Friday night baseball
I'm ignoring that right now we are losing 5-1 in game 2, ok? And that Zito has 5 K's in a row. None of that is happening.

I'm instead going to add to yesterday's whine about the Cubs game tomorrow. It's the FIRST EVER night game at Wrigley on a Friday night. Why is that? you might ask. The answer is that there is an ordinance that a) limits the Cubs to 18 night games per year and b) prohibits night games on Fridays.

But I guess when major league baseball decrees that the cubs will have a friday night playoff game...

I think it's probably good for the Cubs and for the city, but will be awful for people like me who live there. And there are lots of us, which is why Wrigley is in such a unique situation. Remember, there are NO large parking lots that service Wrigley. Lots for 10-20 cars that belong to businesses are usually full of bar-hoppers on friday nights. Now add 35,000 baseball fans...

And a garbage hauler strike. This should be fun.
