Sometimes it's just fun to sit back and watch a game without having to explain yourself to inebriated people. <br /><br />If I find myself in Arizona when the Sox play an interleague game there, I'll definitely get tickets. Hopefully that will be soon.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-24378068319698666582009-05-15T16:43:00.000-05:002009-05-15T16:43:00.000-05:00I asked about the hat as back in 2007 I went to a ...I asked about the hat as back in 2007 I went to a D-Backs-Cups game at Chase Field where the fan-dom is 50% Cups and 50% D-Backs fans. <br /><br />My buddy and I went dressed in our White Sox stuff, (even though we have D-Backs stuff to wear)just to piss off all the Cub fans out at the Chase. The funny thing there were alot of other fans dressed in White Sox stuff at this game.<br /><br />Hope fully next year the Sox will have inter league play in Phoenix??<br /><br />GOGOSOX60GOGOSOX60https://www.blogger.com/profile/04536101210272537783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-61418354728636644992009-05-15T01:55:00.000-05:002009-05-15T01:55:00.000-05:00No hat.

I guess the black hoodie (with white inside) that I had on could be construed as being the colors of the White Sox. Otherwise, I went stealth.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-30498924884503726492009-05-14T19:58:00.000-05:002009-05-14T19:58:00.000-05:00What kind of hat did you wear?

They had cheap decent dogs.....<br /><br />My last Cup visit was back in 1991 for a game. Funny thing my Dad took me to Bat Day 1962 for my 1st Sox game, and I don't really remember it (Luckily I have some home movies of that visit) but remember my 1st visit to The Wrapper in 1964, how ever I think I remember this more because of the EL ride to the game from the south side.<br /><br />Keep up the good info, hopefully the Sox will win a couple of games in Toronto!!<br /><br />GOGOSOX60GOGOSOX60https://www.blogger.com/profile/04536101210272537783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-78549215453637803262009-05-14T16:29:00.000-05:002009-05-14T16:29:00.000-05:00Sounds like you had a good time!!

Between half innings there was music blaring loud enough to where I couldn't hear myself think.<br /><br />Addison was a madhouse before and after the game. I'm glad that I didn't drive.<br /><br />How well would a stand with Chicago foods do out in Michigan? I've been toying with the idea of trying to get one up in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, since there is a huge ex-Chicago population and no authentic food.<br /><br />All in all, it was a good day. I didn't feel like traveling all the way to Cleveland to see the White Sox. Plus, the Cubs tickets were free. Can't beat that!<br /><br />It was cans of beer poured into an itty bitty plastic cup. Not my idea of a bargain. Plus, I hate beer. Give me a Mike's Lemonade any day!Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-78510971042591856312009-05-14T00:45:00.000-05:002009-05-14T00:45:00.000-05:00At first, I thought that a $6.50 beer was a good d...At first, I thought that a $6.50 beer was a good deal (for a ballpark) and then I remembered that it was Wrigley and I relaized that is was probably a can. Not so good. <br /><br />Either way, sounds like you had an alright time.zman40https://www.blogger.com/profile/07221290018484413350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-27189092879297931532009-05-13T16:40:00.000-05:002009-05-13T16:40:00.000-05:00Sounds like a sweet day Steve - I wish I had docum...Sounds like a sweet day Steve - I wish I had documented by trip to citi field bettersteveisjewishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839190582747609410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-70090196580432620302009-05-13T11:33:00.000-05:002009-05-13T11:33:00.000-05:00Holy Cow!

These seem to attract more of the party crowd compared to the day games. <br /><br />I made almost the same commute to Wrigley last year. We got a ride from Oak Lawn to Midway and then took the Orange Line to the Red Line. I do like that public transportation makes the trip so much easier.<br /><br />And now I am hungry for a Chicago Dog, which is nowhere to be found here in Michigan.Wrigley Waxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609243184562074109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-58227915108713398392009-05-13T09:27:00.000-05:002009-05-13T09:27:00.000-05:00Thanks for the detailed rundown of your day!

Didn't go to a game, but drove past Wrigley. The traffic was a nightmare! But the pizza was the best I ever had.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-53994842878622088892009-05-13T08:37:00.000-05:002009-05-13T08:37:00.000-05:00I just went to Wrigley last week with relatives.

While I'm a Sox fan, it is nice to watch a ballgame once in awhile where you're not berated with constant promotions (the same ones over and over, I might add) and loud music any second the ball is not in play. As for Cubs fans, I have seen some that are really into the games and others that are just there to be there. I have experienced the same at The Cell. I have been to a few Sox games where the crowd really gets into every inning, and other games where they only become excited when they see a home run. Or when the jumbotron tells them to get loud. Sorry, I recently read "The Summer Game,' so I'm a bit bitter...<br /><br />Go Sox!Haydenhttp://haydenandapryl.com/noreply@blogger.com
