so our company outting is this friday.

as part of that, a select few can go play on the field before the game.

per the company email...
the clinic is an exciting opportunity to run the bases, hit some balls with Cubs players and run around on the field.

the question is, go play on wrigley or sleep in for a couple of extra hours.

    Woohoo! We are inviting you to play at the nation's shittiest ball park. Run some bases and then go piss in a trough with all of your closest friends.

    I'd pass. Or go and re-enact Zambrano's famous rant.

    I would imagine you would be arrested and most likely never allowed in Wrigley again if you re-enact the Gatorade machine one. Just start a fight with someone.

    i just start ranting, running around and pulling ivy off the walls. they don't like people touching the ivy. before you go on the field, they give a stern warning about it.

    If you're not selected to play on the field, then stay home and sleep.

    If you are selected to play on the field, go for it. Awesome to see the perspective from the point of view of the players.

    i was selected.....it is cool to see the stands from the field. the downside is, you have to be at the field at 7:45 am, which means i would need to be up by 6 or earlier to make the commute

    Clearly they selected the cool people. You should go for it. Smoking toddlers everywhere would be proud.

  • I think if you get to play on the field they should at least add some realism to it. Ill come with you and Ill sit in the bleachers and throw beers at you guys, then lie and say it was the guy next to me. After all, it is the Friendly Compounds, right?

    You should definitely go. I mean, how often do you get the opportunity to play around on a major league baseball field? I can't stand the Cubs and Wrigley Field makes me sick, but I would prob still do it.

    having done it before, the thought of getting up at 5:30 to hang out on wrigley for an hour than sit around an empty ball bark for a few more hours, just doesn't excite.

    seriously, the sleeping in thing is really that big of an issue???

    I would do just about anything to be able to do something like that, what a blast

    I missed the part where you’ve already done it before, but still.

    I’m volunteering for the Phillies blood drive next weekend and we get a tour of Citizen’s Bank Park – the dugout, the locker rooms, get to go on the field - and I’m like a little kid waiting for Santa, I’m so excited about this. :lol:

    I think it sounds like one of those things that is a lot more fun in theory than it is in real life. I know that if I'd already done it once, and was still so indifferent that I had to get others to weigh in on whether or not it would be better than sleeping in, I'd just sleep in.
