    so? i bet you hate Len and Bob for being so biased for the Cubs too Len & Bob are paid to do Cubs games, Musburger not so much i don't find any of these national announcers nearly as biased as you guys do (with the obvious exception of Dicky V). frankly, musberger, joe buck, etc. don't bother me one bit

    if you like railings, you'll LOVE Shea.

    neat, two threads on this

    Just build it there with the bleachers up against the skyline. It would look amazing. Something about Wrigley bleachers and skyscrapers skyline doesn't seem to sit right with me. I'd have to see it to be sure though. If its apartments and condos, depending on the look of them (are they really tall, made of brick/stone or steel) I could totally go for it. quick and dirty (sorry for the black&white, but it's tough to find a skyline photo from the vantage point of that neighborhood) http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/derwood/wrigleycabrini.jpg

    Navigator from Michigan, Escalade from OSU, Segway and his own personal McDonalds from Penn State, Jobs for family in Oregon and condo plus guaranteed 38 minutes of PT per game basketball wise from Memphis. so whoever sweetens the deal with an iPhone and the new Dwyane Wade high-tops can seal the deal?

    news to me. are we any good?

    Tyrelle Pryor update?

    they've torn all the public housing down and have built stores and condos. You can now safely walk from Wrigley Field to downtown if you want (without having to stick to Lake Shore Drive).
  11. Derwood
    Yeah, it's all boho and crap now. build a Dominicks and the Infiniti's and Acura's will fill the streets
  12. Derwood
    no, but you can swear!

    Cabrini hasn't been a ghetto for at least 5 years now. it's pretty much Lincoln Park south now that it is yuppies in condos
  14. Derwood
    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. i'm torn, but a part of me would secretly enjoy seeing the property value of all those brownstones drop like a stone when Wrigley is gone

    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

    I love that people think that guys like Joe Buck, etc. are expressing personal bias all the time. You do realize that the producers of the television broadcast have production meetings and instruct the announcers as to what storylines/players/teams they should be highlighting, right?
  17. Derwood
    the only way Wrigley Gum would have had free advertising all these years is if there were huge Wrigley Gum advertisements all over the ballpark.

    I dunno, I would think it would be the opposite. There have been a gazillion games in Wrigley, and when it's all said and done, there's going to be a gazillion more. But if/when this transpires, it's going to be probably the only chance in you're lifetime you'll have to see Cubs home games not in Wrigley. That seems more rare and precious than just doing the stock 'trip to wrigley' that every cubs fan has done. PLUS, you get the satisfaction of completely emasculating dbag white sox (the ones that are dbags) fans. It's a win-win Cuse. Consider it. why would white sox fans be at the game that day? what? how else will you emasculate the white sox fans? you don't actually go out of your way to talk to them otherwise, do you:?

    i thought he said that he was going to be in town doing the DePaul game but he'd be at Opening Day. I could have misheard though DePaul game? On March 31st? Thats the weekend of the Sweet 16/Elite 8 IIRC. i guess i misheard then. when was the last time Musberger did baseball for ESPN? I know i'm in the minority, but i really like Musberger, especially for college football Didn't he do the Arizona playoff series (like 4 months ago) and was awful? that was Dick Stockton

    But Cuban wants to get rid of the 7th inning Take me out to the ballgame and have a Dancing with the Stars during the 7th instead. it would be an upgrade
  22. Derwood
    Are you telling me July 31 is still 9 or 10 months away??!?!?!? My birthday is July 22nd and I was hoping it would be much sooner than that. It's going to feel like 16 or 17 months since my last birthday by then. the new trade deadline is October 31

    This is one of those situations where you wish some ex-Cub player would pony up the dough to buy the naming rights. I think fans would be fine if it was renamed Ernie Banks Field or something. Sadly, with the price of naming rights these days, no ex-ballplayers have the cash to do that

    the cubs are the #3 draw on the road. the "most cubs fans go to wrigley to get drunk" statement is a myth. partially. i think a good number go to Wrigley to get drunk, but if you banned those people from going to games, the place would fill up with people who actually like baseball. in other words, there are a lot of good baseball fans who can't go to wrigley because of the drunk d-bags It certainly would be a long, tough year for all the bars and other businesses in Wrigleyville. but oh, how the smug neighborhood association would revel in their smuggy smugness
