he feels extremely accomplished that he just insulted how a baseball field and people smell. Whatever lets him sleep at night.

… that he got caught by the Sun-Times fudging his expense reports and got fired.

So he can go to the nearest pay phone and call someone who cares.

Here’s to him getting a job with another Chicago Paper, covering the Cubs. It should be fun to watch him squirm and wiggle if that happen

If you don’t like Wrigley, don’t go there. There are plenty of other people who would gladly buy the tickets.

If you insist in seeing the Cubs play in a new faciity, buy tickets to a game in Milwaukee when they play our friends to the north.

Sounds like a writer that has simply run out of things to write.

If he loves the United Center so much, he should marry it. Wrigley Field is a completely different kind of venue and experience. Now I’m glad I’m not interested in hockey so I don’t have to worry about running into this genius on a regular basis.

and he could easily have written this stuff about the ’Hawks if they were still in the Stadium.

From fan coziness, the Stadium would never have matched the UC. From the ambiance and thunder (no outer wall was more than 100’ from the ice surface & the 3,663 pipe organ was the real deal) nothing on the planet could match the Stadium. But the Stadium also had overflowing johns almost every 2nd intermission, at least where I was in in section X Mezzanine for 17 seasons. The Mezz aisles were as cramped as can be and I’d put the smoke content up against the top-100 bars in the US, at least at that time.

So when it comes to Wrigley, yes there are things to be improved upon. We ALL know what can be done on the concourses & the johns. But nothing – and I mean nothing – will match the experience at Wrigley from the stands in today’s game.

Kiley simply misses the point of Wrigley and likely would have dumped on the Stadium too if it had still been the home of the Blackhawks.

Well, tomorrow is turkey day. Give thanks for all you have; I know I will.

Friday will be decorating day and then I’ll be watching Maine South defend their 8A football title in Champaign on Saturday.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone at BCB!

Cubs fans…need to be drunk to ignore their decrepit surroundings.

Yeah, I’ll never forget when I saw that group of ten-year-olds drinking Old Styles. I asked one kid, “Hey, what are you guys doing with those beers?” Kid says, “Are you kidding, dude? Look at this dump!”

They really do say the darndest things.
