I saw these Wrigley Field nachos by Azteca sold at Strack and Van Til. I thought it was odd that they were not even in the refrigerated section. I bet they are disgusting!

Cubs vs. Astros (again!)

The band played Happy Birthday for someone :: Wrigley Field, Wrigleyville, Chicago

Brian and Jill invited us to go to the Cubs game on Monday night. Dallas is travelling for work, so I brought Paul Baker with me. I say vs. Astros “again” because I have seen the Cubs play the Astros at least 3 times (1, 2, 3) and even saw the Mets vs. Astros when I lived in NY. The first Cubs game I ever went to was against the Astros. Kind of strange, I think, since I don’t even go to that many Cubs games each season. This was my first game this season. I had fun. I hadn’t seen Paul Baker for a while. And I hadn’t seen Jill and Brian since we found out they were expecting and now Jill is about 7 months along. She looks great! Kind of bummed I’m going to miss her baby shower this weekend. The Cubs won in the 13th inning, we all sang the song, then went home and went to bed.

Oh, and outside the stadium. Do I even need to say anything about this? Some of these shirts are so offensive, and not just because they are slamming the Packers. Who buys these?

Taco Bell Wears a Cubs Hat

August 14th, 2008 · 5 Comments


Taco Bell, Wrigleyville, Chicago

I noticed yesterday that the Taco Bell drive thru sign (Clark/Addison across from Wrigley Field) is wearing a Cubs hat now. Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t remember seeing it before. Then again, I try to avert my eyes from Taco Bell when I go by it because I will have a killer craving for a bean burrito if I look at it. I don’t remember the hat when Jess and I ate there before the game a few weeks ago, but I was in pretty rough shape.

A Flickr search shows the hat there in 2005, 2006, and 2007, but this photo that Jocelyn took doesn’t have a cap in 2007.

Am I terribly unobservant? Do they take the hat off and put it on at different times? Was it only off in 2007 to update the sign?
