    LOL @ Hooterville

    I got tickets, but I'm 50/50 on whether I'm using them or selling them.

    Laura posted this in the Roberts thread (figured I'd pass it on since everyone's in here)... LOL, nice, Jim...

    LOL Imagine if Dempster had had a Lowry like inning. People would be going off.
  5. David
    Lieber doesn't instill much more confidence in me (if any) than Dempster.

    Does anyone actually think it's about ads being all over the ballpark? The naming rights deal gets the name out there into the consciousness of the people. Wrigley's name gets out there and gets said and gets on people's minds because the park is named Wrigley Field. Naming rights aren't really about having the company's ads plastered all over the park. What difference does it make if there's no Wrigley ads on the inside of the park? It's not like the park is pristine and devoid of other ads. Van Kampen, Smithe Furniture, Under Armour, etc. are all over the place.

    I'm still thinking Cedeno will likely be starting for Baltimore this year.

    This broadcast sounds really weird with absolutely zero crowd noise.

    are you using GameDay Audio? Why are you faster than me? Nah, listening on the radio.

    I'll save you the wait. Sean Marshall will look high. Will Ohman will look insane (oh, wait)....

    I was being sarcastic (if you're replying to me).

    LOL YEA!!! It's not like the Cubs have increased payroll the last few years or anything ZOMG evil Tribune lining their pockets! Come on, seriously.

    why not? PK was a nut, but WW Jr won plenty of pennants, was the first to recognize the genius of Veeck and was responsible for turning a dinky Federal League park into one of the most enduring symbols of sport oh never mind, I forgot that you hate the ballpark. we'd be better off if the Cubs and Bears had moved into a dome together back in '72 I do? I may despise trips to the bathroom there, and recognize that at some point it is going to have to come down (or at least be rebuilt) in the name of safety and progress. But I hardly hate Wrigley Field.

    Hey, if you ask me, Wrigley is a terrible name. It may have originally been a tribute to the "colorful" William Wrigley Jr., but PK Wrigley was in charge far longer and is tied to the Cubs far more than William, anyway. Why do we want to pay tribute to that racist old coot who did nothing but hold back the Cubs and baseball? (tongue planted firmly in cheek)

    If Trump owned THE CUBS, you'd be OK with him changing it to Trump Field? Because, if that's the case, then I understand this crazy (non-)issue even less. No. It has already been named Wrigley Field and has been that way for damn near a century. It should always remain Wrigley Field. Nah, they should have never changed it from Weegham Park.

    EDIT - Double Post

    OK, so Tribune Field would be (or would have been, however you want to look at it) OK with you?
  21. David
    The Wrigleys are hardly a family baseball should pay tribute to.
  22. David
    you missed the point the examples you cite are instances of companies putting their most recognizable names on the parks, of all the entities within Turner Broadcasting the actual "Turner" part (a signboard company) is the least recognizable had Turner put up money for the name it would be dubbed "TNT/CNN/TBS Park" or somesuch You said, "Turner Broadcasting," not all that other crap. And since when is Turner not a recognizable name?
  23. David
    So, let me get this straight. If the Tribune had changed the name to Tribune Field, would that be OK? Or would it not be, because the name of that company isn't the name of said company's owner? Or is it because it wouldn't be the stadium's original name? Is that what makes it not ok? Because Wrigley isn't the original name of Wrigley Field, either.
  24. David
    What a ridiculous argument. So when the stadium is named the same as a company owned by the team's owner, it's OK, but when it isn't, it's not?
  25. David
    it isn't, they call it The Ted, not "Turner Broadcasting" park Not really sure how that changes anything. US Cellular Field is called "The Cell" by fans. What the fans call it doesn't mean anything. As for the "not Turner Broadcasting Park" part, Chase Field isn't called "JP Morgan and Chase Co. Field." Tropicana Field isn't called "Tropicana Products Field." What on Earth difference does it make if the company's full & proper name isn't on the stadium?
