Wrigley Thoughts

So Deadspin has a new series on why your stadium sucks. In general, it is true, that your stadium sucks. Unless it's the Jake in C-Town, which is perfect.

But I love Wrigley. I believe I've been three times. Once with college buddy Tony. We drove down, last minute, and bought SRO tix. Sat on a rail, in August, and watched Jose Rijo four (?) hit the Cubs. Ryno did not get a hit.

Second time: Ponder, Pat Fett (may he rest in peace--one of the best guys ever), and one of Pat's grad school buddies--in the snow, at a Midwest meeting. The Reds--again. Hmm. A treasured memory.

Third time--many years later. With TMcD. And that was a Reds game too.

Wait--I've been to three Cubs games, and all three were against the Reds? How weird is that?

Btw, the Deadspin folks talk about the trough urinals, the smell. I grew up going to Tiger Stadium. If you can survive Tiger Stadium . . . Wrigley is like the Disney version.

That's a post of it's own.

Hey Fronesis--I'm watching the pre-game for Game Seven! A shot on goal is always a good play. Yes! Go Wings!!!

Update: The tip. It's on.
