My plan is to hit up those ones this year. And outside of Cubs, Great American is fun and Citi Field looked nice inside My sister went to Fenway and Wrigley last year. She liked both. I am the baseball fan in the family and I have not been to either of them. I hear Camden Yards is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLfan Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I listened to Anthony Rizzo speaking at the vigil in Parkland, FL. That high school where those folks were shot is his alma mater. He went there to support the community. He is a class act. I would give up almost any player on the Mets for him. He reminds me of David Wright.

I love the guy , wish there were more like him in baseball . Not a slap at MLB because I know there are many who give back to the community that don't get publicized , the Cards are full of them present and past. Rizzo is one of the special ones though.

NFLfan Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Baseball announced some changes to speed up the pace of the games. Quote • Umpires will enforce Rule 6.02(d), which requires hitters to keep one foot in the box during an at-bat, subject to certain exceptions. • Timers will be used to ensure that the game resumes promptly at the end of inning breaks. • Managers will no longer come out of the dugout to initiate a replay challenge. A manager will also keep his challenge after each call that is overturned. Last year, a challenge was retained only after the first overturned call. Linky Any thoughts? John Lester does not like the rules. Lester says rules are "Terrible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I wonder where Jake will end up? If he goes to the Yankees or Dodgers, might as well give them the trophy. I hope he goes to someone like the Phillies . He has talked about it because he has friends on that team. If he goes to the Brewers or Cards that is also bad for the Cubs.

I agree. There is nothing like Baseball Playoffs and part of is because it keeps everyone on the edge of their seats. Because its slow and strategic. When the Cubs played the Indians in Game 7, it drove me nuts but in a great way because of the back n forth Pitching changes and the strategy dragging out. The suspense had me on edge just waiting for the next play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
