Excellent.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/cubs-want-more-kid-friendly-wrigley-field-could-190225420--mlb.html I'm all for it if they bring back that terrifying bear costume.

Probably, unless they're half-assing it.

It never will. He's posturing so that it can look like the city will "give" him something; my guess is it will be centered around an agreement to fix up the Sheridan L stop, something the city already needs to do and probably would have done in the relatively near future anyway. I haven't taken it in awhile, but I thought the Sheridan L stop was just fixed in the past year. I think it received some extended maintenance, but nothing compared to the overhaul that some of the other Red Line stops have gotten in the past year or so; it's still pretty much a dump. Plus I thought I saw something about Tunney and co. wanting it "expanded," so maybe they want it to become a Purple Line stop as well? Not quite sure about that last part.

Lucroy had a .881 OPS last year and a 3.9 WAR while missing about 50 games due to a broken hand. He's one of the better catchers in baseball. His good partial season doesn't sway me more than the body of work, although in fairness it was better than my memory. ZiPS ranks him tied for 13th among catchers and 7th among American born catchers, behind Posey, Mauer, Wieters, McCann, Zunino, and Avila. Why are Jimmy Rollins and Eric Hosmer on this team? Troy Tulowitzki and Prince Fielder busy? I get the pitchers skipping, but why would the hitters? Because they too play the game of baseball and could end up injured.

This. Tunney is a gnat in a thunderstorm right now. The city wants the Cubs to stay and maximize the revenue for both sides without the city paying for it, and the path to that resolution is obvious right now. Tunney doesn't even count as a roadblock; he's just bitching because he can right now. While I agree, relying on Chicago politicians for anything is risky at best. That's pretty pointless hyperbole; the Cubs are a huge moneymaker for the city and this has to get done to keep that going and, ultimately, make even more money. Tunney has next to no influence/power when it comes to getting this accomplished. So why haven't they told him to [expletive] off yet? Because there's no need to and that's not how these things are handled. He knows his role and he knows he's going to squashed and he's trying to make as much noise in the meantime so it looks like he's doing something. The Cubs and the city will do what they need to do regardless of Tunney.

Nothing to add except thanks for the post/thread. Really helpful. -
It wouldn't.
-
Not debatable at all. It's a grain.

On the Cubs' Facebook page after they posted about Rizzo hitting a HR for Team Italy: The [expletive]?
-
I know we really shouldn't engage him at all, but this is pretty wonderful.
-
Good point.
-
Oh, you're doing this again.

Yes, the battle over the 25th man spot will be the wobbly block that brings down the mighty Jenga of the Thoyersetin regime.

I haven't watched much of LeBron's Heat tenure, but when he was with the Cavs he probably got beat up on drives to the basket as much or more than anyone in the league(often times without calls). Definitely. The guy is just a freak. It's pretty great to watch.
-
GOOOOOO.
-
Holy [expletive], what the [expletive] is up with that sweater.
-
It would be impossible to ignore with Tubsy McManTits there.
-
I desperately want him to somehow find a place on the team. The combination of a dingus fat white guy clashing with the hilarious terrible defense and inevitable charges of lack of hustle would make the meatballs' heads implode.

Noah's a really good #3.
