LMAO, did he really say that?

Do they exist only to own the stadium or do they have other things to do? That "midnight" negotiation of the Gov. Thompson seems so long ago. IIRC the clock "broke" at a couple minutes to midnight and then a deal was struck. As much as I enjoy the f*** the Cubs stuff, I wonder just how little or much influence the Sox would have. It would really suck if it appeared the Cubs got the better schedule.

OMG, boxing judges will make a Florida recount appear almost fair

Who actually holds the deed to the Cell? I know the Sox do not own it, who actually "owns" the stadium?

Kerry has the reach and seems to be in better shape. If Kerry can avoid an up close, toe to toe match, I think he can win. In a slug fest, I think Bush has the edge. He's beefier and seems better at taking a punch.

Well hell if that is all it takes to make a grey state blue . . . check my avatar

Even at its worst, the US is the best place to make yourself a success. No amount of government help will make you a success.

I would think that MLB would put some pressure on the Sox to be flexible. Remember, it is MLB that puts together the schedules. I do not think we could have a situation that the Sox can tell MLB who and when to schedule. In the end, I'm thinking the Sox would not have a lot of say since they do not own their own stadium and they are a member of MLB.

Shouldn't that be in the Baltimore unidentfied animal thread

I find any three way trade amazing. I cannot get three friends to pick the same damn restaurant for lunch.

Where did ncorgbl go?

We've had a few Cub daytime, Sox night time games. Obviously if the Cubs played dates at the Cell, it would be a scheduling nightmare. The Cubs would probably have to open up at home, very cold, good for them. Beats the Hawks and Bulls getting bumped for the Circus and Disney on Ice. This could really help the Sox in their competition for fans in Chicago. Every business wants people to at least come through the door. Imagine millions of Cub fans paying to visit the Cell. If even a small percentage decide to attend some Sox games we win.

Not a sport

If you paid for Wrigley through your taxes would you be happy if the Cubs said no and acted like it was their stadium?

I still say f*** the Cubs also, but I have a harder time saying f*** the Cub fans who helped pay for the Cell. I could see the Sox negotiating with US Cellular for more money since their name and promotion will be greater.

then Let it Be . . .

We have slowly gotten to the point in time that a person's words are defined not by the person stating them, but by anyone else. In other words if one person, or one group of people are insulted by how something is phrased, it is defined as wrong. No matter how the speaker or writer meant them. Even if the speaker's intent is plain as day to everyone. I think we've become too uptight.
