  1. Soriano's numbers do not inherently drop just by not leading off. Don't even bother. He's 100% convinced that it's fact.
  2. 73. Dan Uggla 74. Gary Sheffield 75. Jonathan Paplebon 76. Daisuke Matsuzaka 77. Hunter Pence 78. Tim Lincecum 79. Rich Hill 80. Nick Markakis 81. Rickie Weeks
  3. With the exception of the concerts at Wrigley (if they were his brainchild). Torn up fields suck.
  4. Count me as one who has no problem with the UA signage in the outfield and one who thinks John McDonough was great for this organization.
  5. Not well. In fact, so not well that I think I remember Lou getting pissed at how bad he was after one inning and pulling him and putting DeRosa there.
  6. Did Soto hit anything to CF or LF? Or were all the balls he hit (including the fouls) pulled? JW, I know he pulled the ball a lot last year, and I know they were trying to get him to be less pull happy this year.
  7. Roberts is 1 for 1 with 2 SBs, 1 R and 1 RBI today In case anyone was wondering.
  8. I got tickets, but I'm 50/50 on whether I'm using them or selling them.
  9. Laura posted this in the Roberts thread (figured I'd pass it on since everyone's in here)... LOL, nice, Jim...
  10. LOL Imagine if Dempster had had a Lowry like inning. People would be going off.
  11. Lieber doesn't instill much more confidence in me (if any) than Dempster.
  12. 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.
  13. I'm still thinking Cedeno will likely be starting for Baltimore this year.
  14. This broadcast sounds really weird with absolutely zero crowd noise.
  15. are you using GameDay Audio? Why are you faster than me? Nah, listening on the radio.
  16. I'll save you the wait. Sean Marshall will look high. Will Ohman will look insane (oh, wait)....
  17. I was being sarcastic (if you're replying to me).
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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)
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
