    It'll be a raucous 20,000 out there every night.

    I can't believe I missed this. What the hell?? What positives?

    Just admit you found out from a celebrity. You know many famous people after all.

    My speculation is that I think Melvin went to him at the order of Attanasio after Melvin fought to not fire Yost. Attanasio asked for an answer as to why things were failing again, and if Yost could give him an adequate answer he'd stay on. In standard Yost fashion he stood there with his dopey grin on his face and got fired when Attanasio wasn't happy with the response "I don't know."

    Mets fans are compltely irrational when it comes to Oliver Perez.

    But you clearly do care about the area around the park. You want a parking lot instead of a neighborhood.

    Eric Karros? pretty sure there was a regular dude who did a documentary following the team that entire year. white kid, black hair. can't remember much else. Wasn't he the guy who ran onto the field a while back to attack a player? Ah, here we go: Chasing October. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0997045/ I thought the guy who ran on the field was the "Its goona Happen" sign creator? Is he the same person as the documentary guy? Different. That guy is John Murray, and he's a huge douchebag.

    Scrubs sucks, Z doesn't. Discussion over. Too far.

    I'd be all for anything that meant the Cubs wouldn't be beholden to crappy local politics. In short, I'm all for something that'll never happen. And no, I wouldn't miss the awful bars and shops at all. I'm not exactly a Wrigley bar person, I'll go have a drink or 2 before a game if I have time, and then move somewhere less crowded afterwards, but you can't deny that the surrounding area is part of the appeal of Wrigley Field to people. Wrigley is unique because of its location and surrounding area. You want it to be a cookie cutter Miller Park clone.

    You don't think they actually do have a very good core of young players that could make a really good team if the GM fills in the gaps right? Remember, Jocketty is their GM now, he's proven he can do that. I do not. This season for Cinci is seriously a carbon copy of the past 5 seasons for them. They're a bad baseball team.

    I'm feeling the same way for lambasting the Panthers for taking Stewart over Mendenhall at the moment. This is a hell of an entertaining game. Isn't 2 games a little early to decide who was the right pick of those 3?

    That's pretty amazing Mojo.

    So you'd be all for it if it meant making the area completely sterile and free of anything not related to the Cubs game going on that day.

    Train FTW! Plus, no need for a DD. Yep driving to Wrigley is idiotic. And Wrigley - 24 Nobody's talking about driving to Wrigley as it is. No, people are talking about constructing parking garages so that they can drive for no apparent reason.

    Stone seemed like an old buddy of Harrelson's when he did TV work last year. He'll give in to the old coot and be his lapdog.

    Not really. How many times to you hear about a manger being fired, and then the team goes on a nice little hot streak for the new manager? Thats exactly what the Brewers need right now. Willie Randolph anybody? What if 2 teams in the NL playoffs have different managers than they started with? Willie Randolph didn't get fired with 12 games left in the season. Does anybody know what the latest in the season a manager has been fired is? Joe McCarthy got fired by the 1930 Cubs with 4 games left in the season and the team 2.5 games out of first. Cubs won their last 4 games under Rogers Hornsby but wound up 2 games out.

    As an unbiased observer, I'm not really happy with how that call is made after the replay. It doesn't seem like Philly should get to keep the ball. And man if I was facing Westbrook this week, I'd be livid.

    That's about the only thing I'd change to truly make it a dream scenario. :D Actually, I'd like to see Yost go to Cincy to replace Dusty. Cincy's talent worries me more in the coming years than the Cardinals, so let's keep a bad manager there to ruin it. This is an excellent suggestion. I hate the Cardinals more, but the Reds do have more young talent for Yost to corrupt. Cincy's had a lot of "young talent" for the past 52 years and we're all supposed to be worried when they finally get it together. Every year. Since 1841.

    You know he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about when he says Harden or Marquis.

    I'm definitely against using starters on short rest. Lilly is better than any of our top 3 on short rest. He's better than pretty much any starter on short rest, and without looking into it, I'd probably take him against any other 4 we'd go up against.
