Wrigley Field was half circus, half Ben Kingsley movie last night
The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. —
Hey, Postmen readers! Perhaps it’s been a while. I hope you’ve enjoyed the numerous FanHouse links that have now fully covered our front page. Allow me to apologize — things are slowing down here, perhaps permanently. Busy busy. We’ll keep you posted.
In the meantime, you should watch these videos of Wrigley Field last night. There was this big old storm, you see, and it came crashing down on the North Side of Chicago — tornadoes, huge winds, lightning — it was biblical and terrifying. Most of my neighbors lost their power. I ...
Elvis Entertains Cubs Fans During Rain, Tornado, Monsoon Delay
FanIQ Blog —
... It's clearly a distraction and a danger to the players. But if there's a rain delay, and the world's greatest slip n' slide presents itself, streaking the field should become necessary rain delay entertainment.
For example, Elvis here and his buddies during the Cubs monsoon delay took quite a dive. This is all good fun, nothing to send out 16 security guards to take care of.
In case you're wondering, it was 70's night, which might help explain the Elvis outfit.

TARPING ACROSS WRIGLEY IN A FLASH

... night in Wrigley, that's an inning less of YMCA costumes and people in Rick Monday jerseys. But it did make for good fun during the various rain delays and tornado warnings, as a guy in an Elvis costume took an impressive glide across the tarp. Though I gotta say '70s Elvis probably wasn't that nimble on his feet. Not his fault, really. Just happens that peanut butter and banana sandwiches laced with barbiturates, though tasty, are a little high in fat. And death. Who knew? [Big League Stew]

She's A Jar: Today's Afternoon Game
Walkoff Walk —
... 2:20, Astros at Cubs: After last nights crazy, wacky, Elvis filled, rain soaked affair, the teams take the field today for what ought to be a much more tame afternoon. It's 82 and partly sunny with a 20% chance of precipitation in The City With Broad Shoulders, in case you were wondering. Magic Wandy Rodriguez takes on Magic Rich Harden. Harden has allowed 3 measly ER in his past 24.1 innings of work. That's pretty fucking stellar.

Elvis Fears No Tornado
FanHouse —
... pretty nasty weather in the area. I mean, tornado sirens going off in the city nasty. Still, while the gusting winds, horizontal sheets of rain, and the sirens sent most of the people at Wrigley (including your humble blogger) running for cover, they weren't enough to keep Elvis (oh, and it was 70's night too) from living the dream one last time. He may have died on a toilet, but he'll live forever on that tarp and in our hearts. (A set of fake sideburns to Big League Stew) Permalink | Email this ...

... , which make him sound positively bloggeriffic: "He said, 'I don't need a day off,'" Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "Reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated." Yes, we can only hope. For that and more footage of slip-n-slidin Elvii , that is.
