We were in the same room as Nick from “New Girl.” Marinate on that for a bit.
Also, did you know he’s from Evanston and a die-hard Cubs fan? He also digs a particularly awesome bar in Old Town.

For the new commercial for “MLB: The Show 12,” they simulate what it might look like if/when the Cubs finally win the World Series, complete with a Weiner Circle celebration and absolute madness on Clark St. Thoughts?
i knew nick offerman was the best forever and always..
but the cubbies hat reaffirms it all.Give me all the baseball teams you have.
Craig Robinson is from Chicago. Nick Offerman is from downstate Minooka, IL, so he probably grew up watching the Cubs on WGN. Both were active in Chicago theater before their TV stardom.
It’s like a…hot Cub time machine! (Too much?)

Mystery solved.
Gapers Block tracked down Amy Bergseth and got the real story about the Wrigley Field brick that attracted @JasonSegel’s attention while he was in Chicago over the weekend.
Spoiler: Her dad bought it for her.
This could be the Cubs’ new “L” flag. See more fake T-shirts.
Some would/should be Cubs shirts were in the RedEye this morning. Check em out on the interwebz.

Book Indicates Wrigley Faithful Care More About Beer Prices Than Winning
Well, this is some important research:
From 1984 to 2009, “attendance was more than four times more sensitive to beer prices than to winning or losing.” That sensitivity is evident at the concession stand. A beer at Wrigley Field, Scorecasting reports, costs just $5, cheaper than everywhere except at Arizona Diamondbacks and Pittsburgh Pirates games.
Tickets to Cubs games, on the other hand, have followed a different trajectory. Since 1990, prices have increased 67 percent (the league average is 44.7 percent). Only the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox command more.
