Bueller? … Bueller?: When an unhealthy pop-culture obsession merges with an unhealthy baseball obsession, the results are brilliant … and obsessive. Through powerful deductive reasoning, Baseball Prospectus’ Larry Granillo determined the exact Cubs’ game Ferris and friends attended in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. [BP]

Standing ovay.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:15 AM
June 5th??
I would have ditched school too.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Okay. Now tell me which parade shut down downtown Chicago that afternoon.
Plus, I hypothesize that if he went to the Cubs game and then came back downtown in time for the parade, and school was still in session, then the Cubs game must have started about 10 or 11 o’clock.
/I got your “obsessive” right here
February 8th, 2011 at 10:18 AM
and to the surprise of no one, the Cubs lost.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Well we do know the bears were winning right?
February 8th, 2011 at 10:19 AM
Leon Durham reference!
February 8th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
Way to complicated. I just would’ve scanned the Trib’s headlines for a mention of a parade turning into “Twist and Shout” karaoke.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
Ferris Bueller was an asshole, Cameron should have told him to fuck off and been done with it
Didn’t BP also try to put together a season stat line for Roy Hobbs once or was that Rob Neyer?
February 8th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
Back when a 20 year old sportsgal was a Red Wings fan. Those were the days.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
During that time of year, it would be the Taste’s parade (which is pretty small) or Gay Pride (not sure when that began). However, because of what the people are wearing the parade, I think it’s meant to be the (now departed) Southside Irish parade.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
Ha. Awesome.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
Hater.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
Very cool.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
The first time I ever saw this movie was in a HS freshman earth science class.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
This was entertaining and all, but nothing will compare to this over analysis of a fake baseball game.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
I would have been more impressed if he found out the name of the restaurant.
slacker
February 8th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
Gordie Howe, Legend.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
Actually Ferris and Cameron were the same person. So Cameron would have been telling himself to fuck off.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
Cameron had great taste in hockey teams.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
Why didn’t Abe Froman show up at the restaurant? Did they find a name on the reservation list who was late? I demand answers
February 8th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
They were the same person so that would have been weird.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
Sloan was a fucking fox.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:30 AM
I’d like him to focus this powerful, deductive reasoning and explain why that chick that played Sloane wasn’t in more movies.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:30 AM
oh, a Fight Club meets Ferris Bueller theory! I like it!
February 8th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
Weird how he’s a Chicago kid, yet rocks the Gordie jersey.
/would like a Gordie Howe Whalers jersey
February 8th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
This, that, and the other.
Hey! A spoiler alert would have been nice!
/soylent green is people
February 8th, 2011 at 10:33 AM
Great taste in players, not teams.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:33 AM
Isn’t Gay Pride in July? Or is that Market Days? Why are there so many Gay celebrations in Chicago? And good riddance of the Southside St. Patty’s day parade. Every year that was the shit show to end all shit shows.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
SWING! Batterbatterbatterswing bat-ter!
February 8th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
She was hot in Legend.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Yep, basically the bizarro version of SportsGal.
She was in Time Cop and Legend.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:35 AM
/would like a Gordie Howe Whalers jersey
Would like a Gordie Howe Houston Aeros jersey.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:35 AM
She was Lili in Legend.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
I don’t know why, but that second paragraph made me cringe sooooo much.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
You can argue whether or not he was an asshole, but you can’t deny that his sister is a c*nt
February 8th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
Tip o’ the cap to you sir.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
id bang sloan.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
They saw a Cubs game on June 5th but weren’t they in a St. Patrick’s Day parade? Or am I confusing this with the parade from The Fugitive?
February 8th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
I once saw a jersey foul at the UC of a Maple Leafs Howe jersey. I almost called in to work the next day I was so ill.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
Not anymore, you wouldn’t. Google her. Time has not been kind, my friend. Not at all.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
what’s her name in real life?
February 8th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
So what you’re saying is Smith is a pussy.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
TBL: Cowherd is CRUSHING Ricky Ruuuuuubio right now. Hilarious
The Al Capone’s Vault of PG’s
Ricky Martin livin’ la vida broca is better
He’s zits, acne & hair
/commence your hating
February 8th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
fuck it, i don’t even care who she is in real life. im talking about sloan, from the movie, with those 80′s boots.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:40 AM

You let this person live?

February 8th, 2011 at 10:41 AM
That’s just awful.

what was bueller’s vorp+bp though? i’m actually mad i read that because honestly ..who gives a shit?
February 8th, 2011 at 10:41 AM
Fugitive was the St. Paddy’s parade.

And Mia Sara is Sloan’s real name.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Ferris was Charlie Sheen’s first movie role. Got paid with a blow job & a couple 8balls
/rimshot
February 8th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Probie was an absolute beast.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:43 AM
You can argue whether or not he was an asshole, but you can’t deny that his sister is a c*nt
Charlie Sheen was a great foil for her.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:44 AM
Yeah, how dare the internet create something that’s fun!
February 8th, 2011 at 10:45 AM
yeah that was just so much fun..
February 8th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Not anymore, you wouldn’t. Google her. Time has not been kind, my friend. Not at all.
This is a sad sad truth. We can always remember 1980s Sloane though. Never was a fringe jacket more hot.

Needs more oiled-up roidheads in their underwear.

/Mark Howe for the HHOF please.
I support this.
February 8th, 2011 at 11:27 AM
this is great, but there is one big whole in the logic….
Why would Claudell Washington attempt a bunt with an 0-2 count? He only had 5 sacrifices in 1985 so he probably wasn’t a top notch bunter. Seems dubious.
