Growing up in Chicago, I came to revere Wrigley Field and the jokers upon the green: my then-beloved Chicago Cubs. Great place, beautiful losers. In '69, '84 and '89 they raised hopes so high, only to be dashed. Then the Big Fade - after running up a 3-1 lead over the Marlins last fall in the NL Championship Series. The penultimate Cubbies choke job.

I can handle all of that. It's in my DNA, I guess.

But THIS is too much. Wrigley Field may be deconstructing, and not in the manner of Jaques Derrida or Michael Foucault, either. Ever the civic watchdog, Mayor Daley II is already on the case.

I tremble. What next?
