Well, RinaseaofDs....if I’m being honest, I’d have to admit that after my Mets, the Cubbies are my favorite team.
Why, I’m even enchanted by their stadium! I’ve been admiring that ivy-covered wall for 50 years, and I wept when they put in the lights for night games.
That said, though...while I will feel badly for the Cubs’ fanes (I really will), I have no problem at all rooting hard against the Cubs themselves.
This time. If they were playing ANYBODY else, I’d be cheering for them.
Let’s Go Mets!

Going to Wrigley is interesting. ‘Cozy confines’ defines it for the most part, but under the stands are all the concessions. The wind blows through there like you wouldn’t believe.
Anybody walking through would tell you that it is well past time for a renovation. The issue is doing it without destroying the legend of it. Idiots will want to put in boxes and all kinds of stuff - they’ll want to blow it up.
Fenway is similar. I was sitting back behind home plate under the upper deck and a light fixture fell on a fan.
Maybe Yankee Stadium needed a redo. I don’t know. It was fine to me. Shea? I don’t think so. It was definitely in pretty good shape. Fenway needs a redo, but its another park they have to respect when they do it.
I hate Boston, in all its forms. The worst thing about Boston is that they are as corrupt as Chicago, if not more so. If you are from there, the rules don’t apply. If you are not, they will hit you with every rule there is to screw you over.
In Detroit, Philly, and Chicago, corruption isn’t even a secret. It’s a given. In Boston, they pretend to be upstanding but are the polar opposite. And all of those colleges don’t add up to a hill of beans. You hear how a team of inmates beat Harvard’s debate team a couple of weeks back?
If that isn’t an indictment of the value of a college education, I don’t know what is.
