Opening Day! But not for me

cardstix.jpgCardinals fan wife was lucky enough to score a ticket, left, to St. Louis' Opening Day on Monday. I probably could have claimed a ticket, too. But then I realized I'd be watching the Cardinals and Pirates and thought better of it.

So CFW will be accompanied by her CF friend, Sandra while I toil the day away at work.

I've never been able to score an Opening Day ticket at Wrigley. However, I have never tried extremely hard to get one. Weather-wise, an early April afternoon in Chicago can be a crap shoot. Odds are it'll be crap.

I remember several years ago I did go to the Cubs' second home game of the year. There was a snowstorm the night before. They had the field cleared off for the game. But I still had to brush rock salt off my seat and wear about five layers.

Now, this isn't to say that if I were to somehow come across a seat to the Cubs home opener (April 13 vs. Colorado 1:20 p.m.) I would turn it down.

But really, I'll be just as content to have Pat and Ron in my ear while I'm upholding the appearance of working.
