Because that is not a cost effective way of renovating the stadium, and there are other ways of increasing revenue from the renovations that have nothing to do with the signs in the outfield.
-
Okay then that will work out great when it is determined your building is unsafe for occupancy and you can no longer conduct business there.
-
Really? Are you an architect, Kyle? You can modernize Wrigley Field, give it the revenue streams to make it comparable to other large market parks, and unequivocally not disturb the rooftops...... Renovating and putting up new big signs are not the same thing. You can absolutely renovate the park in a major way without interfering with the rooftop agreement. The Cubs don't want to do that though.

Hmm. I watched that video, and didn't come away with that feeling about Ricketts at all. I felt pretty good about it, actually. Like maybe our erstwhile owner is finally going to do something that will benefit us as fans. I'm not talking about the video. Within the last year, he's compared them to the neighbor stealing your HBO. While funny, it's uncalled for, given the contract they have. That rhetoric worked fine while in the process of negotiating the first deal, but it makes you look stupid when said while you currently have a contract specifically sanctioning that activity.

Yes, they really destroyed the lives of those 14 people that brought up a folding chair to watch the game. I mean, it's not a big thing to be concerned with by any means, but that is definitely cooler than the monstrosities now (not that I blame them for monetizing their views). In a world where nostalgia is always better than present day, sure. In real life, no.

Yes, they really destroyed the lives of those 14 people that brought up a folding chair to watch the game. That's not what my point was. They saw a way to make a [expletive] of money with little or no investment on their part. They didn't create any entertainment for their patrons - they let someone else do it for them and had minimal expenses(liability insurance, if even that) for years and years. Good for them, but their time has run out. Again, that's how business works. That is no different from sports owners that bought $50m franchises and saw their value skyrocket through the growth of spectator sports in general. They bought the property and refurbished dingy old pieces of crap buildings. They invested in an opportunity.

Not changed feelings, but playing to the camera a bit. THERE WAS ALREADY A CAMERA CREW THERE AND WE KNEW THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING TELEVISED ON TELEVISION VIA CAMERA THAT WAS MANNED BY A CREW WHOSE JOB IT IS TO CAPTURE MOVING IMAGES FOR DISPLAY ON THE SCREEN

There is just no way this happens with Jeter if he played for any other team in his career. -
A little bit of that and a little bit of being positioned exactly in the right spot. Mostly the latter.

Really, you want an even longer drawn out ovation for him?

When I was about 12 years old I was at a sporting goods store with my mom and bought a Yankees t-shirt that was on clearance for like $8. When I got home my dad expressed shame in me that I have never noticed before or since, and I never wore the shirt and have no idea what happened to it. I don't even think they were particularly good when I was a kid, they were just always the good bad guy team in movies and I liked it. I feel the same sense of shame for all the douchebags clapping for him and probably justifying it by saying how he is the anti-Sosa.

that ended up closer than I thought it would

2014 Defending SC Champion Blackhawks playoff thread
jersey cubs fan replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
regular season, playoffs or offseason? -
No, it was terrible. It wasn't close and the Yankees announcers even knew it.
-
that is a terrible call
-
if Rizzo's face wasn't so tiny he may have noticed he was about to be hit
-
that works

EVERYBODY IS SAFE!!!!!!!!!

that should help improve Lake's batted ball distance at least.

Well, you could carry what I said to that extreme, or maybe that I'm a little disappointed that it might not be as organic a moment as I first thought. I actually was thinking as much of the weeping on the phone as the kiss. Because the first time you saw it you assumed it was hidden camera footage, or that there were no cameras at all? Naively maybe, but I just thought he was like any draft pick who had ESPN cameras in the room, not OWN reality show cameras and producers. And seriously, I didn't have any strong reaction to the kiss, but the weeping during the Rams call sort of struck me at the time. Now it seems a little staged, or at least a little overly dramatic. I would bet large money he was not the only draft pick to cry after getting the news. And I would bet he has also been through a bit more of an emotional process dealing with coming out privately and publicly in addition to going through the draft process, thus contributing to a greater likelihood of crying.

Wood and Zambrano knew they had to take matters into their own hands, Jeff, it's about time you learn.

Soriano would have caught that

there we go
