Take Us Out To the Ball Game

So the brain trust over at MSN came up with a list of 10 places not to meet a mate, and typically Chicagoist wouldnt waste the energy critiquing such a list. Most of the list is pretty harmless, if completely idiotic, until
7. Wrigley Field
The Chicago Cubs havent been in a World Series in approximately 3,000 years. A meeting at their venerable ballpark will be fraught with loser-ness.
We know this article is a joke, in the loosest sense of the word, but wtf? Wrigley is hanging in there against public restrooms and funerals? Ouch. It would be kind of cool to meet your love slave at a baseball game, and its not like the park itself is responsible for the dry spell (ahem, goat, were looking at you). You guys could go to Cubs games on anniversaries, and like, name your dog Sammy and stuff. We think meeting your date/mate at Wrigley indicates that you are both hopeful and know how to have faith, even in dire circumstances, and not that youre fraught with loser-ness. Also, whats wrong with the Military History section of a bookstore?
