Hey, maybe Lillibridge will be productive for a change.

[Schwarber Fan]

With Barney back, no reason for Lillibridge to start, and when Stewart comes back, no reason for him to be on the roster.

what will you do if he continues to slug .520?

[Old Style]

Somebody put one in this [expletive]'s ear hole please.

 

“It’s one of the worst places in baseball for, well, just about anything,” said Berkman, who has 289 mostly miserable career at-bats and a .215 batting average at Wrigley. “I really don’t like it. I read where they got approval for some more upgrades. Count me in the group of people extremely happy to see that. I guess I’m just spoiled.”

 

But what about the history, Lance?

 

“There is a tremendous history associated with it and there is something special about playing on the same field that guys like Babe Ruth did,” Berkman said. “But really, what kind of history is there? It’s not like there has been one championship after another. It’s mainly been a place for people to go and drink beer.”

Still want him to get on base more often.

[Sammy Sofa]

He's mostly not wrong.

[imb]

youd think that fat [expletive] would love a place where he could sit and drink beer

[Guest]

It's also got a great history of LIGHTNING, Lance.

Bravo.

I demand that gif, now.

[neely crenshaw]

You know I feel for Lance. It must be very difficult to play a game, and cash a huge check when you have to play at older places that don't have expansive, lush clubhouses or indoor batting cages. I'm sure he's used to that beautiful astrodome or the centerfield where he had to run uphill to catch deep flies.

I think we should organize a telethon to help with these hardships. He may be right on many issues there, but he comes off as a baby and a bit of a jag.

[Sammy Sofa]

Why? He just says it's a dump (and it obviously is, especially for visiting teams), and is even self-deprecating in doing so. It's clearly in the context of "this place is a shitty ballpark and I'm a rich ballplayer saying so" instead of "oh, it's so utterly horrible for me to have to endure this misery." You fat crying babies. Everyone should point out how terrible it is.

[pitchcs]

With Barney back, no reason for Lillibridge to start, and when Stewart comes back, no reason for him to be on the roster.

 

 

Why is this even a guaranteed thing? Isn't he looking like complete [expletive] in the minors right now?

[bcl412]

I don't mind calling it a dump. Wrigley is one in a lot of aspects but saying there isn't any history because of no championships is annoying.

Yes, but it's been two games and he missed most of spring training.

You're right; the years the Bears played there were pretty awesome.

[pitchcs]

I understand, but why not just leave him down there until he starts producing a bit?

History=winning? That's stupid.
