The Post's Michael Starr reports that Chicago Cubs management contacted producers of NBC's new television show Revolution and had them remove a '2012 World Series Champions' addition from the Wrigley Field sign.

“I’m from the Midwest, and it was not meant as a dig. It was meant as a ‘Wouldn’t that be tragic irony, that I’m rooting for the Cubs and they finally won the year the world ended?’ It was about rooting for a team I have great affection for, but they didn’t see it that way. It’s their team, and I get it.”
We’re happy Wrigley Field was showcased in a new post-apocalyptic thriller which will debut this fall on NBC,” a Cubs spokesman told The Post, “but we simply did not approve the artificial addition to the Wrigley Field Marquee.”
Silly spokesman.
