That's all interesting, but the 100th anniversary of the opening of Fenway Park beats all that.

Ah, nights under the lights in Wrigleyville. . . . wait, that was Lakeview. Gotta love the boys of summer.

The only reason I've stood in the shadow of Wrigley Field, sadly, is that it's walking distance from Boystown.

My sole bit of advice regarding colonoscopies: don't choose the pineapple flavor of GoLYTELY. Sounds delicious and refreshing at first, and it IS for the first three or four glasses, but after you're done you won't want to even look at a pineapple for the next five years.

@4 Thanks, I went with the lemon-lime. Don't like 7-Up anyway.

None of this is very interesting to me, but you get a pass because you mentioned Rick Reuschel. And, goddamn, when are players going to start wearing their pants like that again? I look at a game now and that's all I can see, four inches of fabric pooling at their feet. It's disgusting. I'm old.

@6, most baseball players wear their pants like marching band members.

I think Frank Robinson was the one who popularized wearing the high arched stirrups. Nowadays you have to watch womens college softball to see players with stirrups.

But there are no whales in Lake Michigan. No cetaceans of any kind, far as I know. So it would be weird to have an original Chicago team named the Whales.

@ 4,

Hope everything came out clean. Thanks to my family history of both colon and stomach cancer, I get the endoscopy and colonoscopy two for one special every two years. Ask if they will let you do the Miralax and Gatorade method. It does involve an obscene volume of Gatorade (anything but red colored) and 17.9 oz (510g) of Miralax, but it allowes you to vary the flavor.

I hope yours also went well, Chicago Fan.

It did at the time, Kim, but I'm overdue for another. I keep hoping I can do the pillcam next time, but it's still not available where I am. You still have to do the Big Flush, of course. Thanks for your tip—I'd heard there was an alternative method.

The Cubs losing streak is longer than Fenway has been open, that's the point!

Go White Sox!!!
