He will be hung from the left field foul pole if he actually did this. All part of the negotiation game.

I hope.

Oh I'm sure it is, last I heard the city gave it's approval to his renovation plans since it would not utilize taxpayer money. It's those folks that own the rooftop seats that are at odds with him now. They have hinted at a lawsuit if the new video board he has planned obstructs their viewpoint in any way. I've also heard that someone in Schaumburg has offered him free land if he does move the team out of Wrigley.
I took a class called "Baseball and American Culture" last year and Pete Ricketts was one of our guest speakers, he indicated that with all the improvements needed in the ballpark they couldn't afford any big name free agents just yet.

Good day today. Hawks win the cup last night and Marmol packs his bags. Finally.

Yep all is well in Chi-town

My Yankees take the first half of their rainout double-header against the Cubbies 3-0 this afternoon. As they were swept by The Bombers in the WS back in both '32 and '38, lost all three interleague games in 2005, and lost two exhibition ones there in 2009, they have yet to ever win a game in The Bronx. But they get another crack tonight, so there's always hope.

I wouldn't feel good if Obi Wan Kenobi was their only hope.
