supposed to be torn up this winter. they were built in the '78-'79 offseason.

watching the astros tonight; they installed LED lighting at MMP and it's practically daylight in there. have to believe the cubs will retrofit the existing standards for LEDs when the two new outfield towers go in next year.

That ball went directly over my head. Incredible. [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo] I was way back in the LF corner. ears were still ringing hours later

I signed up for the waiting list in '04. Finally bought tix in '10, got crushed in the market (I live ~600 miles away) and let them go. Immediately got back in line and now I'm at 33,556.

appears that they didn't bother to retouch the photo - you can see it is in a state of demolition. for some reason this design reminds me of the mesa facilities

back in ye olde times the marquee was in prime position to be seen from the streetcar. you get the same effect now from the clark bus. imagine seeing "playing here" and jumping off to buy tix.

i never really thought of this, so i was a little confused by this comment at first. however, i did find this http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N0qDKRsrWVo/SWQCddkLm7I/AAAAAAAAAIk/GD3ivBjb2z8/s320/Wrigley+Home+Of+Bears+1939.jpg did they replace the entire marquee? that was the best pic i could find best I can tell, they had two sets of panels. "HICAGO CUBS" and "HICAGO BEARS." (the photos from today show the first "C" was static.)

Plainly demonstrates how easily they would have swapped in the "CHICAGO BEARS" panels back in the day. Seems that would have been very innovative for its day.

best places to stand are in the back of 200 at the corners where you are clear of the overhang

mr. and mrs. rocket are good people, I will yell about len and kent in public with them anytime, anywhere!

may this be the last time we get jobbed by aaron harang

bullpen night is now, haren is tomorrow wood to start

My suggestion is to turn your tv onto Fox That is what I thought too, but Fox is showing the Blue Jays vs. Yankees. I'm only 50 miles south of Chicago and haven't ever seen the Cardinals or Reds blacked out before. Strange. FOX is only showing St. Louis/Cincy in local markets because it started later than the Yankees/Blue Jays game because of the suspended game completion it made no sense, should have been handled just like a rain delay ... start with the out of market game, join the in-market once it starts

Huge for the pen - no one of consequence was used.
