Photo of the Week: This Picture of Jack White Scowling at a Cubs Game Is Already a Meme

"Baseball has become a nice new thing to include in my whole tour this year whenever we could possibly do it,"

Jack White told me when I interviewed him

at the outset of his Lazaretto Tour just last month. And he wasn't just yanking my chain — he's been spotted at

at Cardinals games

and, well before that,

Sounds games

. But the above shot of the former White Stripes frontman is the one that's making the rounds today.

You see, last night White (and his bassist Dominic Davis) watched the Cubs beat the pants off the Padres at Chicago's famed Wrigley Field. And as you can see in the shot above, White looked to be having a rotten time when he appeared on the jumbo screen. In all honesty, the clip of White you can see after the jump shows that he clearly was doing just fine (is that his daughter Scarlett at his side?), but that doesn't stop the momentum of this glowering, scowling screen-grab. It's already making the rounds on sites like Boing Boing, The AV Club and Consequence of Sound, with some folks turning the shot into an image macro (like this one, or this one). Go, little meme, go!
