I knew what that post was about before I clicked the link.

Bradley and Griffey. Enjoy that one, Seattle.

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.

Long overdue, and well deserved.

This won't end well.

I know the park is a dump. But it feels like a ballpark. This looks like a corporate office.

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.

02-06-2010, 05:24 PM

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.

Think it will break the curse?

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..
