while Wrigley gets alot of Pub for offensive output, it is merely a function of the wind blowing out. It blows in almost twice as often as it blows out. Everyone remembers the 12-10 games, but forget the 3-1 games.

The park on the south side is much more hitter friendly on a day-to-day basis.

Time for the stat guys to weigh in and tell me how wrong I am.

Actually you're right, the wind does blow in more.

Coors is friendly 100% of the time. Not sure about this year, but last year the wind blew in more times than out if I remember correctly.

Do yourself a favor and look up his home/away splits before you make any more comments as idiotic as this one. His OBP and slugging are both 30 points higher on the road. Don't be stupid.

That doesn't change the fact that his numbers are helped at home. If he wasn't at coors, the discrepancy may be 60 or 70 pts. Illogical argument you used.

I guess that's about as good of a counter argument I could expect from a Cubs fan. Better luck next time.
