Even though Chris Krug told me at the McHenry County Economic Development Commission dinner that the baseball stadium at McHenry County College was dead before the board had taken the vote, he seems as hung up about the loss as I am that it was ever proposed.

His Sunday column talked about how he wished he could head over the MCC to the “ Cranks, Crabs, Curmudgeons and Naysayers Field” to see the McHenry County Krugs play this past weekend.

Now, Krug argues we should have a stadium in order to save the gasoline it would take to drive to Geneva to see the Kane County Cougars.

He does end his column with humor I can appreciate:

“So thanks again, Cranks, Crabs, Curmudgeons and Naysayers for all you do to keep McHenry County thriving in all those vivid shades of black and white.

“Maybe I’ll just break out the Speedo, head over to Vulcan Lakes, and then play a little pick-up water polo.

“Oh, wait a second.“
