Maybe the Cubs should bring Sammy Sosa out of retirement.

Sosa and McGwire were once credited for "saving" baseball after the strike year. Well, good for them - now, go away please.

Although the pitcher we got, with $25 Million left in contract, sounds like a bum.

But does Chicago have to pay the entire $25 mil or is Seattle obligated to pay a portion?

Looks like we get 9 million over two years to help off set the salary.

I think it is over 3 years, so we might have enough money left over to entice Chili Davis out of retirement. :)

I like the "classic" feel that Wrigley has. I don't think they need to change it. I like the Cell better, for obvious reasons, but it is nice to see a game at Wrigley.

Well i glad they will put some money in to the place. But this can really mess things up.
Isn't the reason you go to the park is to watch the game?

I'm glad that the renovations will "keep the field around for another 100 years" but it takes away from the uniqueness that is Wrigley.

Samardzija threw off the mound Monday at Fitch Park, well ahead of the first workout for pitchers and catchers, which is scheduled for Thursday. He's been in Arizona for a few weeks along with Carlos Zambrano, who also tuned up with an early-bird session Monday. Samardzija, Zambrano, Tom Gorzelanny, Sean Marshall and others all decided they'd had enough of the cold weather up north and it was time to get to work.


Anybody have any thoughts on Samardzija? I'm not so sure he will help the rotation, but at the looks of it right now, he is working his butt off to get the 5th spot..

He was inconsistent last year, but I think he'd make a solid #5 if he works his butt off this spring.

Early season schedule is very favorable. Only 6 out of the first 38 games are against teams with winning records.

You know it's going to be a bad year when we go up 3-0 in the first inning and lose 16-5.

I am surprised Pinella didn't go out there and kick his pitcher in the family jewels. He should have at least pulled him and brought in his guy that was warmed up in the bullpen.
