Sunday Afternoon at Wrigley

Yesterday I woke up and was finally able to eat and drink something. I had toast and some water. Jessica came over and we played Rock Band for a while. Oh, did I forget to mention that we upgraded to PlayStation 3 and that Dallas got Rock Band when I was in Cape Cod? We did. So we played some new songs that Dallas had downloaded. Then we headed over to Wrigley. Jill and Brian gave me two of their tickets so Jess and I went to the game with them. On the way over we were so hungry for pizza. There were two pizza-by-the-slice places we went by but neither were open. This is not NY for sure! Finally we just went to Taco Bell by Wrigley Field and ate bean burritos. A nice first meal after not having eaten for like 30 hours!

The game was fun. It was nice outside and the Cubs won. There was a little baby with a family in front of us.. probably 9 months old? Less than a year, I think. Jess got a popsicle and that baby sure did want it! Brian was teasing her for “teasing” the baby. I think this was the first game that I didn’t even have one beer or hotdog at. I for sure didn’t want to drink after being so sick on Saturday.

After the game we walked Brian and Jill home and were going to head back to my house, but accidentally got distracted by shopping on Southport.

Cubs vs. Braves

June 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Jen, Chad and I were at Sports Corner having a beer and waiting for Paul Baker to arrive. The game started and immediately Atlanta scored 3 points. I thought the Cubs were done for. We went into the game and Atlanta only got two more runs during the game. The Cubs ended with 10 runs to win!

“The batter’s eye” is an area out in center field that is directly in the line of site of a batter waiting for the pitcher to pitch. At Wrigley Field they’ve turned this area into a private suite that you can rent out and appropriately it’s called “The Batter’s Eye.” I believe that the windows are tinted dark on the outside so that it doesn’t distract the batter during the game. On Friday night Killian and Liz had their rehearsal dinner at The Batter’s Eye. There wasn’t a game that night but it was still really neat to be in the stadium.

Killian and Liz had their wedding rehearsal dinner at The Batter’s Eye at Wrigley Field. Part of the deal was that we got to go into the stands and take photos. It was really super crazy to be in there when it was empty. Usually there are so many people you can’t walk. So weird to see so many empty seats.

Cubs Brothers

Killian grew up on the north side of Chicago and is the biggest, lifelong Cubs fan I’ve ever met. He and Liz, and actually all of us, have spent a lot of quality time with Killian at games or watching games or talking about the team. One of the very first times I hung out with Killian and Liz was in the bleachers at Wrigley. To have their wedding announcement displayed on the Wrigley Field marquee must have been a dream come true for Killian. After everyone got their photos taken we went to Goose Island Brew Pub for one drink (man, it was HOT out) and then it was off to the rehearsal dinner.

The brick in the last photo is in the ground just off to the side of the Wrigley Field marquee. Malachy told me that Killian purchased it as a Christmas gift one year for him and Naoise.
