    Except you make far more money in the long run if you own the building. Fixing the thing isn't just flushing money down the toilet, it's an investment. The state owning Wrigley would reduce the profitability. It's a dumb idea. You may be right, but won't the terms of the lease have a lot to do with the profitability of the deal? What if the state paid for the rehab and the upkeep, but the Cubs got to keep all of the advertising and concession revenues? Wouldn't that be a good deal for the new owner? the real money would be from leasing the luxury suites. there is nothing to gain for a new owner in a rehabbed ballpark that they don't own.

    i don't think attendance would drop much at all. there are plenty of real cubs fans who would gladly fill the seats left open by the lincoln park hipsters who are only there to get laid

    my guess is they'll do something very similar to Soldier Field, wherein they retain the facade of the park and gut all the stands /clubhouses and start over

    there is a 0% chance Reinsdorf allows this to happen for less than 11 Jabillion dollars. and we know what side Mayor daley would be on that feud

    i will simply say that i think you're overvaluing steals. Roberts getting a walk plus a steal = Soriano getting a double, only there is more risk in stealing the base. you also can't look at steals completely objectively between the two because it's possible that the O's manager called for them more than Lou. perhaps if Soriano was leading off for the O's he'd have 50 steals last year. you just can't make that comparison

    I think opposing teams do more research than that when evaluating players. I don't think their opinion of Matt Murton is going to drastically change because Lou said some nice things about him. Do you really think Angelos would come running into MacPhail's office and say, "Andy! I read in the Tribune that Lou said Murton is a great option to sub and has some pop off the bench! Let's pull the trigger on the Roberts trade!" not to mention that MacPhail is already extremely familiar with these players

    i'm racking my brain to come up with his "seven" veteran starters. Zambrano Lilly Hill Marquis Lieber Dempster Wood? Marshall?

    this is the slowest draft in the history of slow drafts. we keep getting slowed down by the cardinal fan

    douchebaggery at its finest. the author of nsbblol is the lowest kind of internet coward someone is just begging for a piece to be written about him, it's almost as if they feel left out. i can't wait for them too.

    seems like there should be a better choice, doesn't there?

    Bruce, don't follow that link. it's just a 12 year old level of potty mouth blog.

    Seriously, why do you keep saying Soriano's health is in question? Where do you find these things? I thought I read Lou commenting on Soriano not quite being over his leg injury. this is true. wrigley23 constantly makes it out to be something that will keep soriano from anything but a slow stroll around the basepaths
