      Racist Rhetoric ‘Round Wrigley
      An assumed homage to Chicago Cubs’ rookie slugger Kosuke Fukudome (batting .328 and slugging .463 through the first 18 games of the season), a street vendor began selling t-shirts outside of Wrigley Field that are raising eyebrows. The shirts feature Japanese-style lettering, a modification of the “cubby bear” mascot (with slanted eyes), and the phrase “Horry Kow,” which mocks the way a speaker with an Asian-language accent might say the late Cubs announcer Harry Caray’s famous “Holy Cow!”Though the story broke over a week ago, Rahula Strohl began an online conversation about the appropriateness of such a slogan (as well as the tendency of Cubs fans to wear martial-arts style headbands to the games this year) on the ChicagoSports.com blog “What’s Goin’ On” Sunday.

      Cubs Find Suprise Underneath Wrigley Field Dirt
      The Chicago Cubs are completely renovating the playing field at Wrigley Field this offseason, including digging out 14 inches of dirt and sand and hauling it out in 350 semi-truckloads.It's early, but everything has gone smoothly so far, including hiring White Sox head groundskeeper Roger Bossard to supervise the project.However the project has already yielded a surprising find. Buried between first base and home plate were concrete blocks used to secure football goal posts when the Chicago Bears played at Wrigley Field. When the Bears finished their last season at Wrigley in 1970, they removed the goal posts but left the concrete blocks under the field.Head over to the Chicago Tribune to read the full article.

      The first pitch of the game was a homerun, but not for us.The Cubs made it so far, and were red hot in September. To watch a team crumble like that, especially in our house, was awful. It's really depressing actually. Yeah, last year they finished in last place in their division, and this year in first, but hopes were so high in Chicago. Walking around Wrigleyville 5 hours before the game started, people were excited. This town was on fire. High fives in the street- everyone smiling. By game time we were so fired up, the game was already won in our minds. But, the baseball gods had other plans last night. They wanted the other team to celebrate on our field. Next year, it will officially be 100 years since they've won a World Series. That could make a good story...

      American Dental Association Falls for Wrigley's Self-Promoting Study
      The nation's largest dentist group now says gum can be good for you, as long as it's sugar-free. The American Dental Association said Tuesday it has awarded its seal of acceptance to Wrigley sugar-free gums Orbit, Extra and Eclipse -- based on studies funded at least partially by the maker of Wrigley gums, Chicago-based Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. It's the first time the ADA has allowed its seal to appear on gum after clearing it for thousands of other products since 1930.I'm appalled, although not surprised, by the behavior of the ADA, which took more than half a century to wake up to the dangers of fluoride. Folks, chewing gum is bad news, no matter what claims Wrigley tries to make. Your body was not designed for constant chewing, which stimulates your stomach to produce acid and digestive enzymes in anticipation of food it will never receive -- which eventually can lead to a vairety of digestive disorders.

All Billy Cub wants is to be able to entertain his fellow die-hard Cubbie fans, but the big baddies at Wrigley do not allow costumed fans into the ballpark. Therefore, Billy Cub is forced to hob-knob with fans outside of the park. The following is the background story according to Billy Cub's web site:Billy Cub lives in the magical land of Belonore Ivy.

      Gum Review: Wrigley’s new “5″ gum
      Wrigley is introducing a new sugar-free to the market called simply “5″. The plan is for a mid to end of July availability (UPDATE: They say it’s August now), but they’re also going to be selling it at a few boutiques in LA, Miami and New York beginning this week. I had these on my candy radar and unexpectedly received a bunch of packs in the mail for an early review. (Have I mentioned how freakin’ awesome it is to get free candy unexpectedly in the mail?) Wrigley’s 5 gum is squarely aimed at the teen/young adult market with its trendy black envelope packaging. The slogan is “5 is the new black”. They even claim that the package glows under blacklight. Since I just so happen to have an arcade lit with blacklights, I tested it and wasn’t impressed - no secret messages or anything, but all the 5’s on the package “popped” out. The packaging is quite cool though. It’s probably the best gum packaging I have seen

      Friday Morning Headlines, Oz Does Wrigley Edition
      "Feelin firm, Aramis. Oh, and nice homer." Bruce Miles wants you to know something Rich Hill is good, and the Cubs have only won games in which they've received a quality start. Rich Hill, who may be supplanting Carlos Zambrano as the staff ace, turned in his third quality start in as many outings during a 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night. Hill worked 8 innings, allowing just 4 hits. That's a far cry from the minimum requirement for a quality start: at least 6 innings and no more than 3 earned runs. So how "quality" has Hill been so far? "He's pitched as well as anybody in baseball," said manager Lou Piniella, whose team split this two-game series to improve to 6-9. "Three outstanding back to back, and today, we really needed some innings to rest our bullpen one more day. He gave us exactly what we wanted." Cubs pitchers have tossed 9 quality starts this year, and the team has gone 6-3 in those games. In the games when the starter failed to turn in a quali

But you've been sold some propaganda, comrade. In terms of marketing, Wrigley Field is bottled water. Can you imagine how hard our ancestors must be laughing at our rush to pay for water in plastic containers?I get so tired of seeing Wrigley on everyone's "Best Ballpark" list year after year, so it was very nice to see a writer -- in Chicago, no less -- speak truthfully without a concern for fan backlash.

      Rick Morrissey Declares Wrigley A Dump
      Rick Morrissey chimes in today on the should-we-or-shouldn't-we-blow-up-Wrigley-Field debate. And according to Rick, we've all been had: Wrigley Field is still a dump. Several years ago I used that very word, dump, to describe the ballpark. At that point, chunks of concrete were falling onto seats at Wrigley. The place was showing its advanced age, had a hygiene problem and lacked many of the amenities that could be found in more modern parks. People reacted as if I had said their mother's mustache needed a trim. I understood. You don't imply that a beloved ballpark's landmark status should be changed to pockmark status and think you're going to get off easy. But aside from measures taken to stop the concrete from falling on Cubs' fans heads, not much has changed from when I wrote that column in 2004. Neither has my opinion: We've all been had, not that there's anything wrong with it. Ignorance is bliss, and so is a beer on a sunny summer day. I think of Wrigley Field as the
