Off topic... but can someone recommend a hotel?

Going to Wrigley for the Cards series in a few weeks. Need a hotel for Saturday night. The Days Inn on Diversey, where I usually stay, is sold out! Just looking for a place to crash that’s either in/near Wrigleyville or near another good area for four 26 year old guys looking to have a good drunken night.

by kanderber on Aug 28, 2008 8:13 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

For cheap and clean

I recommend the Heart O’ Chicago. Definitely not fancy, but it works for crash space.

I don’t want to stay in a motel… I just wanna keep the hotel under 200 bucks. I guess I should have specified that, sorry.

by kanderber on Aug 28, 2008 8:17 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Oh, it's cheaper than $200

But you can find better for closer to $200 – that’s for sure

It's yet another episode of "Outfield Adventures", starring Milton Bradley, as he'd lose this Jason Kendall-hit ball in the sun Friday against the Brewers.

Jeff Suppan is thrown out by Kosuke Fukudome in the seventh inning of the Cubs 2-1 win.

Buster Olney said a few days ago that the Braves would entertain offers for their 26 year old shortstop (who makes 450k) Yunel Escobar. He is a plus bat, a solid defender, and would move Theriot to his more appropriate position at second.

They are looking for a bat in return. Apparently Cox doesn't like the guy. 

I couldn't even speculate what we'd have to send them in return, but I think he would be a good fit given his low salary, his productive bat, his position, and his age.  I don't care if he's a jerk if he makes the team win more.

What would it take?
