    Considering he missed pretty much all of ST, I would they would give him as many at bats as possible to make sure he is both ready and healthy.

    What a bunch of crap, everyone should know the rooftop owners only care about themselves. I hope it pours all night and postpones tonight's game: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/04/10/rooftop-owners-to-host-wrigleyville-neighbors-appreciation-night/ If any NSBB member lives in the Wrigleyville area, here's your chance to tell the rooftop owners what you think of them.

    Who was the one year wonder about 10 years ago and went to the Braves and sucked?

    He's bad, but he's not even close to Hawk bad There's nothing better than listening to Hawk when bad things happen to the Sox...when crickets aren't chirping

    Lets not be greedy here

    That is one straight billed hat

    Let's see how the Cubs screw this up...

    Is Peralta any good? I thought he was rated top 100 prospects at one point.

    Playing baseball is hard

    I think it's about time for Ricketts to hire some mafia types to help the rooftop owners "come to their senses".

    I [expletive] hate those rooftop leaches
  18. dfnowak
    I didn't realize Estrada was that good
  19. dfnowak
    We suck

    I'm guessing they don't need to. IIRC, the wording was such that after a certain number of years (which has passed) the contract didn't offer much protection of the rooftop views. I thought the contract was more about what the rooftop owners would pay the Cubs for stealing their product and less about what the Cubs can and cannot do regarding blocking the rooftop views. So, maybe Ricketts has just been gentlemanly and neighborly with the rooftop owners this whole time including this deal where the views would only be "minimally blocked" by the new signage?

    I'm going to venture out to say that this bad outing wasn't enough for Marmol to lose the closer's role. They should give him a chance to keep his job, if only in hopes he can pitch like the 2nd half of last year and be able to get something of value for him on the trade market in what will likely be another losing season.

    I'd have Fujikawa warmed up just in case.
  23. dfnowak
    Do we know who's pitching today? Who was the lefty in both Jackson vids?
  24. dfnowak
    I thought I heard somewhere that the Cubs didn't like Brenly's criticism of the players?

    As for additional night games, I think they only really need to add Friday night games to be similar to the rest of the league. The first two games of a three game series are usually night games anyways. And, like most teams, getaway days, Saturdays (due to FOX) and Sundays are day games. And I agree with the general sentiment in this thread regarding the selfishness of Wrigleyville residents. If it weren't for the Cubs, their inflated property values wouldn't be so high. You really think the actual residents or "Wrigleyville" or Lakeview have any say about this? Get a [expletive] clue. The residents are the reason night games are limited and I'm sure the ones with money will have some say in this (through Tunney). And I used to live in the neighborhood, so yes, I do have a [expletive] clue, [expletive]. I used to live in the neighborhood as well. The residents do have Tunney's ear but the businesses and rooftop owners have his pocketbook. If given the choice Tunney will side with the rooftop owners every time. Rooftop owners are not residents. Most are owned by out of town corporations and LLC's that were started when the night games were first introduced in 1988. But the night game limitations are due to the residents, not the rooftop owners. I would think the rooftop owners would want more night games as it provides access to more customers and more money in their pockets.
