    Yeah, it’s a no frills nothing concrete stadium. It won’t win any awards for ambiance. But, if this matters, food and drink is better at the Sox field. Gotta make up for it a little bit, I guess. But no matter where you sit you have good sight lines. Not so at Wrigley. Fenway is a much better park than Wrigley, imo. I tell people to go to Wrigley at least once. It is an iconic place. But over all I think it lacks and I avoid it

    How long ago was that? It’s not any more a rough area than Wrigley. More muggings happen in Wrigleyville around Cubs games because of all the bars. The crime in that neighborhood spikes quite a bit around games, otherwise it’s not so bad. It’s always been the perception that the Sox stadium was a in bad area of town, but it’s not anymore. Not since they’ve torn down the Robert Taylor Homes in the 90s. I’ve lived in Chicago more than 25 yrs and have gone to many games there by myself, on the L or ridden my bike. I’ve never once been bothered by anyone or felt unsafe. And I’m a female. If you were mugged in the parking lot there, it was more random and not because the area is bad. Sorry that happened to you and understand how that drives your perception of the neighborhood. But it’s not at all like it was back in the 70s, 80s and 90s, and during game time, no worse, and probably better, than Wrigleyville during games.

    I’d still rather watch a game there than Wrigley. Way better sightlines for starters. It’s a nothing, concrete stadium, but I’d much rather see the whole field to partial view seats at Wrigley.

    If someone uses the rumor function, or one of the staff writers post an article in the Twins Talk forum, usually after a poster has already started a thread, it can’t be merged. There’s one TD writer in particular who often posts articles well after a thread has become popular with lots of comments. Make of that what you will. I sometimes wish the writers wouldn’t post an article after a poster has gone to the trouble of getting a forum discussion going, but I don’t think limiting the writers is the answer, either. I will sometimes post a link in the article comments to the original forum thread, but that gets a little tedious.

    I flew to Australia first … Ottawa to Toronto to LA to Sydney. Was long enough. Two weeks in Australia then flew to NZ, two weeks there, then home … Auckland to LA to Toronto to Ottawa. I arrived home a couple hours after I left. Or something like that.

    It’s tomorrow afternoon there.

    Where in NZ are you?

    None of your posts were removed. Although, they are egregiously off topic so maybe they should have been. @Brock Beauchamp asked you to PM him and not carry on here. If you don’t want moderator attention, stick to the topic and quit making your posts personal about other posters being positive or negative.

    While the pragmatist in me agrees with this assessment, the dreamer still believes ‘It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.’ So yes, there’s still a chance. But they have to win a lot this month. And others in close proximity need to lose a lot.

    Yes it has. Not sure why the need to resurrect it.
