Cleveland has 2 on, 1 out, bottom of the 11th. Belliard up

He didn't Walker puts them ahead!

Phillies win 4-3

Wow, i'm a stinkin' prophet :P

Here comes the Cubs clutch comeback win a game that matters to no one but the Phillies :roll:

Red Sox Win!

Nights like these make MLB EI pay for itself

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere, but the White Sox lineup is so funny: 1. Podsednik LF 2. Anderson CF 3. Gload 1B 4. Borchard DH 5. Crede 3B 6. Perez RF 7. Widger C 8. Blum SS 9. Harris 2B That's a lineup that only Dusty could put together (but he wouldn't be resting the starters, he'd be giving starts to Widger adn Blum cuz they saved the team)

And they go to the bottom of the 10th at 1-1

make up call? BTW, CLE tied it 1-1 in the bottom of the 9th

Any chance of landing A-Rod and his .420 OBP? :lol:

Man, does anyone have a RISP average worth showing? So depressing.

Because obviously adding more seats means they're going to the world series. Don't be an ass. Obviously we all want the Cubs to make the world series, but some of us actually care about how Wrigley Field looks too. There is more, atleast to me, than going to a baseball game than just seeing a team win or lose. It's an experience that we have in chicago that no other city has (i've been to fenway, I've been to yankee). Wrigley Field is the most unique sports facility in the united states. If they're going to screw with Wrigley, I'm going to be disgusted. Because they sure as hell aren't going to win a world series with jose macias and neifi perez starting everyday First of all, despite my sarcasm in my post, I don't deserve to be called names. Secondly, you missed my point. Of course Wrigley is an experience in and of itself. I've been to countless games there and am enver disappointed with the atmosphere. But your lamentation over some extra seats makes it sound like they are painting the seats pink. Change is inevitable in today's game, and with the potential revenue of extra seats and advertising, it's tough for the club to financially turn the cold shoulder to these changes. The Cubs organization went a very long time without in stadium advertising, and there was an uproar over the backstop ad board when that was installed, but I think we're all over it. I agree with a previous poster about the buildings across the street. When I first attended Cubs games (1992), those building were quaint, with a couple of guys sitting on the roof with some Nat Lite and a hibachi grill. Now they've become the ugliest form of crass commercialization, and I have no interest in putting them on display. Besides, how many people's view will really be hindered here? It's not like they are adding 20 rows of seats. If the view is an important part of your experience, cool, take a walk around the park before hand, take it all in, snap some photos, but when the first pitch is thrown, play ball. Clearly payroll doesn't equal wins/championships. That's a subject that we've been over ad naseum in several threads. But denying the club new revenue streams because there are some incremental changes to the look of the stadium just isn't fair.

I agree. But only Otis can do that. I don't know why I started posting the updated schedule as a response. I guess it was because you made a response with the updated schedule. I'll start editing the original post with the updated schedule. And I'll just post with series dates

I agree. But only Otis can do that.

I'm not defending the people on the rooftops, it's the principle that the ballpark has a neighborhood feel. What other park do you see Trees/Houses out just behind the outfield wall. What other park, can you grab a chair and sit out behind the leftfield wall and wait for homerun balls (you need a boat to do it in SF). I hate the greedy rooftop owners as much as anyone else, but consider this. You're sitting down behind homeplate, and you look out at center field. You see fans, then the sky. All around you, you see the park/fans/seats/and the sky. Sounds a hell of a lot like the cookie-cutter parks from the 1960's..... Wrigley Field is so special because of the ivy/bricks/history/neighborhood feel. We all know that. When you block out the neighborhood, you take out a big piece of wrigley field. Funny, I go to Wrigley to watch baseball games, not look at buildings and trees. They could paint the stadium hot pink and put a dome on it if it meant seeing a World Series played there. This same "controversy" happened here in State College a few years back. Penn State wanted to build an Upper Deck on the north endzone side of the field, but people were writing the papers complaining that it would block the view of Mt. Nittany. So, you're spending $50 a ticket to sit in a stadium and look at a mountain that you can otherwise see for free anywhere else? Needless to say, the deck went in and no one cares about the view.

He could've said "the budget should be more than sufficient to give Perez, Burnitz and Macias healthy raises while squandering the rest on veteran bench players who will likely amass 400+ plate appearances at the expense of younger, cheaper, and more talented ball players"

White Dusty is free! Say Hallelujah!

Maybe if the celebration had been on a 1/2 price Tuesday...

Exactly right. The best prosepcts play at AA, whereas the AAA roster is usually tired vets, lifetime minor leaguers, or players who have been called up and didnt' do well.

Nothing new today yet. Still missing: STL PIT NYM WSH COL (home series) ATL

I second this idea. i would rather see cedeno play with his broken hand than macias
