whoa! What the heck is this?

On the Tribune website....here's the picture...


Yep...a big banner of Derrek Lee hanging off what looks like the back of the bleachers (anyone have another guess?)

Um...I'm guessing this isn't the only one of these being hung up. Ramirez, Soriano, Zambrano and Dempster likely will have banners as well. 

This is a bit odd, in my opinion...it just looks strange...something you wouldn't expect at Wrigley Field. 

One thing this does tell me, the Cubs do believe D-Lee is an integral part of this organization, and not just for this season.  Despite all the talks about trading Derrek or replacing him after the season are probably just a bunch of BS...so expect him to be given a contract extension at some point.
