I love the NL Central. (hey, btw, I’m @57hits who just followed you on twitter)

]]> Comment on Wrigley gets Soccer while Citi Field gets the 2013 All-Star Game. by John http://mlblogsonedayatwrigleyac000000.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/wrigley-gets-soccer-while-citi-field-gets-the-2013-all-star-game/#comment-1371 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 01:10:14 +0000 http://onedayatwrigleyac000000.mlblogs.com/?p=2187079#comment-1371 This is a really biased argument that you have decided to put forward and is really just you ranting on-and-on about things that actually have nothing to do with the selection of the venue for the MLB All-Star Game. First off the decision isn’t based on the owners of the club, it’s based on the host city and that every city has a chance to have the wonderful experience that is the MLB All-Star Game. Also, you act as if Wrigley Field has never had an All-star game, but Wrigley Field has in fact hosted not one but three All-Star Games. And lastly, there are about 7 different stadiums that haven’t hosted the event; and as we all know there are a lot of possible venues for the game to be held. So you should be proud and happy that your city has had its chance because now it’s Queen’s turn to host the event and be allowed to enjoy it.

Kerry Wood was an enormous talent and you always had to respect it. There were times he could just dominate and there was nothing you could do about it.

I’m glad that he showed so much loyalty to his first team, even when circumstances kept him from playing for them. For him to come back to end his career there was outstanding, but that final moment, getting a hug from his boy as he walks off the field for the final time, had to be one of the most special times he ever had.

Best to Kerry in retirement and I hope he stays around baseball!

This has cost the franchise to compete financially with other teams, especially with the Yankees and Phillies. Your organization sell Wrigley Field but can not put a winning product on the field. Oh its some goat’s fault. Get over it. The Mets have not seen an All Star Game since 1964. The Cubs hosted the game three times, most recently in 1990 as i’m sure you know. Oh and we had two soccer games last year. You come across with this second city insecurity.

]]> Comment on NL Central 2012 Season Preview Podcast by Karen http://mlblogsonedayatwrigleyac000000.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/nl-central-2012-season-preview-podcast/#comment-734 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 04:47:11 +0000 http://onedayatwrigleyac000000.mlblogs.com/?p=2187056#comment-734 No, look I know someone’s going to go there and start tsheoming. But Vasquez’s career numbers are 4.22 ERA, 1.249 WHIP; he tends to have decent strikeout rates and he’ll eat innings. What about that sounds better than average/mediocre? He’s basically Randy Wells with a slightly lower WHIP. And yes, I fully acknowledge that wins/losses for pitchers don’t always tell the full story. But that doesn’t render them useless. Vasquez is average, and his record is average, and it’s roughly the same every year; why is it that we immediately have to subscribe to the wins and losses don’t tell you anything camp? Just because they don’t tell you everything doesn’t mean they tell you nothing. Vasquez’s trend tell me a lot he’s an average pitcher, throws a lot of innings (which tends to make his record more meaningful). I think his next team can expect to be getting a guy who will eat innings, stay relatively healthy, and probably deserve a win just as often as he deserves a loss.

Either try for the weakened division, or rebuild. This middle ground they have taken the past few years has really been killing them.

And how much hope we had in Quade. Can’t wait for the 2012 season though!

Anyway, keep us updated on your announcement…

]]> Comment on Santo is in. Great decision, horrible timing. by Abracadabra http://mlblogsonedayatwrigleyac000000.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/santo-is-in-great-decision-horrible-timing/#comment-601 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 10:34:14 +0000 http://onedayatwrigleyac000000.mlblogs.com/?p=2187023#comment-601 What irony. Definitely I’m happy because all of us Cubs fans have waited for this day, but really? Did it really have to take this long to recognize Santo?
