There Chicago Marathon coverage next week is just a different way of doing it. " Greenstein lives close to Wrigley Field and arrives at the park about three and a half hours before game time. The clubhouse opens at that time, and both the manager and players are accessible for interviews. "I'm sure that is the part that people don't understand," Greenstein said. "People think that sportswriters come to the game about a half hour before and eat hot dogs and watch the game. But you get there early because you never want to allow your competitor to get a free shot. You don't want him to be around the clubhouse when you' re not there. So we talk to the manager and various players for either future stories or the notebook section. And then that's when we eat and play around on the Internet and make some phone calls.
