Catmobilers: Baseball in Chicago??!!!

[phesina]

I seem to recall Cassie and her mom talking about the Cubbies playing the White Soxies in June, and wouldn't it be fun for us all to head off there next?!!! Cassie, when ARE the games? We haven't missed them, have we?

Just think, bagpipers and Scottish dancing during the 7th Inning Stretches!

*sings* Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town!!!

Oh hell yeah!! Always wanted to visit "the windy city"!!!

[momcat]

With the crew still on the road, they might be headed out that way. The last message I got from Groucho said they were checking the maps and looking for another place to visit. Maybe they were mapping out the route to Chicago?

[moosmom]

WOOHOO!!!! Break out the weenies and popcorn, the Catmobile Crew is on their way!!!!!!

Okay, I got up this morning and noticed AGAIN that my atm card is gone and all the spare cash I had!

[catmandu]

My Dear Old Mr Scrappy is a Big Cub Fan so he will be there.
My Pouncer is a Jays fan, and My Moose loves the Brewers or at least thier Sausages!!
I know that Our Angels LOVE Baseball. so expect a good attendance.

Cassie here. The games are June 20, 21, and 22 (a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday). All three are evening games down at U.S. Cellular Field. That's a good place to take in a ball game because it's right off the expressway and the parking is pretty good. We called the box office and reserved a sky box for the kitties and guess what? They said the bagpipers and dancers can perform the National Anthem AND the 7th Inning Stretch! Please come to Chicago, kitties. We can get easily to either O'Hare or Midway for pick-up services, just tell us which airport and what day.

This is so exciting, Cassie! Who will they be playing against? Will the game be on television here in Trenton? Be sure to remind all of your fellow kitties to bring their sunglasses. Also, you might want to ask anyone who has an extra baseball glove to bring it so everyone will have a chance to catch a foul ball. Groucho and Soncat will be outside practicing their pitching (they're both lefties) and catching.

Momcat, the Cubs are playing the White Sox. They used to do this for one game each season as a charity event before inter-league play started. They'd switch off each year between Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park.

Be sure to remind all of your fellow kitties to bring their sunglasses. Also, you might want to ask anyone who has an extra baseball glove to bring it so everyone will have a chance to catch a foul ball.

Kitties: What Momcat said! Cassie will have the binoculars she got for the Belmont Stakes so everyone can catch the outfield action. The skybox has its own balcony so we can sit either indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather. All three games start at 7:10 PM and the kitties can go to one, two or all three, depending on what else the kitties want to do while you're here in Chicago.

I'm beginning to think Franklin and The Princess are never coming home....
Text from both: Need more $$, Cubbies are cool.

sigh......

Kitties, the two teams are also playing at Wrigley Field on July 1, 2, and 3. All three are day games. Friday, July 1 and Sunday, July 3 are 1:20 PM starts; and Saturday, July 2 is at 3:10 PM. I had my food lady book us a mezzanine suite for all three games. Like the Cell, Wrigley's suites have both indoor and outdoor seating from which to watch the game. So ... kitties ... it's up to you if you want to see them play at U.S. Cellular Field in June, Wrigley Field in July or both (or neither).

Purrs,
Cassie

p.s., if you stand behind home plate at Wrigley Field, you're facing northeast; and at U.S. Cellular Field I believe you're facing east.

[Pinot's Mom]

I had sent a message to Pinot, as the Catmobile is still on the road (and suspiciously silent), and finally got a message....from the Catberry....

"~~~sigh~~~ MOM, you REALLY don't have any faith in us, do you?? Of COURSE we have this covered! We'll be at the June Cubbies games, of course, where did you think we'd be? Sheeesh! I've been in contact with the kitties who aren't with us yet, and we'll be picking them up. Anyone who hasn't called me, please check in!

Love you, Mom!

Purrs, Pinot"

[phesina]

Pinot, we're in.. bagpipes and dancing shoes and kilts and all!!!

[katladyd]

My boys are all excited about going to a real life ballgame! Ming, of course, can't wait to play the 'pipes with the guys.

[momcat]

Elyse, I just got a message from the Catmobile contingent. Several of the kitties are asking if either of the stadiums have a haggis stand along with the hot dogs and popcorn places.
