My Kind Of Town, Chicago Is
First, in a move obviously calculated to orchestrate a third-place finish in the wild-card standings, the Cubs pick up one Neifi Neftali Perez (Diaz). Good luck, guys.
Second, no sooner did I book my flight to Chicago for the September 14 & 15 Cubs games against the Pirates does the city of Chicago demand a positive report on the status of the crumbling Wrigley Field.
Tell me, since I have never been to Chicago, which is more dangerous: Going to Wrigley to see a game and possibly have a chunk of concrete fall on your head, or merely going to the South Side of Chicago to Comisk--sorry, U.S. Cellular Field--to see the transplanted Cubs play? I'll take my chances with the falling rocks. I don't want to go to the White Sox park to watch the Cubs.
