Happy Fucking Anniversary, Wrgley Field, you dump!

FTC, up 5-2 in the top of the ninth, coughed up five runs in the ninth frame to choke and lose again, 7-5, in the Wrigley Field 100th Birthday Game. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Fuck off, CubFan!!!

I keep thinking I went to Wrigley last year, and then remember that I went to Fenway.  I'm not sure which is worse.

What do the Cubs and Marlins have in common?

Neither has won the WS in their new ballpark.

In my opinion, Wrigley is worse. I went to Fenway last year. It's more open.

Wrigley is a serious dump.   And the fans there are pretty obnoxious drunks.   I remember watching a game from the bleachers (I believe Wandy was pitching that day) and there always had to be some idiot who was obnoxious to the opposing team's fans.   I guess there were a few level-headed folk there that day, they were the ones NOT making an ass out of themselves.

Since Henry et al took over the Red Sox in 2002 Fenway has steadily become a more pleasant place to take in a baseball game.  Back in the '90s, it was a dump equivalent to Wrigley.  However, the Cubs have done little to improve the amenities at Wrigley since then.

Isn't a cake that's made from mostly non-edible parts, just a model?

Been to a few ball parks ....I've flip flopped back and forth but I'd give Wrigley the edge over Fenway as the best ballpark in baseball.yeah they're old ...that's a plus in my book.....
Remember Jesus Alou being called out of the 1st base coaching box to pinch-hit a double vs. the Reds in '79 I think, to win a crucial game, and he patted Morgan on top of the head (ala Benny Hill w/the little bald guy) and Little Joe got pissed.....yeah,that was great.

I hate the Cubs but love that stadium.

Sat in the bleachers for a 4 game Astros series in August 2004. That was the series with about 15 beanballs. And we won it 3-1 to start our amazing run to the playoffs.

The bleachers are a cool place to watch a game if you're drinking like the rest of the slobs there.
