  1. I guess I'm one of the few who doesn't like Wrigleyville. Overpriced, mediocre or worse bars and restaurants, and a pain in the ass whenever the Cubs want to make any kind of changes to the schedule or the stadium. Screw Wrigleyville.
  2. New stadium, 29.
  3. Seriously? Yes, seriously. The Cubs without Wrigley Field just wouldn't be the Cubs to me. Wow. Even more puzzling about this is the fact that you don't even live anywhere near Chicago... Even if you did, though, I still wouldn't get it. Same here. I root for the team, not Wrigley. The Cubs are the Cubs no matter where they play. I'd definitely like to see parts of Wrigley (scoreboard, beachers, biks, ivy, marquee sign) go to a new stadium if its ever built, but I'm all for the Cubs getting a nice new stadium with modern facilities and, especially, a retractable roof.
  4. I want to take my son to at least one game at Wrigley, just so he can have that feeling that I had when my dad took me for my first game. In my dream world we'd get both. The Cubs would build a new stadium but Wrigley wouldn't be tore down. Instead it could become the defacto Chicago Cubs museum and otherwise be used by youth sports and/or college and high school teams. With the Cubs continuing to play a series or two per season there. But then I generally wake up and it's time for work. :( I'm probably one of the biggest fans of the Cubs getting a new ballpark (ideally where Cabrini Green is right now, with the skyline behind the outfield, and tons of parking), but I can't really see a situation where Wrigley would be torn down. It would be too profitable as a tourist attraction and its use for a variety of sporting events and concerts.
  5. That report card is crap. I bet they give perfect games C's ](*,) Guh? They gave him an A-.
  6. How terrifiying it must have been for Theriot with those two grounders in the 9th? If he screwed those up, there's a good chance he wouldn't have left the field alive/not digesting in Zambrano's gut.
  7. Love Z and the no-no like they were my own child, but Kerry's game is one of the greaest things I'll ever see in baseball, period, no matter how long I live.
  8. :shock: Do not spell His name wrong. He will smite you for this offense. :eek: If I actually spell it as it is, its power shall melt me.
  9. Let us not forget... GEOVANY SOTO. I missed the game due to work, and only caught a 90 second clip right after the game was done on the radio saying the Cub won and Z was the player of the game. I felt good enough with those bits of news until I got home and saw what happened. Wow. I feel warm and funny.
  10. Tim is...UNBREAKABLE.
  11. Are they gonna throw Woo-Woo down the slide in the off-chance the Cubs remember how to hit homeruns?
  12. How long until Stone hits a can of corn into Hawk's beaver dam?
  13. Was Eyre peaking out of the scoreboard in Houston this year? If so, that.
  14. sarcasm? Lopez is garbage and should keep his mouth shut, but don't be fooled by '07 Lilly. His '08 numbers are much more indicative of what kind of pitcher he is. Lilly's a good pitcher, but I think he was referring to the fact that theodore likes to wear human skin as a blanket Lilly is just going to slowly appear out of the darkness of the back seat of Lopez' car as he's driving home tonight.
  15. This is on LITERALLY a dozen different sites. LITERALLY.
  16. Google has picked it up: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=chi-ball+cuban OUT OF CONTROL.
  17. *Walks from 1st base to abuck on the pitching mound* It's probably time to let it go. I'm dropping some leadership isht on you because I cover that particular base over there. OK, bye. *Walks back to 1st base*
  18. Nervewracking, awesome game. Marmol and Wood show why they're two of the very best relivers out there by getting out of their jams, plus the defense pulls off some primo plays.
  19. Dear Lord, please lose the creepy cartoon chicks.
  20. This is moronic. Wood has shown all year that when he's used reguarly he's one of the most effective closers in the game. His last two appearances, which took place over the course of a full week, were shaky, yet he still got the job done in one of them. Last night he gave up hits to one of the best hitters in the game and a guy having a career year offensively. He still locked it down besides them and the team won. The blown save against the Reds he arguably "got out of" by inducing a juicy DP groundball that was bobbled, and that on a day where he hadn't pitched in almost a week. Wood has been fantastic.
  21. That's not always the case. I'm pretty overweight. I have a large gut, but no ass. My dad is the same way. I think the "no ass" gene is genetic. Then she needs to stop being photographed from the waist down.
  22. It's not outside the realm of possibility. If he finishes strong and makes his bonuses, he'll make, I believe, over $7 million.
  23. No. 2 years, tops. 3 only if it's a club option for the final year.
  24. Lack of ass = lack of victory. Eat more sammiches, lady.
