Sweet home Chicago? Not for Mets

Let me start by saying Wrigley Field is my favorite ballpark in all of Major League Baseball. If you haven't been there, get there. If you have, you know what I mean.

As much as I despised the Cubs in the mid-80s and their overrated bleacher bums (especially that bleacher preacher guy), there is nothing better than sitting in Wrigley Field, ice-cold 16 oz Old Style in my hand and watching a ballgame.

My first trip was in 1989 when me, my brother Mike and Gregg saw the Mets get swept in a 3-game set that buried their NL East chances.
