I am pretty sure he was using TOR to stand for Top Of the Rotation.


Well I hope they add a bat in the offseason. They should have tons of payroll flexibility at this point. The prospects are arriving at this point, and so I am hopeful that we starting building at this point. What I want isn't going to change what they do, but I think the window needs to start opening at this point.

Lol. . Top of Rotation. Got it..

They prob will add some kind of bat in off season for OF but like I said it prob won't be a big impact bat for long term..
I do hope im wrong and they do start adding long term players this off season

I don't like Wrigley too much personally... Either scrap it or vast repairs are needed that I don't see why you would do. The place is so rich on history... But so was Busch, original Yankee stadium, etc. Etc. Teams can move on from a stadium but the Cubs unfortunately won't until there is either an accident or we win a World Series... I actually feel like that's the only aura that keeps the place up is that it never saw a winning team personally.

You do know Busch was built in 66 right?

Odd stadium to point to as being rich in history.

So WS champs makes a stadium "rich in history"?...

Then why is Wrigley "rich in history"?

You can't have it both ways.

Who said only one thing makes something rich in history? That's pretty limiting

You asked the question using WS champs as the example - not me.

The Cardinals themselves as an organization are rich with history. The old Busch Stadium was not and was a cookie cutter, astro-turf POS that had little to no ventilation.

Oddly enough, the Cardinals built a newer stadium with an "older flare" to it with natural grass.

A lot of stadiums want to mimic the older parks such as Fenway and Wrigley except with modern facilities and a family atmosphere outside the park for entertainment purposes.

Wrigley Field will always be rich in history and that's why you renovate and don't move away from there. The best thing they can do is try to have the Cubs organization rich with a history of winning versus a history of losing. That in itself will take many, many years, but it has to start with one thing.........and that's a World Series. :yep:

I really don't understand how people say Wrigley is rich in history. The majority of that supposed rich history has been housing a loser.

OK I agree with that...but it's more than just winning. The Ivy, the Bleachers, the Called Shot, Banks, Jenkins, Williams, Dawson, Sandberg, Wilson, etc...

...it's just more than winning for me on WF

i didn't say wrigley was rich in history. it's a dump and should be razed. if the yankees can build new yankee stadium then anyone can build a new park.

Who said you did?

I quoted Vick - who said "Wrigley is so rich in history".

Unless you and vick are the same dude?

I don't people remember past 5 minutes anymore. Wrigley is more than just the Cubs losing. It's a draw for a reason and not just for beer like fucktards say
