I can't find that article so maybe I'm crazy but I thought it was Gordo or Levine who mentioned the Cubs were getting massive overages bill in the "construction projects" hotel ect. I thought it was over a $100M.
I'm having similar results with Fansedge.com. One of my fed ex shipments went from Ohio-TN-Burbank IL-Chicago-Berlin Wi- Now its going to be delivered by the post office with estimated delivery Thursday. No idea
Castro/Torres/Soler/Billy Mckinney/Crawford for what amounts to 1 full season and 3 months of team control for closers. Davis also costs 10M and is coming off two DL stints for forearm strains. Doesn't seem like the best use of assets.
Magazine? There's this awesome new invention called "the Internet." It'll put magazines out of business eventually. good talk russ http://cdn0.dailydot.com/uploaded/images/original/2013/7/25/goodtalk.gif =D> well done
I don't love the idea of emptying the farm when the Cubs have plenty of $$$ to get it done via free agency. Rich Hill coming back to Chicago on a 2 year or 3 year deal makes sense. The Cubs have the luxury of slotting him in the fifth slot and giving him extra days rest. Cubs keep the first round pick and get to gamble on adding another frontline pitcher to the rotation with Arrietta and Lackey still under tow for another year. Rich Hill Melacon or Chapman Holland/Ziegler/Hudson/Rodney/Uehara/Storen/ Hochevar/Papelbon Trade Bait Soler Rondon Szczur Villenueva Canderlio Montero Lastella If the Cubs decide to let Dexter walk having two first round picks and Soler/ Rondon to restock the pitching should go a along way.
Playoff revenue , the inveitable ticket price increase, additional seats in the old bullpens, and new $$$ seats behind home plate. Theo and company are playing possum.
I really would be shocked to see them not sign Jansen or Chapman at this point. The Cubs don't have a ton of money committed after this year with Lackey/Montero/Arrietta/Strop coming off the books. We are a big market team that just won the world series.
I'm pretty sure it was accident on stub hubs part but they ended up giving me a $100 off coupon which was the first offer. I kept after them through Dm on twitter and was told I would be given my money back and the full amount of my order in coupon form for my next purchase. Somewhere along the line my account was credited with both. 196.00 SR0 purchase after fee 100 coupon 296.00 in total credits. Used them to grab a SRO for game 1 in Ohio for $192.50 after credits.
After having sucesss with the getting the board involved after I tweeted Len and JD/ Bruce miles about Freds passing. I'm hoping to to get a couple up votes for a much less serious matter. Stubhub screwed me over on Saturday and didn't live up to there "Seat Guarantee". I've had success using reedit and twitter to remedy disputes with other companies before.
