The Bertucci boys were heavier than Pudi Senese.

One of the biggest failings of the city is that they have not leveraged US Cellular Field to have an "entertainment center" similar to the area in Wrigleyville. I can promise you that if you did that the economic impact would be much greater. I'd love to live within walking distance of a professional stadium.

bigfan loves to harp on Jerry but is leaving out a huge key point in this whole deal.

Jerry doesn't own the Cell-- the State does. Rickets wants the State to pay for Wrigley AND keep ownership. So....its 2 totally different situations here. It will be interesting to see what happens when the Sox lease is up. Wrigley, of course, will continue to be owned and not leased if Ricketts has his way.

When the Sox lease is up, they will sign a new one....WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO, FRESNO?
I am looking forward to the day that Reinsdorf disappears....If his kid takes over, maybe the kid will pull a Rocky Wirtz!!!!
Bottom line here is that the Cubs generate $600,000,000 per season in tax revenues for the City and State......the White Sox generate $600.00 per year in tips for the wait staff at the Cork and Kerrys...and half of that is WHEN WE SHOW UP!!!!! :lol:

Really hard to take the Ricketts seriously after Undercover Boss. They look like a real hillbilly outfit.

It took FOREVER for people in New York to take George Steinbrenner seriously.
