For those of you who know me, there is one thing that worries me during the postseason more than terrible managers, suspect defense and Bob Howry...idiot fans. Seriously. I know it's dumb, but I spend more time obsessing about over-turned cars, broken windows and the general douchebag-ery that goes on after the smallest Cubs victories, that the idea of this team going deep in the playoffs gives me hives. I actually pray for clinching on the road at times. Sad, but true.
This is just is one of a hundred ridiculous Cub-related things that I have no control over, yet continue to let bother me every waking hour of the day. That's why this article in the Sun-Times gave my a moment of peace for at least 30 seconds.
No beer in Wrigleyville: A seventh inning stretch?
Bars and restaurants around Wrigley Field will be asked to stop serving alcohol after the seventh-inning stretch -- just as they do inside the ballpark -- to prevent Cubs playoff celebrations from turning ugly.
Ray Orozco, executive director of the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, said the proposed seventh-inning cutoff -- discussed at a playoff security meeting Monday -- would occur "only if it's a clinch game." Liquor sales could resume once the game is over, he said.
Sounds like a plan. I know that one less hour of drinking wouldn't make a lick of difference for most of the drunken masses, but maybe...just maybe, it keeps some guy from turning to his buddy and saying, "You know would be cool? Let's set the bleachers on fire!"
Just saying.
Go Cubs
