There’s a Pizzeria Uno near Fenway. There are better pizzerias in Chicago, but whatever. A Legal Sea Foods would be a fair cultural exchange, but they would have to serve sandwiches and chowder to go up until game time for night games.

The place is fine, but it needs a new centerfield scoreboard.

To use Craig Calcaterra’s presumably unintended double entendre in a joke is acceptable. To use ‘fruit’ as a synonym for homosexuals is not.

Just don’t make it another stupid bar, like Rebel or John Barleycorn. The Wrigleyville crowd could use a little…cultural enhancement.

Chickens and Turkeys are carnivores (and naturally I might add). Cows are also carnivores, but that I’m afraid is not natural.

He’s either a closet carnivore or roiding up a la Jeff Bagwell

You know that Wrigley Field is on the edge of a neighborhood affectionately known as Boy’s Town, right?

I know that’s what I would do.

One McDonald’s won’t be sufficient.

Maybe they can put in a KFC and a drive thru liquor store for the bullpen while they’re at it.
