Where’s the ice?
I had lunch today with a couple of friends almost across the street from Wrigley Field. One friend happens to work for the Cubs. We talked about Fukudome and what may have happened with him – all supposition, of course. We talked about how Scott Eyre ended up being traded, but he also ended up with a World Series ring. Then we started talking about the Winter Classic. All three of us will be there. But guess what? Because it has been so cold here, the ice cannot be put down. It was too cold and snowy for me today to walk over to see if I could peek in and see what was done so far. At this point the snow (and probably ice on top of that – but not what you can play hockey on – and more snow on top of that) will have to be removed before the playing ice can be put down. Let’s hope the weather warms up and the snow/rain/sleet/ice hold off a few days so the project can be completed.
