Mock you

Strangely, though I live approx. 4 blocks from the hallowed grounds of Wrigley Field, I have yet to come up with my position on the Cubs v Rooftops debate. I guess knowing that both entities are just money whores makes it hard to have sympathy for either of them - - kind of like Ben and J-Lo (or, as the kids say Bennifer).

So, when the Cubs announced they had come to terms with a majority of the rooftop owners this offseason I thought, "Great, now I don't have to hear about this s*#% anymore." Ah, how I was wrong. The Cubs, fathers of the windscreen, and sharp rhetoric, are now going to Broadway to block the view of the sole rooftop owner not in on the deal agreed to in early January. Andy McPhail didn't want to go to in depth about how the Cubs aim to do this, but when asked directly he stated:

"...you'll get an opportunity to see on opening day. I don't want to take all of the drama out of it."

In response the Cubs latest attempt to "take back" the Cubs from the Rooftop Owners, Eric Neel wrote a great piece hypothesizing what the Cubs plan to do next. My favorite line:

Sources close to sources close to the organization indicate plans are in the works to discourage area restaurants from selling beer and hot dogs, to have the streets surrounding the park made toll roads, to tent the stadium on off days, and to administer a short, sharp electric shock to citizens thinking of, speaking of, or in any way picturing Wrigley Field in their minds' eyes.

This article so totally makes up for his part in the NCAA Tournament Blogger ESPN tried to run.

On a side note, above I used random symbols to signify a naughty word. Does anybody know if I there is a proper order in which to use these symbols? Perhaps a key of some sort. Something like: * = h, # = i, or % = t. Just curious.
