    The Giants wanted to rebuild at the site before the city put in the housing developments.

    Burns was not lamenting the demise of the stands themselves. The end of a long history at that site, and the end of NL baseball at the place where NY baseball got its start were his focus.

    Apples and oranges. MSG was a name carried to multiple sites, but the Polo Grounds, in all incarnations, was always located at the base of Coogan's Bluff.

    This project is moving along. A decent hotel adjacent to the ballpark would be fantastic IMO. http://www.suntimes.com/business/2265592,wrigley-lake-view-apartments-051210.article

    Through the course of baseball history, the Cubs have been involved in exactly two pennant battles that garnered national attention - Merkle's Boner and the Bartman incident. The Merkle incident was extensively covered in the original series, and I'd bet money that 2003 will get its due in the new eps. I'm amazed that some of our more historically-aware posters are questioning the importance of the Polo Grounds. Just scratching the surface, we see that three MLB teams called it home over the course of 73 years, beginning in 1890. It was the site of 14 World Series, the Merkle incident, the SHRTW, the ascension of Babe Ruth and the entire Yankee franchise. MLB as a national concern was basically born at the Polo Grounds.

    I can agree with that.

    He keeps getting the job done. How long do we wait to give Jimbo/Rothschild credit?
  8. J.R.
    He has found a way to irritate millions more.

    [expletive] YEAH!

    Shutdown inning, please.

    Cubs fans used to chuck rotten fruit from the bleachers. Maybe that was easier on the players' feelings.

    I had completely forgotten Bynum. The mind has miraculous healing powers.

    The run differential looked good until Saturday night's debacle.

    The circumstances surrounding the ballclub also contributed to the reaction. Fans would have been more forgiving had we not just given up another late lead.

    The booing didn't become noticeable on the TV audio until that last play, where he let Hanley advance to 2nd on a ball he booted. Alyna Banks would have been booed for that play.

    [expletive] disgrace.
  17. J.R.
    I am no mood to hear from this [expletive]. Keep the conductors off the air.

    Eff the haters Sori.

    Wind baby.

    Effing night games.

    WTF The testicle talk is bad. The hockey talk is even worse.

    The Central Division is just awful enough to justify any and all measures to resuscitate this team.
  23. J.R.
    If Jimbo won't, it's time for Ricketts to step away from the toilets and Toyota signs and make a baseball move.
  24. J.R.
    Get a room.

    MLB Network coming with the highlights after the break.
