    Re: I wondered why all Cubs fans had an irrational dislike for WSB

    FatPitcher, just wondering... do you take note of the Wishlist thread? Just wondering... because there are some very key things in there that could be useful this year or next year.

            FP,

            I noticed you said the stadiums were improved. Did you guys add the monster seats and other new additions to Fenway? How about the seats on the RF roof by the Jimmy Fund sign?

            The problem is the Sox announce this stuff so late and close to the season that developers can't squeeze it in. Last year the monster seats became a reality in Feb I believe.

            Thanks

                  Wow! That picture of Clemens is just awesome! Graphically, but not because he's wearing an Astros uniform. LOL. Good for Houston. Better them than St.Louis. How about a picture of Derek Lee in a Cub uniform?

                  I agree with both points on the I-Rod issue. He's not the best handler of pitchers, but a particular thorn in my side from the playoffs last year was watching him hit every different type of pitch thrown while our catching positon was an automatic out practically everytime up. More offense could never hurt this club. Will Alou play all year? Probably not. Will Sosa get a little more disciplined at the plate? Doubtful. Can Alex Gonzalez cut down on the number of strikeouts? Did Patterson learn anything by watching Lofton in the playoffs or is he gonna be swinging for the fences instead of trying to get on base. The only thing that bothers me about this team is the lack of a true lead-off hitter. It should be a great season.

                  Projected Lineup?

                  Patterson-CF
                  Grudzielanek/Walker-2B
                  Sosa-RF
                  Lee-1B----This is very cool.
                  Alou-LF
                  Ramirez-3b
                  Gonzalez-SS
                  Barrett/Bako-C
                  Pitcher

                  Now if you put I-Rod in that third slot and move everyone down that would look really good.

                        Hey, by the way, you can see the centerfield hill at Minute Maid in the background. I can't remember, was it there last year?

                              Yup.

                              I'm just concerned for a couple things in that stadium... 1) If they have the homerun things right (last year or something they changed the yellow line on the wall in left-center. 2) If they will take advantage of retractible roofs during rainy days.
