dog in someone’s mouth just in time… or did they?

See, there was one other bullpen member—and that would be White Sox Dave. Or what the tabloids are now calling “Black Sox Dave", the infamous nickname given to the 1919 White Sox who cheated in the World Series. So yes, there is a historical timeline here. WSD was shown on camera late in the game dropping something that resembled a hot dog bun. Thus beginning the "BUNGATE" scandal. The video is quite clear, in fact, very hard to argue against.

Early comments out of the WSD camp claim this was an extra bun from Mintzy, used as a "napkin" of sorts to wipe off a condiment. But the video isn’t the only damning aspect of this scandal, history might be too. Already there’s the link to the 1919 squad. Another thing to mention: WSD himself has had other allegations thrown his way. Years ago, in The Dozen, multiple times in fact, including one that led to a punishment involving what, you ask? HOT DOGS.

Sometimes the story just unfolds itself for you. So you’re telling me it’s all just a coincidence that WSD is connected to three separate scandals, all involving baseball-themed items?! It all just seems a bit off now, doesn’t it?

Of course, we can’t pass complete judgment on WSD just yet. This is something that will be up to the Supreme Court of Barstool… The Yak. As always, they’ll figure out the answers we’re all starving for. Today hopefully for the minds of all Stoolies out there we can get the facts all straight. This was supposed to be a joyful celebration, but now instead only leaves us with more questions.

Last night, we saw Tate and Dana Beers band this group together to fight their bodies, their minds, and grill (pun intended) Mr. C himself...all while going to the brink and back to achieve a common goal. This reporter truly hopes, for their sake, that it’s not marred with an asterisk due to one man's misfortune.

They all put it on the line last night in Wrigleyville to achieve greatness. Will this just be another scandal in the baseball history books? Only WSD… and well, The Yak, can truly clear this whole "BUNGATE" up.
