1. Get to Wrigley by no later than 9:00am.

 

2. Get 3 soft tacos (no lettuce for good luck) by 10:00 am from the Taco Bell across the street from Wrigley. From the same lady I get my beautiful tacos from every year for the last 7 years.

 

3. Honor the Ernie Banks/Harry Caray statues.

 

4. Be in line for the bleachers no later than 10:20am.

 

5. Enter bleachers (RIGHT FIELD) at 11:20 and heckle the Rockies as they warm up.

 

6. Get an Old Style and Nachos immediately and pray for lefties to send a HR ball our way during BP.

 

7. Repeatedly ask Milton Bradley "HOW MANY OUTS!?!?!?" and have him wave his fingers at us with the amount of outs currently in the inning. (This practice would normally be frowned upon except when you see a veteran like Derrek Lee forget how many outs there are and cost his team an inning.)

What the hell is wrong with the world?

This will be my first day of working at Wrigley Field! I'll probably stop at the McDonald's first and get a mcgriddle and a large coffee, and eat them inside the park just because I can.

 

 

Anyone can bring food into Wrigley.

RIGHT FIELD SUCKS! RIGHT FIELD SUCKS!

Yep. Soriano does the "how many outs?" thing too.

 

He makes for a surprising amount of entertainment. The dude gets bored pretty easily and likes to have fun with the bleacher bums.

Seriously, say what you will about him as a player - but he's hilarious out there with those fans. He's one of the best about giving balls to kids, too.

lol, yeah. Problem is anyone can do that.

 

It is really awesome to sit there and watch pitchers (i.e. Zambrano) take BP and crush one after another onto the street. That's actually something that fan's can' do.

Yeah, in all my years of going to games he's definitely been the most fan-friendly player out there.

OOps. I guess what I meant to say is that, yeah, I plan to head inside the park at like 10:30 or so, and eat my breakfast in section 204, just because I can. That's not something everyone can do.

And I guess this would be as good a time as any to give a shoutout to Roast, who's been really awesome with giving me advice about the job fair, the interviews, and training, and everything else! Thanks, Roast!

:D No problem. Hope you enjoy opening day! I wont be working until the Friday game against the Cards. Stupid School.

I'll probably be all Cubbed out from April 11th and 12th :)

 

But seriously, I need to work all day but I have gameday on the work computer, and gameday on the iphone. I'll be covered.

Definitely investing in the gameday app for my ipod touch. Only gets WiFi internet, but inside my school is where i'll need it, so that won't be a problem.

She's actually addicted to crack I think.

 

But what's so wrong with lucky tacos?

It's that your "lucky tacos" come from Taco Bell.

 

And then you pack on the horrible Old Style and awful Wrigley nachos to go with it.

 

Plus, you make sure there's no lettuce to help push all of that gunk out of you.

 

In short, your anus is probably classifed as a WMD on opening day.

It's one day a year.

 

Sorry my opening day traditions are different than yours.

One horrible, terrible day for anyone sitting in a 100 foot radius around you.

 

When Milton Bradley is blasted by one of your toxic farts, is blinded and slams into the bricks, we will all be sad.

Maybe I'll continue the tradition at the Sox game the week following, then. ;)
