I have to go so badly that I don't want to look at how long this line is (a Bob Mantz photo)

This is not the line to get on the Chicago Navy Pier Ferris Wheel. It is the line to the women's bathroom at Wrigley Field. They might as well hand out bracelets and call your number lottery style when it is your turn to pee.

It is this treatment of women by the Chicago ballclub that led model Erin Andrews to dress up as a journalist and sneak into the Cubs locker room: She had to go and didn't want to miss five innings of the game. 

"I need to have makeup, hair and wardrobe done by game time. I don't have time for this crap." Andrews added, "He-he, I said crap. Oh yeah, and I have to study the game too so that I can ask good questions. And getting a sneak-peak is exciting!"  Or at least that is what skipper Lou Pinella reported she said.

Why Cub Carlos Mármol was on line could not immediately be explained. Pinella said, "That's just Mármol being Mármol."

Non-Satire Portion:

Mike Nadel, Chicago sports columnist for GateHouse News Service to whose article my satire is based (though the picture above is real and the lines at Wrigley are ridiculous) read this piece and commented, "Saw it. Liked it. Thanks. Mike"

Erin once really did say, "Getting a sneak-peek is exciting." (Really)

For a photo of Erin at the 2008 All Star Game see Fan Photos

This is Satire and I know the game wasn't played at Wrigley....but I was at Wrigley Friday, the picture presented itself and...well....the rest is Bleacher Report history.

Good Job Jay and here too.

      What do you mean you'll never know. I'll tell you how she got hired. She's freakin hot! That's how.

      Not saying that SHOULD be the reason she was hired, but the reason none-the-less. She's not the best, but eye-candy has never bothered me.

    Wrigley Field is a joke when it comes to fans comfort and player ammenities. As much as we all love it, it's time to go. And that is not satire talking, I'm serious.

      Bob, how can you say that? Sure there are quirks about the ballpark but tell me the truth, can you imagine the cubs playing anywhere else?

      And as far as Andrews is concerned. She got hired because she is hot but she also knows her stuff—most of the time—which is saying a lot compared to other people that are put in front of a camera.

    I didn't see that pic. That's not the ESPN Erin Andrews. She's hot. That chick is not.

    The bottom picture is her headshot from when she was with Turner Sports and the one above that is one of her earlier ESPN assignments.
