The 2010 Cubs Free Agent and Roster Moves Thread: SAVEENG OUR KUBBEEZ!!11

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

It'll be great. A fun, antiseptic day at Wrigley Field. You'll want to take the wife and kids to do all these things except that it's too freaking expensive to do so, fun will be outlawed, getting there's a pain in the ass, and in the final analysis the kids for which the experience is about to get "friendlier" (those under the age of 8) would just as soon go see the Schaumburg Flyers and might actually believe you when you tell him the blond-haired third baseman for Schaumburg is Aramis Ramirez and the 19-year-old first baseman for Duluth is Albert Pujols.

Which of these changes are going to make the place any less fun or more antiseptic or more expensive than it already is?

They're cleaning up the shitters, putting in more TVs, adding some natural light to the place, maybe offering some better food, and allowing kids to get autographs and run bases. The rest of it is either window dressing or PR bullshit or improvements to luxury stuff that only morph can afford anyway. Tickets have been expensive for awhile now, and they'd be dumb not to keep raising the prices as long as they're selling out.

Maybe I'm being too sincere here, but I don't think anything the Ricketts are doing is making a Schaumburg game any more attractive than it was 3 years ago.

TJ is just preparing for a frugal fatherhood.

I think people from the suburbs should stay in the suburbs so all these moves are ok with me.

Nah, even the kids know Albert Pujols is 40.

Oh look, the hayseed from Indiana's lived in Chicago for 3 years now and thinks he can tell people to GO BACK TO THE SUBURBS [/Huey]

CT WILL GO BACK TO THE SUBURBS WHEN HE DECIDES HE'S DAMN WELL READY TO GO BACK TO THE SUBURBS.

I'm guessing 7:45 at the very latest.

Damn right.  Basking in all that culture and sophistication at Kitty O'Shea's can be a little much for a wide-eyed suburbanite like myself.

Next year we'll meet at Chili's.

Can we make it Applebees?  I have coupons.

[morpheus]

Why not make it the Cheesecake Factory?

[Jon]

Why not TJ Slaky?.

Why not TJ Slaky?.

Ever seen the kitchen? Fuckers don't even use hairnets.

Or we could meet in Racine, so that Tank is a bit closer to home.
