It looks like that Toyota sign that is supposed to go up in left field might become a reality sooner rather than later. Personally I’m opposed to it since it sticks out like a sore thumb and ruins the ambiance of the field.  The city agrees with me on some level and is trying to [...]

Maybe the f-bombs are a bit much, and the guy who gives him the finger right in his face definitely deserves to get punched, but in general what did this idiot expect? His shit-eating grin really says it all.  This man did not get up that morning and think, “I’m going to support my team [...]

Going to Wrigley Field for a beautiful day at the ballpark is pretty much the greatest thing to do on a summer day in possibly the greatest city in the world for spending a summer day in general.  Whether you’re a real Cubs fan looking to cheer on your team, a dumb hot sorority girl [...]

As a member of Generation “I Don’t Have Time to Follow Real News”, its hard to find time in my day between work, following sports, and doing nothing to actually figure out what’s really going on in the world. That’s where Comedy Central’s Daily Show and Colbert Report come in. I love Colbert’s schtick, and [...]

Okay here’s the deal, although I would argue that most Cubs fans are as good of fans as any White Sox fan, there are definitely some that only go to the games to get drunk and pick up chicks (or dudes, I’m not judging).  Even if that is the case however, the remaining real Cubs [...]

Remembering Air McNair from his college days.  [Paneech] Did anyone read that Phil Rogers piece the other day about how Zambrano should be waived?  Yeah he’s an idiot, and here are the stats to prove big Z is one of the best pitchers in baseball over the past few years. [Wrigleyville23] Apparently the Bulls are [...]

Remember those “(hispanic player) mows my lawn” t-shirts?  Well they spawned all kinds of discussions about baseball fans being racist, but apparently Ozzie didn’t care about all that.  In fact, it appears he purchased a shirt of his own on his way to work at Wrigley this morning: White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was amused [...]

Red Kerr got screwed out of extending his Iron Man streak back in the day under very strange circumstances. [NBC Chicago] Cubs-Sox is coming up the next few days, but boy have the Cubbies been god-awful at the plate lately.  [Zoner] Brandon Marshall wants out of Denver and the Bears need a wide receiver.  Why [...]

I went to Wrigley Field for the Cubs-Astros game on Saturday.  Bobby Scales scored on a walk-off hit to win the game after Gregg blew a 4-run lead in the 9th.  While the game itself was exciting, and my seats were insanely good (thanks Ethan), the real highlight of the game was my attempts to [...]

I don’t know how many of you have attended a Cubs game yet this season, but if you have, then you noticed the Cubs air the Luna Carpet jingle at least once a game over the loudspeakers.  Not only is it annoying, but it also cheapens the game.  Cubs Marketing Director Matt Wszolek seems to [...]

Theriot got his first TOOTBLAN of the year last night.  Oh and Ramirez threw one in for good measure. [Wrigleyville23] The Bulls won a big one down the stretch.  Back to 7th with 4 games to play. [Bulls Blog] Cubbies blew it in the 10th.  The bullpen has looked really good though. (UPDATE: I’m not [...]

Whether you’re a North Sider or a South Sider, this day has been a long time coming.  Every winter seems so long, waiting for the new season to start.  Not that I don’t love football and the NBA, but there’s something magical about baseball season. It’s a new year for everyone.  From the Cubs down [...]

Zambrano made some ill-advised comments this weekend about Wrigley Field.  After seeing how nice the new Yankee Stadium was, Big Z had this to say: “You come into a ballpark like this and you see great things,” the Cubs ace told The Associated Press on Saturday before his team’s 10-1 exhibition loss at the sparkling [...]

The debate rages on over night games in Wrigleyville.  I personally have an aversion to them for 2 reasons.  The first is that I lived in Wrigleyville and its a residential neighborhood.  The people who live there have been promised over and over again that traffic and noise issues would be controlled and have been [...]

I know what you’re thinking, “I need a sweet, borderline inappropriate, yet hilarious t-shirt.”  Well you’re in luck.  Scroll down about an 1/8 of the page over at the Dong and look on the right. [Luol's Dong] The trade deadline is an interesting phenomenon, here’s a look at the history behind it. [Hardwood Paroxysm] What’s [...]
