Wrigley Loses Her Roof

Wrigley Field Roof

Now, this here is a storm to remember.

It is dumping buckets out there and blowing like a son of a gun.
Blowing hard enough that a roof panel on Wrigley Field came loose and ended up on the sidewalk. The police have shut down Clark and Addison near the old ballpark while they clean up the mess - and hope more don't come flying off.

We sent Jeremy down there to take these pictures. In the top one you can see the biggest pile of debris right under the old marquee. And below here you can see that pieces of that roof are strewn about all over Clark Street. Pieces ranging from the size of home base to the size of a baseball.

We even got us a souvenir out of the deal:

  2. Jeremy,
    I have some cold Shiner and Lone Star waiting for you, you dumbass.
    Please just don't start chewing or smoking the tar -- I know you're tempted to...but it's made from Indiana cow crap. So it ain't Skoal or Red Man, okay? Nice pics, however. But it still won't buy the Cubs a good starting rotation.
