Ice Hockey At Wrigley Field: The End Times Are Here
If you think it would be fun to see Chicago fans reach onto the field of play and try to interfere with a puck instead of a baseball for a change, then you're in luck. The NHL's second Outdoor Winter Classic game will pit the Chicago Blackhawks against the Detroit Red Wings at Wrigley Field, accordi...
It's So Cute When Newspapers Fight Over The Cubs
The Chicago Sun-Times announced earlier today that Katie Hamilton, a 22-year-old college student, won its "Zell No" video contest. The newspaper says her entry "chastises [Tribune CEO Sam] Zell for pondering the sale of Wrigley Field's naming rights." What the paper didn't seem to realize was that H...
Are You Ready For "Torco Field" On The North Side?
We haven't weighed in yet on the notion that the Cubs might change the name of Wrigley Field, but let us say that it would make us, and just about everybody we know, incredibly sad. There'd be no more sad sign of our times than having drunk postcollegiates stumbling around Bank of America Field. Ev...
Welcome To Levitra Field, Home Of The Cubs
So, much grumbling today over the latest blasphemy in Chicago: Owner Sam Zell says he "wouldn't hesitate" to sell the naming rights to Wrigley Field. Of course our friend Mariotti is all in a sweaty panic over this, which kind of makes me think it might be a good idea. But then I'm not a Cubs fan. H...
Probably Time To Retire The Seventh Inning Stretch At Wrigley
We recognize that we are saying this as a dastardly Cardinals fan who roots for the Cubs to lose even when they aren't two games ahead with just more than a month to play, but we still think we're at least slightly justified when we say this: It's probably time to knock it off with the seventh innin...
Love Your Local Beer Vendor
We'd never heard of this before, but its existence makes us extremely happy: It's the Beer Vendor Association, consisting (apparently) of only Wrigley Field pourers. They even have their own trading cards....
If You Want Soriano, You Have To Deal With This
We don't like to think of ourselves as stuffy traditionalists ... but this, friends, just makes us sad....
Lord Help Us: They're Doing The Wave At Wrigley
Our personal favorite moment of our night at RFK Stadium was when the tiny smattering of Nationals fans spread throughout the place tried to cobble together a version of The Wave. The response of our Deadspin corner was instantaneous: We scoffed, scowled, booed, grumbled. We were very proud....
Opening Day At Wrigley
We received a call from a friend of ours about an hour ago, asking us to break into their email and look up some Evite information. Why? Because they were heading to a Wrigley Field Opening Day part just down the street from the old yard, and they'd lost the directions. Our friend is a Cub fan. We...
Blogdome: The Freefalling White Sox
• If the White Sox actually blow this lead, will manager Ozzie Guillen just starting killing people, randomly? It seems somewhat likely. [Baseball Musings] • Contrary to lazy popular opinion, not all members of the Portland Trail Blazers are on drugs, or even bad people. [TrueHoop] • Was last night'...
