TWO THINGS ABOUT SPRING IN CHICAGO: THE CUBS AND DROWNING VICTIMS

THE END OF THE SEASON FOR THE CHICAGO CUBS, BUT...

A few hours ago, the Cubs lost the Wild Card to the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field. But we have to remember this as a society: when the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years in 2016, just SIX days passed before this asshole was elected President. Not Gacy, the other guy. Gacy just thought of Trump as his personal hero.

I think 2019 is a better year. It will be after the Midterms.

YEP, THERE'S A NIGHT GAME AT WRIGLEY FIELD

A LITTLE LATE FOR 8/8/88

Caught up with other things these last few days, and will get back to the After Hours post soon. But here's the Cubs first night game. I turned 50 on 9/9/99. And I yelled in the mirror Nein! Nein! Nein!

The game was a rainout. The Chicago Way.

NO RAIN POSTPONEMENT FOR THE CUBS OPENER AT WRIGLEY

OPENING DAY AT WRIGLEY FIELD 2017

I've never written a baseball story or even used Wrigley as a scene in any of my works, so allow me to indulge on the fact that the Cubs are playing the LA Dodgers as I type this. They, of course, had a rain delay, this being Chicago in April. I took a photo from earlier in the day, as hail came down. Here's a ffew Cubs and Wayne related images.
