    The only way this is true is if there really is no advertising value in having your name on a ballpark. it is true. NOBODY associates Wrigley Field with Wrigley Gum. I don't even associate the Wrigley Building with Wrigley Gum It doesn't have anything to do with associating the name. People don't think United Airlines everytime they think United Center. Certainly it's not the same as a company that explicitly advertises it's name on the building, physically and on paper. I'm not arguing that the benefit to Wrigley is the same as the benefit US Cellular gets from having its name on US Cellular Field (if there is a benefit to that). But there is a benefit. WM. Wrigley Jr. Co. clearly gets some benefit from having its name attached, however loosely, to Wrigley Field. There is no doubt about that. Agreed. It might not be slamdunk obvious, but it's there, especialy with people who know the connection between the gums and the field. Hell, the only reason I've ever bought Wrigley is because of that. I grew up knowing that it was "the Cubs' gum."

    I'm with you. I wish they could just build a new stadium on the land where Cabrini is in the process of being torn down. Bring the beachers, bricks, scoreboard and the red sign, plant some ivy and build a stadium that can seat at least 50,000 and has parking around it. To hell with Wrigleyville. It's a bunch of obnoxious frat bars and arrogant, jerkfaced residents who act like living near the Cubs is a burden.

    Why not leadoff? Don't you want a leadoff hitter scoring? Well, Soriano's OPS is fueld by the big hits he gets, especially his HR's. What happens when he hits a HR? He scores. That's what we want.

    Sadly, yes. It's the Bears. The can screw up even a lock draft pick.

    pvc. premature ventricular complex, i get them sometimes. OK, that's what they're called. I remember my doctor saying "PVC," but was not remembering what the hell it stood for.

    QFT. Gracey wins it now, but I'm pretty confident Lee will own it after the next few seasons.

    ALL HAIL THE PINSTRIPES. Send the Blues back to the hideous jersey hell they belong in.

    Jesus, look at the size of Murts forearms... I like that it looks like Lee just busted Murton trying to cop a feel.

    That sentence structure should be worthy of jailtime. Dear Lord, it hurts to read.

    That sounds like palpitations. I had em because of dehydration & stress. Yeah, that's exactly what they are. Spicy foods, stress, alcohol, sugar, even indigestion can bring them on. My first clue that it wasn't actually my heart (besides not being short of breath, in pain, dizzy, etc.) was that I never get them while exercising. Working out helps relax me, so they're never noticeable then.

    I thought I was having symptoms of this or worse a few years ago when I started getting weird "fluttering" feelings in my chest like my heart was missing beats. I was suddenly getting them several times a day and even several times in succession. I was convinced some kind of heart defect was making itself known. Truns out that the muscle or whatever tha stimulates the heart pumping was basically "firing too often." The heart itself beats normally, but it feels like it's missing beats. I've had several examinations to track my heart and it's fine, bt ma, it freaked me out at first. Apparently pretty much everyone has these, they just vary in how strong they are and are brought on by stress and even diet.

    If Lee is being moved from #3 and we're not getting Roberts, why can't he just hit #2?

    [i find the perception that Harry's "legacy" is being "tarnished" with the celebrities is contrasted by Harry spending booth time during his last game with Tom-freakin'-Arnold. MY GOD, WHAT HAVE LOST?

    Those would all be great throwback uniforms to dust off from time to time. Count me in with the people that don't like the Cuba script. It looks like a high school girls softball team logo. I actually really like the grays, especially with blue sleeves and blue socks pulled up, but I prefer the "formal" script they use now.

    That's what we have the trade deadline for. I can almost guarantee that if the Cubs make the playoffs, you'll see new faces on the playoff roster. Why is it acceptable to wait until the trade deadline to make improvements that you know are neccessary? So we can pay more? There are bound to be players not currently available that will become available by the deadline. There are always teams that consider themselves contenders going into the season that realize they aren't as the deadline approaches. Right. Even the crappiest teams tend to be a little delusional going into a new season.

    A little bit of column A, and a little bit of column B.

    I hear the trade is all but done, but they're holding off anouncing it so as not steal the spotlight from Lee's beard.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I disagree. I think they should have one day a season where they wear red and donate the proceeds to a charity that is associated with red like the Red Cross, or China or something. I don't mind red tops myself. Personally I want some more blue tops (mainly for the roadies). The Cubs current road uniforms suck hardcore. I want the powdered blues back. "And YOU, sir, are worse than Hitler." "*SLAP*"

    Word on the street is that they'll wear throwback unis at least once in 2008. I'm all for classic if "classic" actually means more than 20-25 years old.
