Now, admittedly I haven't been to Wrigley in probably 7 years, but I don't remember the food being very good, at least not compared to say...every other ballpark in baseball.


But they have bison dogs now!

Seriously, though, I can't remember the last time I purchased food for myself at Wrigley.   Seing as how they still honor the time-tested tradition of bringing in your own food, I don't get why people would spend their money on Wrigley's overpriced junk.  I walked in yesterday with a  big ass slice of pepperoni pizza from Bacci.  It only cost me 5 bucks.  For a dollar more I could have eaten a piece of crap from Connies from the Wrigley concession that would have been an 8th of the size.  
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Seriosuly, though, I can't remember the last time I purchased food for myself at Wrigley.   Seing as how they still honor the time-tested tradition of bringing in your own food, I don't get why people would spend their money on their overpriced food.  I walked in yesterday with a  big ass slice of pepporni pizza from Bacci.  It only cost me 5 bucks.  For a dollar more I could have eaten a piece of crap from Connies from the Wrigley concession that would have been an 8th of the size.  

And if there's anything we don't need around it's portion control.

Meh. 

Bacci slices = giant + not very tasty.   I'd rather have the Connie's...but that's just me.

I liked the bison dog. But then again I'm just one of those suckers who will pony up $5 for the convenience of not cramming a slice of pizza into my fanny pack.

Here's what really made my stomach turn: Ricketts told Sullivan that he's becoming "close" to the players. Close to the players?!? Ed and Vag McCaskey got close to the players until Brian Piccolo died, and then they said never again until they met Walter Payton in 1975. (It could be that they said that only because between the time of Piccolo's death and Payton's drafting, the Bears didn't acquire one solitary player worth a shit, and their best player was busy suing the crap out of Vag's dad.)

Then George and Mugs died, and the McCaskey's were in control again, and Michael roamed the sidelines and played the part of "regular Bears fan..."

Are people really annoyed by Ricketts already?  I was planning on at least giving him one season to completely fuck things up before I start calling for Mark Cuban to save us all.
