do you think that there is much of a chance that lieber isn't in the rotation at all at this point?

lou seems so set on dempster that it might even take more than 2 bad outings to sour him.

this was bound to happen. dempster had been pitching too good for it to be true.

comcast has hoops on today

i have looked on the directv guide and also went on the csn and cubs websites and see nothing of it saying that the game is televised.

Apparently "Johnnie Woo Woo" isn't there

I have never really associated Wrigley Field with the gum even though I know the obvious connection is there, but it really is no different than Turner Field and TBS. Sure, the connection is there, but I don't think of it as a TV station stadium. I certainly recognize that the man that it is named after a media mogul, but the advertising connection is almost nil to me. Maybe I am different than the average person, but that is how I feel. I also can look at the Winston Cup. I never really thought of the Winston Cup as advertising (again, probably just me) until they made a big deal about the name change and now it is obvious as they rename the series more often than Pac Bell Park. I also question how often people will think of the new name, but having it there does hold value to me and many others, I'm sure. Think about Sox Park, The Coliseum in Oakland, The Ballpark in Arlington, The Skydome, Dolphin Stadium over the years changing it's name, Candlestick Park, among others who's names have changed over the years, but yet many people cannot tell you what these places are named today. I say this because I am not sure of what the value is in buying naming rights to a place like Wrigley Field. Aside from the opening montage of ESPN Sunday Night Baseball when they slap the name up on the screen, how often would the sponsor name be brought up? I think that the name Wrigley Field has limited connections to the chewing gum and that the value of the naming rights are limited for such a venue even though Wrigley Field is so famous.

Not that I think that it will happen anytime soon, nor am I sure whether or not that was a sarcastic comment, but at this point in spring training, I doubt that they'd wait to allow another sport to have their spotlight. Both teams would want to get the players involved in the trade into the swing of things with their new clubs sooner rather than later.

yeah, that was for 4th row behind 1st base and was around a 10 after 9 or so.

I got through once, but didn't want the $140 tickets. Trying again and i can't get to the payment part of it.

It is easy to get into the Brewers ticketing, but the problem with the high transaction thing is even worse than with the Cubs.
