Welcome to beautiful Crate & Barrel Park, home of the Cubs!


Sam Zell might be a brilliant real estate mogul, but he is no baseball guy. Thank god this soulless, spiritually bereft mother fucker is going to sell the team. Unfortunately, this cock sucker, "who only looks forward" ( you wonder if ever wipes his ass, since it is behind him) is going to sell the team and Wrigley Field separately. This robot of a man doesn't even understand that 'Wrigley Field' has more value when it is called Wrigley Field, than if it called (insert corporate name here) Park.

This of course would never happen in Boston, or in New York. Only in Chicago where that team on the southside replaced a decrepit, albeit beloved ballpark with a shopping mall. Where Da Bears put a fucking UFO inside a National Landmark and were so stupid that they didn't have the foresight to put in a dome. Finally, where the second oldest ballpark in all of America will be reduced to nothing more than another corporate sponsored advertising shell. And people wonder why they call this the second city. As far as our sports teams are concerned, they should call Chicago, Second Class city. Why can't they ever do anything first rate here, it really is depressing.

Don't forget the loss of the Stadium. It was lovely.

Ah yes. You are right! The Chicago Stadium!

Maybe Rezko can buy the park and sell it Messiah Obama at a cost he can afford. He could then, in true chicago tradition, name it after himself and we can all be in love.

No- i think it's that Rezko will also sell the side-walk next to Wrigley for the Messiah.
