The Troughs Stay!

HAHA!

 

Damn, this thread is actually making me laugh this Morning.

Solution: Piss before the game.

 

Obviously you aren't aware that beer is a potent diuretic, especially when you have six to ten.

 

And that's before the game starts.

 

Real fans know to pregame elsewhere, as the ballpark beers are expensive.

 

Also, real fans get drunk enough before the game that they forget they don't need to keep drinking the expensive ballpark beers all during the game.

Although, I continue to drink during the game - and after.

Oh yeah, I have a philosophy. Go hard or go home. Generally speaking when I head to a Cubs game, I crash at a friend's house the night before, wake up and hit the bars about 2-3 hours before the game starts. Then I keep the beer vendors busy until the game is over. Grab dinner, hit up the bars, and head to Carol's around 2 and stay til they kick us out.

 

One of these days, I'll be too old to make that trip. I already find I can't do it nearly as often as I used to be able to.

[C.C.]

The best thing about Cubs game is you always find a reason to get smashed! Cubs win lets party! Cubs lose - they suck! lets get hammered!

I hope this becomes the longest thread of this offseason.

 

This is another one of those conventional stats that doesn't get enough respect.

In the pre-renovation days of Soldier Field, the bathrooms were so lousy (and there were so few of them) that people pissed in the sinks

[CliftonHanger]

I vaguely remember my first trip to wrigley as a young lad. I was propably about 8 or 9. I walked into the bathroom to throngs of men peeing in troughs. I had no idea what was going on. I found the first available spot and started doing my business. It wasn't until I saw a guy washing his hands next to me that I realized, I was pissing in the hand sink!!! OOPS!!!

And terrible. I don't care if it's tradition: Old Style is horrible and the Bud the vendors serve tastes like it's been watered down as much as possible.

[CliftonHanger]

I am quite the beer snob after working in bars with vast assortments of microbrews and inports. HOWEVER, there is nothing like the taste of a warm old style on a hot summer day. It tastes like . . . Baseball. I have an uncle in milwaukee that gave me a light up Old Style sign wahen I was about 12 years old. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Old Style became my trademark drink of choice through out my teenage, college, and early to mid 20's. When I was in college, everyone else was drinking Keystone light, or Milwaukee's Best. I was the ONLY person who always had Old Style. If we were at a party and I saw someone else drinking an OS, I knew it was mine. Eventually, everyone knew to keep their hands off the OS, or it was your ass. I bitchslapped a freshman in front of his girlfriend once. It was priceless.

[SouthSideRyan]

the website i got the pic from said it was in the clubhouse and it is what the players use. certainly could be wrong.

 

I assume that that's just the "quick access" facilities for players and umps during the game.

 

We should probably check with Roast to get the truth.

[mdwilla]

i had no idea that this:

is what players have to use. wow. awful.

 

 

This is the urinal directly behind the dugout to use during the game/between innings. I have used it while on a tour! :good:

[Bote McBoteface]

I don't know what's worse, the people who hate Christmas music or the people who hate troughs.

 

Weird. Only thing i find more ridiculous than listening to Christmas music is pissing in a trough at a professional baseball stadium.

[chuckywang]

The throughput for the troughs are amazing.

[JeffH]

One year, a friend of mine went to the Daytona 500, where the bathrooms were equipped with troughs.

 

He was standing at the trough doing his business when he noticed a stream of urine passing him on his right.

 

There was no room at the trough, so a guy located a decent sized gap and pissed through it.

 

Anybody have any "pissing into the trough from the second row" stories?

Okay?

[baseballfan50]

I always find troughs a bit disgusting and unsanitary. Keeping the troughs there doesn't really seem like a renovation.

Unsanitary?

 

So quit licking and touching them.

[Fro]

It's gross, but it's way more efficient than urinals I would think.

[SouthSideRyan]

What's gross about them?

OH MY GOD IF I CATCH A GLIMPSE I WILL BE THE GAY.

I've always been a stall man.

To pee?

 

I always assume those people have deep psychological problems and are probably child molestors.
