Big Z Want's New Stadium...Notes...Blog News

At new Yankee Stadium Carlos Zambrano made a plea for change in Chicago. That change is that Big Z wants Wrigley to be replaced. Here's what he said:

"You come into a ballpark like this and you see great things."

"You wish that Chicago'd build a new stadium for the Cubs," he added.

"People are used to Wrigley Field," he said. "As a fan it's hard to think of a new ballpark."

Cubs manager Lou Piniella couldn't agree less with his Opening Day starter. The former Yankees outfielder and manager was enchanted by the new ballpark in the Bronx, but can't wait to return to Chicago for the first home game on April 13.

"I don't see why," Piniella said when asked if the Cubs need a new stadium. "Wrigley's got its own uniqueness. There's no question the facilities need to be redone but that's going to happen.

"My favorite time of year is when the ivy turns green. It's really a great environment to play a ballgame," he said.

Notes:

• The roster will be finalized today at 2:00pm. Between Patton, Shark Boy, Guzman, and Gaudin, which two will make the club? My Guess is Patton and Guzman.
• The Cubs were selected 3 out of the 21 writers by ESPN to win the World Series. But 6 of the 21 say t hat the Cubs will be in the World Series.

Later Today I will have a recap of the Cub predictions from "MLB Tonight Predictions" show on MLBN.

Remember the FIRST Sunday of the regular season which is on April 12, is the first edition of "HOT TOPICS" which will be hot DUH.
