Simply The Best
As the Cubs and Sox kick off their annual home and home series Friday at Wrigley, in honor of the six games here are six reasons why the Cubs have a better shot at the World Series than the Sox. DEPTH Since we are looking forward to October, let's look back at recent fall classics. Why did the Red Sox win [read more...]
Opening Day 2008
Is there a better hooky day than a Monday baseball opener? Never before have the Cubs opened at home in March. I was not about to sit this historic day out. 6:15 I rise with this thought dancing in my head- which do I wear to the game…my vintage Moonlight Graham jersey or the Cubbie parka? I have four [read more...]
The Fairs And Fouls Of The Friendly Confines
When people ask me about my job, I like to tell them that I share an office with Carlos Zambrano and Lou Piniella. And while that's technically not true, it sounds cool and has some aspects of accuracy to it. In reality, I'm a Wrigley Field seat vendor, which is a fancy title for a guy who walks around the [read more...]
A Rare Day in June
It is observed that fans continue to come to Wrigley no matter how poorly the Cubs play. This fact is seen by White Sox fans as a sign of stupidity and by others, Dayn Perry for example on this site, as counterproductive. Why put a winner on the field when you can fill the seats anyhow?

Sacrilegious, sure, but Northsiders have been for weeks dealing with the Passion -- of the Cubs.Perhaps the greatest threat to the success of either? Overwhelming expectations. Gibson's film is purported to contain the most graphic and realistic representation of the last hours of [read more...]
Only in Chicago
Thursday, February 26, 2004 It is a strange thing to be a sports fan in Chicago. Fans here are among the most rabid, most loyal creatures in the universe, but with this comes a strange type of depression, bordering on schizophrenia. Chicagoans love to win; they wish nothing more than for their teams to win championships, but the ownership of the major [read more...]
Cubs Get R-Rated … Good
Put the kids to bed, or cover their eyes. It's time for the Chicago Cubs to move up - in ratings. Call the FCC if you want, but we're getting Rated-R - Finally.Time to darken the tender sunshine atmosphere, and add more night-ball at Wrigley. Inserting extra night games into the Cubs schedule not only adds to a national appeal, it [read more...]
