hoh, I live mere blocks from said ballpark. It is a thing of beauty, but I worry that it won’t last. I fear that it’ll be the players who ultimately push for a new ballpark. They go to places like Milwaukee and New York and see the posh accomodations, and Wrigley is so old-school and small by comparison. Carlos Zambrano has already said several times that he wishes for a new field.

Anyway, I’m still quite pissed at them for their craptacular play during the playoffs last year. Bums. But…I just can’t quit them. And I adore the sport of baseball.

@hoh: I LOVE GEORGE BRETT!! He was my hero growing up. I started off playing baseball (and was switched to softball later). My first few years I played 3rd base and wore #5. I was the only one on the team back then that could make the throw. I’m pretty sure that my trans side comes from the fact that I was just positive I would grow up to be George Brett’s replacement.

@Ginjoint: My grandparents are huge Cubs fans (they live in Urbandale, IA and watch the AAA team) and then turn around and watch them again in the pros. Fun stuff being a Cubs fan…for that, you have to be tough!!

Oh, I am so sorry. Thrice-cursed team… the black cat, the goat, and Steve Bartman.

But at least you have a great ballpark in which to watch them.

I am a third-generation Chicago Cubs fan.

So, pardon me whilst I go ram a stake through my forehead. It’s the only thing left to do.

Yeah,I was the Anon above. My handle used to appear automatically,but now for some reason it doesn’t,but I haven’t adjusted yet.

Re: chalk vs. markers. I’ve used both,and I prefer the markers; they do require lotsa hand washing. Overheads always gave me a headache,but the fancy new stuff takes some getting used to.

Re: paper lists vs. electronica. Paper,recycled of course. Love checking items off as they’re completed.

Major League Baseball lost me in 2002, when the All-Star game was called off at a tie in 11 innings. At the time I suggested a headline to a sportswriter friend of mine, “MLB continues ‘Hate America’ campaign.” The Palestinian kids who danced in the streets when they heard about 9/11, them I can understand. I know what their grievances are. But what have we as a people ever done to Major League Baseball that they hate us so much? Anyway, my friend replied that he doesn’t write the headlines.

@ksbel6

Two words that will surely rile up a longtime KC Royals fan…

Pine tar.

I wonder if that bat is in Cooperstown?
