i'm not a sox fan, i just enjoy needling the cubs fans. already starting to see cubs outfits in public. don't they know what is ahead of them? nothing but heart ache and pain

in all honesty, i will miss listening to Ronny in the office during the season.

I want to give Moorleand a chance, but know that I probably won't give him a fair one. I loved Ronnie on the broadcasts. Did he give great insight? No, not even close, that's what Pat was for, but the spontinaity and pure love for the team that Ronnie brought made the broadcasts great. He is gonna be missed. It's never gonna be the same listening to games.

Oh no. We agree on something. Come on. Jeez. Damn it

Looking at the projected lineup... Castro, Colvin, Byrd, Ramirez, Pena, Soriano, Soto, Dewitt

... that is a lineup that might bat < .250 but hit the most homeruns in the NL, which is a recipe for a lot of 1-run losses. Six of those guys should hit at least 20 homeruns, and Ramirez and Pena should hit at least 30.

Dempster/Zambrano/Garza is supposedly a formidable 1,2,3

how many errors will the left side of the defense have (castro, ramirez & Soriano). 60-70 combined?

will ramirez ever get in front of a ball again or will he continue to wave his glove at them?

that defense is scary... probably the worst in the NL. And they'll probably have the worst OBP in the NL.

But I still have hope because I'm a silly Cubs fan. Castro could hit .330 or so, Ramirez could revert to his old self, Pena could hit 40 hr and stay above .250, Colvin could have a breakout year, and the starting pitching could be really good.

Most likely, only 1 or none of those will happen.

that's a whole lot of could

Rumor has it, Bartman could sing take me out to the ball game on opening day.

yeah that's why I said that none or one will happen

And we need all of those to happen to be NL contenders. The Phillies are just so much freakin' better than any other team. They have FOUR pitchers better than our Ace and I think 6/8 position players are better than ours. It's ridiculous.

What a complete embarassment this organization is. This doesn't seem to happen with other teams this much. 14 errors in 4 games, and you guys call yourself professionals? I hope and think Ricketts the crook is in for a real wake up. Fans aren't gonna pay your horse shit ticket prices for crap like this! The "Wrigley Experience" is only a novelty for so long.

not quite a complete embarassment. they have tried to win over the last decade, unlike a team that plays in pittsburgh.

silva just needs to get used to seeing balls booted by the left side of the infield.

The Wrigley Experience isn't going away anytime soon.

Another shitty outing by fat lazy ass Silva. The smart thing to do would be to cut this lazy fat piece of shit loose, but we are paying him too much money. The second smartest thing to do would be to not have him be in the starting rotation, but again we are probably paying him too much money not to be a starter. What a joke.

I am going to be heading out for the Yankees series the weekend of June 17th. Going to be hitting the Friday and Sunday games, Friday in the stadium, Sunday on a rooftop. Anyone here been to any of the rooftops? Any suggestions? I have looked into a few but am curious which have the best beer, crowd, view, etc.

81

some will argue, the rooftops are the place to be, i say they all suck. for what it costs, you can a ticket inside the stadium, and since you can bring in your own snacks, you can easily bring a few brews with you

i will say, the ones behind right field typically are the most crowded. stay away from the ones on the ends, as they have lousey sight lines.

Yeah, not sure what to expect, I assumed some people wouldnt be fans but seems like an experience. it is expensive but I am going to do a game in the stadium and the rooftop. I was thinking the Ivy League Club, seems like a nice one with a decent view (behind right field). Was thinking about one down the line but the view seems strange.

I've heard the rooftops SUCK as far as watching the game goes. You're just too damn far away from the action.
