"It wears pitchers down. The winds are unbelievable. Willie Kirkland once hit a home run off me that Ernie Banks called for at shortstop." - on pitching at Wrigley Field

This could be great!

I mean the walls at Wrigley are made of brick!

The Cubs unveil a "conceptual illustration' of the proposed new Wrigley Field

"Conceptual illustration" as in "not real".

Because it says "Cubs Win!" on the marquee.

RIP

I think they call this....

...."a Slice of Americana"!

The American flag adds just the right touch if you ask me!

They're attracted by the smell of spilled beer, you know

Punched in the face at Wrigley!

And nobody seems to care!

What's the threshold for caring there?

A stabbing?

The Cubs don't even keep their contractors "in-house"?

                                                                                
Where's Theo on this?!

Did you hear they had a small fire at Wrigley Field?

No World Series trophies damaged!

The Cubs suspiciously did say they thought the Zambrano and Soriano contracts were torched beyond recognition though.

Derek Holland has a dog named "Wrigley"!

It wouldn't answer to "Rangers Ballpark in Arlington" so....

There's a way to do it....

....and...........well then another way.

Hope he survived the game!

Don't know what to say so I guess I will just go with "Good luck, guy!"

Sorry, all.

(I don't know how that lady can eat)

Never been

And that's cool.

Would you accept this salt distribution on a stadium pretzel?

Of course not!

And they wonder why attendance is down this year.

It's not just the rain, you know!

Now that the Cubs don't sell out games all the time....

....people can see what those bleachers are really like.

Can you say "What was all the fuss about?"

Deathstorm DID NOT damage the Wrigley Field roof!

Ever heard the words "Carlos Zambrano"?

Stop being so naive!

They just say that for insurance purposes, you know.
