They need to play two summers off site (a la the Bears when they renovated Soldier Field) to more or less gut Wrigley down to the foundation and rebuild it from the clubhouses up. Keep the scoreboard and the outer "shell" of the ballpark, but redo everything on the inside. You could make it look and feel almost exactly the same but with modern amenities. The problem is where do they play? Reinsdorf would probably either refuse to share Comiskey or charge them a ridiculous amount to play there, and there is no other ML sized facility anywhere close by (unless they could figure out how to configure Soldier Field to a usable ballpark).

I'm rooting for MSU on Monday a) because it's the Big Ten and b) to say that my team beat the National Champion on the road this year.

also known to Bulls fans as the "Nocioni Special"

On paper, the Cubs should score at least 100 more runs than the Braves this year, maybe more. -
I've grown to hate the WBC. What a terrible time to hold the thing.

Worse hair: Griffin or Harongody?

I'm a little worried that this team will be exhausted come playoff team if Vinny keeps playing only 8 guys per game -
thanks
-
I calculated mine at -3, not -5.

the contract is just the standard for picking up someone who was cut I think, right? Or does that not apply since he wasn't claimed off waivers?
-
this stadium is incredibly "meh".
-
oh crap, i didn't even figure out my pythag. I ought to look into that... EDIT: I was only 3 games under, which is within a reasonable margin
-
I think this game will be delayed. Looks like T-Storms all day and not clearing up until 8pm Eastern time
-
jesus, people are so stupid

He's trying to figure out how to disagree with everyone here.
-
for what purpose? I don't know the # just went from 36 to 52 buses. 16 on tuesday night, 36 on thursday night
-
I think it's at 5 pm today... but I'm doubting myself... might be 6. 5pm CDT news conference
-
which is why i'd be happy with a top 1/2 finish. also, who expected PSU to do as well as they did this year? no one. so with all due respect, your preseason predictions don't mean much of anything
-
I think most of us here considered UI and PSU to be similar teams heading into the season. I know a lot of casual Illinois fans were way down on the team this year. I think you're overestimating our expectations heading into the season. I predicted NIT berths for both. but for you, and NIT berth team is a disappointment for the program, expected or not. That's my point
-
but no one was embarrassed by PSU's performance this year. They were on the bubble and got caught in a numbers game. I'm more disappointed in them losing the finale @Iowa, which would have gotten them into the dance. Again, it's a difference in expectations. If you thought you were a tourney team (eg Kentucky) but had to "settle" for the NIT, then yeah, I totally agree with you. If no one thought you'd be better than 10th in the Big Ten but ended up with 27 wins, what's to be down about?

If Cutler can hit Hester in stride on a go route once a game, I'll be thrilled with the trade.
