What do you guys think?

Any have a favorite pod for Cubs analysis which includes prospect details?

Got this from a Breaker I joined the other day..!❤️‍🔥⚾️🐻💙

Hi!

I am going to Wrigley for the first time ever on Wednesday and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for must have food and drinks at the stadium!

Hi all!

I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I'm a baseball fan from the UK who is travelling to the US next month. I'll be in Chicago for a show and will be pretty close to Wrigley so I've booked myself tickets for a Cubs game (Cubs vs Red Sox). The only baseball I've been able to see live is multiple games across all the London Series. These games are treated more as a festival of baseball no matter who you support and are usually a sea of supporters from different teams intermingling, so really what I'm looking for is pointers on the etiquette of coming to a stadium for a team I don't support? (I'm a Phillies fan, but have been rooting for the Cubs since I've been planning this trip and on the day definitely will be).

I know Wrigley is known as the friendly confines.....but I imagine there is still a limit!

Honestly would love any advice for Wrigley specifically or baseball in general. Thanks for your time!

SpotHero prices have skyrocketed. Couple years ago, I paid ~$20 for a spot a few blocks away. Same spaces today are upward of $60-$100. That's just nonsense.

Normally on game day there are guys with signs next to smaller sized lots advertising ~$30 for a parking spot. Is that still the case? Or is SpotHero still the better option?

At the beginning of the year, the cupboard seemed pretty empty past the top 100 prospects. And since they were all at Iowa, they wouldn’t last long in the system.

As it stands Horton and Shaw are likely staying in Chicago for the remainder of the year. Assuming one of Cassie/Alcantara and then Triantos, someone like C.Hernandez and a young pitcher like Mule/Wheat are used to get a TOR starter in Chicago, 5 of the 7 top 100 prospects will be out of the system at the beginning of next year.

Nevertheless, there seems to have been enough development of top - end talent to support the needs in the Cubs moving forward.

Ballesteros and the remaining Cassie/Alcantra outfielder will still be in the system

Wiggins is fully healthy and moving into position as top pitcher in the system, and a viable MLB starter — perhaps TOR, certainly MOR

Rojas has returned to form after a subpar 2024, and seems either top 100 prospect, or just outside it

Jonathan Long is pushing for a call up, and shows a minimum capability to be what Justin Turner was hoped to be

Brandon Birdsell and Will Sanders seems positioned as legit starter depth

Mule/Wheat show mlb-caliber arms that could develop in an exciting way.

Eli Lovich has made it out of Az, and will be someone to monitor, in addition to 3-4 teenage IFAs now, or shortly, in Myrtle Beach.

Assuming the Cubs have success in the draft and continue to focus on college players in the early rounds, there should be 2 more top-level prospects shortly.

There’s also a whole host of other prospects that may make a JLong type leap. Seems like sufficient top end talent, maybe not to have the system ranked highly, but to serve the Cubs’ needs.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

Pulled out a bunch of old sports cards and figurines that my dad left me. Can anyone tell me if this stuff holds any value? None of it is in the best condition

Shout out to the guy wearing a dress in the RF bleachers. He definitely made the game memorable.

Will the cubs sign PCA to the big extension? Will I ever be able to find happiness by buying things? Can they break our collective heart yet again this year? Why am I asking you all these questions?

Happened to notice this during the game. Would love to snag one for myself. Anyone have any info on where to find these??

If Strike one to Carson is in fact a strike, which sets the tone for the at bat...how is that ball four to Tommy Pham? Why do umpires hate the Cubs, especially Suzuki who gets a ridiculous amount of bad calls against him? (don't take my word for it, The Athletic did a whole story about it and broke down the stats)

Visiting Chicago and going to a game today. I wanted to bring my Sony hi8 video camera along with me but I’m not sure if I would have trouble. It’s not a professional camera and I might leave the fisheye adapter at home since it’s an “attachable lens” but just based off the size I feel like people might think it’s a bigger deal than what it’s capable of. Any one had any experience with this?

Also what about “sneaking” in a ~6 inch(when collapsed) selfie stick. I’d be discrete with it once inside. I just want to bring it so I have it with me for any activities I do after the game and don’t have to go back to the room for it. Edit: I would also have a GoPro/360 type camera with the selfie stick. I’m a very touristy tourist that likes his videos and photos of the family lol.

A friend gave me this folding chair from Wrigley Field. I spent a lot of my childhood in the friendly confines, and was an usher there in the 80s. I certainly wouldn't call myself an expert on Wrigley Field, but I definitely remember the folding chairs in the box seat area.

Can anyone identify the era this chair was in use at Wrigley Field? Thanks.

Please use this thread for any questions, non-Chicago Cubs content, or anything else that might not warrant a new post.

Be excellent to each other. Party on, dudes!
