The Chicago Cubs’ Home Opener is finally here. \u00a0 Finally….<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I say, ‘finally’ because it is torturous to have a week’s worth of baseball without opening Wrigley Field. \u00a0 The bars are empty. \u00a0The tourists have, yet, to arrive, and there is a general hush over the\u00a0neighborhood- a freakish silence that is just wrong<\/span> during the regular season.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thankfully, the real opening day is only hours away. \u00a0It is like the\u00a0anticipation\u00a0of Christmas, birthdays and summers all packed into one day of playing\u00a0hooky\u00a0from work and heading to the bleachers.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
By 10am, we will be making our way to Yak-Zie’s on Clark<\/a>\u00a0and then, heading to our bleacher seats by 12:30pm. \u00a0Given the anticipated rain and cold weather, we have already laid out the winter rain gear which looks strangely likes our Bears gear but whose going to judge?\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you are ambitious, ESPN’s Mike and Mike<\/a> is kicking the morning off by broadcasting from Murphy’s starting at 5am. \u00a0But, its a long season; I have to pace myself. \u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
