    Don't worry, I can only think of two that would be a bit like that, off towards the north. What Derwood posted would be pretty close to wha you would see. Yea, alright, after seeing that, I could be game for it. Looking at a map of the area, I'm guessing you're thinking somewhere by Division? Oh and you need at least one moderately sized rooftop right across the street in case anyone wants to challenge Glen Allen Hill's imfamous hit.

    Just build it there with the bleachers up against the skyline. It would look amazing. Something about Wrigley bleachers and skyscrapers skyline doesn't seem to sit right with me. I'd have to see it to be sure though. If its apartments and condos, depending on the look of them (are they really tall, made of brick/stone or steel) I could totally go for it. If they built it on the Cabrini location with the bleachers backed up against the skyline, there wouldn't really be anything visible or in the way. Hmmm well I'm not that familiar with the area. I think I know what you mean though. I mean, obviously there will be skyscrapers right there in the distance and be visible, but in the close vicinity, the first couple blocks, you don't want Wrigley to be hidden inbetween high rises, you know what I mean?

    Not gonna lie, I didn't even realize Cabrini "wasn't ghetto" anymore. Thats all I associated it with. Thats good to hear. I'm not torn to Wrigleyville specifically, but I have to say that the view from the outfield is going to be important. I want homes or something, not empty lots or a humungous buildings. If they can accomplish that "neighborhood feel" somewhere else, I'm not tied to what is specifically Wrigleyville now.

    Dear Wrigley Gum, I will never buy any other company's gum in my life, if you step in, save the day and buy Wrigley Field's naming rights. You will have one loyal customer. Sincerly, Random Internet Cubs Fan

    I think its a beautiful design and creative as heck. As long as it actually works, it should be awesome. And I also like that they limited the number of seats. I'd rather have a small stadium tightly packed than a huge stadium that has fans scattered all around.

    15ppg and not much else. Plus Gordon isn't going to walk for nothing. I'd take my chances that we can get back something better than Smith in a Gordon sign and trade. You're romantisizing what Smith brings to the table. He'd be fine in a Jannero Pargo role. And hey if Gordon does walk and we want Smith we could probably offer a contract barely over the minimum and get him. Yay.

    Well if you really want to break it down it comes out to more like: JR Smith for Adrian Griffin (since we waived Eisley's non guaranteed deal, we signed Griffin), Aaron Gray, and JamesOn Curry Okay so Adrian Griffin isn't exciting. And JamesOn Curry may never amount to anything. But I'll take Gray over Smith. Supposedly the Nuggets have tried to move Smith and found no takers.

    Perhaps a baseball analogy would do well here: Wallace's situation on the Bulls was like Cliff Floyd taking away playing time from Murton. He had to be moved if for nothing else than to force the manager into playing the younger player. It didn't have anything to do with money. As long as Hughes does not come in and take time from Thabo, this was a very good move. And for the record, Hughes can steal Duhon's minutes for all I care.

    I don't mind the walking bear too much, but it'd be better as just an arm patch. The Cubs circle logo should be the main logo if they go to a blue. Also I like the Cuba script, and maybe with Castro stepping down.... haha jk

    Just for the record, I wasn't in favor or not in favor of any of those I posted, they were mostly just examples or a result of someone asking "I wonder what such and such would look like" My favorite out of those though is just the grays with some blue piping added.

    Here's some various mock jerseys I made a long time ago. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/snetsrak43/cubsprototype6.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/snetsrak43/cubsprototype5.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/snetsrak43/cubsprototype4.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/snetsrak43/cubsprototype3.png

    Yea, this is a nothing contract. Every team signs crappy players to minor league contracts. Really with Hendry's track record, we don't usually have to worry unless that player got a major league deal. I think we're safe.

    Ugh, I made it about half way through. I need to read this sober.
  15. WrigleyField 22
    its like beta like the letter in the Greek alphabet?
  16. WrigleyField 22
    Cubs W Mets W Marlins W Dodgers W White Sox (Comiskey) Blue Jays (Comiskey) Pirates (Spring Training) Plus some other teams I forget because it wasn't verse the cubs

    And out an extra $3.5M. I'd rather put that towards taking a risk a position we have real holes at.

    This sucks.

    Eh, if he was a viable option in CF and we could keep him instead of Fuld, opening up a roster spot for another hitter off the bench, its worth the expiriment. Right now, our bench, assuming 12 pitchers: Murton- LF Cedeno- SS Ward- 1B Fuld- CF Blanco- C Heck, even if we want to go get Roberts or a SS, we need to bump a player from the bench, since I doubt we carry 11 pitchers. If you dump Cedeno you have no backup SS. Dump Fuld and you don't have a backup CF (though technically Fukudome or Soriano could shift over there). But if Cedeno can play a passable CF, you are fine.
  21. WrigleyField 22
    I'd much rather get Peralta and upgrade SS than get Roberts and marginally upgrade 2B. Soriano-LF DeRosa- 2B Lee- 1B Ramirez-3B Fukudome-RF Peralta- SS Soto- C Pie- CF Now if I thought Roberts or DeRosa could be SS, I'd rather get Roberts. But getting Roberts so that DeRosa could sit on the bench while two lesser players start isn't that exciting.

    They should just cut to the chase and eliminate all the foul ground at Wrigley. It will be like Arena football.
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Don't worry guys, after winning a few Cy Youngs, we'll sign him in 2020 while he is on the downside of his career.
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Well depends on what you mean by need If you are content with a team that is good enough to win the central with a not great shot to win the pennant we could stay put. If you want a team that has a realistic shot at winning the pennant, absolutely yes. I think its obvious how everyone defines need so then it becomes a question of making it fit in the budget of 115M o whatever it is Hendry can spend.
