He says the photos mostly speak for themselves, and added, simply:As you can see (especially in the left-field corner) there is quite a bit of work remaining, including painting of steel that’s now white. It will no doubt be painted to match the green paint of the rest of the 1060 Project. The dormers that were removed to build the upper-deck patio and were being rebuilt are nearly complete. One of the things the Cubs wanted to do with the 1060 Project was to restore the look of the ballpark in its “heyday,” considered to be the late 1920s through the late 1930s, when the team won four N.L. pennants. If you look at the photos that show the Addison Street side of the park and compare them to these 1938 World Series films Chad Bettis Jersey , you can see that the team has accomplished that goal:Yes, there are some differences, but the look is quite similar. You’ll also note that in the 1938 films, Wrigley gates are numbered instead of lettered, as they have been since at least the 1980s. It’s my understanding that the team is also going to restore these numbered gates, beginning at the Addison & Sheffield gate, which will be “Gate 1,” and go around the ballpark west, north, then east, to “Gate 10,” the bleacher gate number which has been there since the latest bleacher renovation in 2015.The home opener against the Pirates is four weeks from today, April 8. Some things (particularly in the right-field corner area) won’t be ready for that, but most everything else will be.Now we just have to get the weather to cooperate, something that did not happen last year. With the tie-breakers done we finally got the REAL playoffs started. They just couldn’t end it."We finally get to START the playoffs. We just don’t know how to END them.In a never ending extra-inning marathon Jonathan Lucroy Jersey , Colorado finally outlasted Chicago 2-1 in 13 innings. The game took 4 hours and 55 minutes. Over all that time the Cubs managed 6 hits (and that 1 run), but at least they got to extend their season out a few extra innings before they saw their entire seasons shut the hell down. And as a reward, Colorado had to burn through 6 more pitchers after the 5 they used yesterday, before they now go off to deal with Milwaukee tomorrow. For the Cubs, that’s 15 more wins on the season than we enjoyed, but...a 2-out, 2 strike, 2-man on base hit cost the Cubs 2 consecutive losses in 2 consecutive days against 2 different teams because of only scoring 2 runs across 22 innings of play. And that means about the same as what we got. Bupkiss for the Ditkas.But the game had its moments. Bases loaded, 2 out, down by 1 run with your ass on the line and you have two options. Jason Heyward or Kyle Schwarber? It really doesn’t matter what you do, because as long as your choice fails, the Internet will roast you for not using the other guy..........And we have a bromance...........We did have weird shit last night.....A ball lost in the ivy.....We had a double play that wasn’t, which was upheld when it shouldn’t have been.....Now we have the American League Wild Card game. Oakland A’s vs. the New York Yankees. Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is about 3 miles as the crow flies from Forbidden Island. A national tiki treasure. A classic. New York? They got nuthin’. Tiki bar pretenders. The entire state is not even on the national tiki scene radar. A person has to have their standards. My pick is Oakland.Speaking of picks. Make sure to bop over to the contest I fired up yesterday and throw your hat into the ring. It costs you nothing. It’s quick and easy. And the potential reward is pretty damned snazzy!...........(problems with the Angels............A lot happened in the changing world while Mike Scioscia remained an unchanging manager..........
