Media questioning the bad taste of letting Rick go.

Uses analytics heavily. Keeps notes in his pocket.

Joe will not be there four to five hours ahead of game time. Nothing to do.

Less hitting practice.

Guys that come early or leave late mean nothing to him.

Based on all the ignored messages I see, looks like someone is having some sort of breakdown.

I'm actually a little concerned for him... that's like 20+ posts he put up in the span of like 45 minutes... :wacko:

Became a Cubs fan because of WGN. Watched them ever since I can remember on WGN. It why I have been to Wrigley around 8 times or so. I went to one White Sox game and I hated it. The atmosphere sucked compared to Wrigley. This isnt a knock to the Sox. It was just my personal opinion and I was a huge Frank Thomas fan. In fact, my two favorite players growing up was Mark Grace and the Big Hurt. I used to bat like the Big Hurt and not wear batting gloves like Mark Grace. Ive seen the Saints win a superbowl. I believe I will see the Cubs win a championship and I believe it will be in the next 10 years. Why? Because Im a fucking Cubs fan!

Honestly agree. And I don't even hate the Sox. I cheered for them in 2005. I hate every team in the NL other than the Cubs though. I never cheer for the NL in the World Series. Even struggle to cheer for them in the ASG. They play the Sox at most 6 times a year, I don't see why I should care about the Sox more so than the Padres TBH.

Been to 9 stadiums, and the two worst that I have been are the Cell and Tropicana. Neither really generated any atmosphere. Haven't been to the Cell in awhile. Probably been a good 7 years so they were still relevant when I felt that way. Nothing about it stands out, fans included.

As far as the best overall feel it's Wrigley or Fenway, with Target Field at that level as well, just not enough history for me yet to say it's #1

Just a thought... Giardi turning the cubs down seems to have been a blessing in disguise. People can disagree but personally I'd rather have Maddon.

Maybe they would have canned Girardi too
