Don't bring a Baez to a dong fight.

 

baez is allowed to dong fight at coors

 

iirc he already has 3 career HR there lol

 

He'll never have another lol

 

over/under 40%?

 

As a Cub?

Under, for any team, unless the Mexican league starts playing at Coors.

That's cheating

Tom Ley of Deadspin's 947 "Wrigley is a mess and the renovation wasn't necessary" articles is a big Rockies fan. I would like him to be very sad about baseball for the next few days.

[SouthSideRyan]

Yeah, when the idea of Wood in front of Hammel came up the other day I theorized it was more about getting Wood his start faster(he's thrown 6 innings in like 20 days), but avoiding San Diego and their RH exclusivity makes sense too.

 

And despite being somebody who thinks the Reds will be better than most believe, a win against the Padres is probably worth more for playoff implications.

i'm sorry, are we of the belief that wrigley isn't a mess?

That would be self evident. Don't need a steady stream of like two articles a day to tell me that, though.

[abuck1220]

it's too bad you're legally mandated to read deadspin then.

[ctcf]

I took a minor annoyance with constant coverage of something related to my favorite sports team on one of the most popular and widely read sports blogs and then made a harmless remark about it on a message. What a fool I have been.

 

oh abuck. It's nice to have your relentless dickishness outside of the movie thread.

Speaking of Deadspin's Tom Ley making fun of Cubs related things, this one is actually amazing: http://deadspin.com/local-cubs-broadcast-intro-is-just-a-disaster-1696736658

 

Did anyone catch this during the ABC 7 broadcast yesterday?

It's way too fast to catch it at full speed.

Holy [expletive]. I'm surprised anyone caught that at all.

Yeah, that's the real issue I have with it.

 

abuck just still thinks they don't have water fountains

But they just brought in like 70 of them this week.

I don't think it was necessary to [expletive] the renovation up.

That and the portrayal that this was part of some planning screw up rather than a fluke occurrence. They had enough bathrooms, but a set of them failed opening night. I'm not sure how close to the renovations that failure was or how tied in it was, but in any case, short of having tens of thousands of people do a dry run, I don't think that problem is forseeable based on what we know. Of course, I don't expect that type of nuance from Deadspin, so it's just an annoyance seeing them run a half dozen stories in a week about it.

It'd be one hell of a coincidence that said fluke occurence happened at Wrigley following offseason renovations.

[Guest]

I don't doubt for a minute that they could be related, I'm just oversensitive to the over the top rhetoric that implies the Cubs were planning on only having 5 stalls and 10 urinals in the whole stadium.

[abuck1220]

ok, so we're admitting it's a mess, but we're saying it wasn't the cubs' fault.

[jersey cubs fan]

I believe it is a mess that was entirely expected and not that big of a deal and the fault, to whichever extent there is fault to consider, lies with the Cubs.

Pretty much my stance.

Breaking news: Major construction project is messy an inconvenient and doesn't adhere to original schedule.

So ready for baseball today, you guys. I want a winning record.
