Could Beth Murphy come off as even more of a shrill harpy? I submit that she cannot.

I mean, I think she's terrible, but in that clip? She doesn't register as shrill to me.

 

But I love Armen pointing at the mock-up of the board and saying, "here is the uhhh, board, right?"

[USSoccer]

No, she's definitely Queen of the Harpies.

[Guest]

The nasally Chicago accent puts her over the top.

well, this is certainly a different angle the ricketts are taking here. we'll see how it goes, but i'm kind of afraid that this will be something that makes the smart minority like them more and give the dumb majority meatball fuel.

i feel like almost everybody is against the rooftops, meatballs and all

 

i have yet to run into a casual conversation with someone who feels otherwise, at least

[Guest]

Also, Armen Keteyian was on with Waddle and Silvy. Did anyone catch it?

aren't those mostly just like business outings and stuff?

 

i guess I shouldn't say that they're actively against them or something like that, but I don't think very many people sympathize with them

[Guest]

are there like bootleg showtime streams out there? I really want to see this.

[Guest]

Did anyone get to watch this?

I don't have Showtime but got my mom does and I got her to DVR. Hopefully I'll catch it tomorrow.

Cool, thanks.

 

I'm hoping/expecting Brett or one of the other blogs will have a write up at some point soon.

YOU'RE BORING EVERYONE...QUIT BORING EVERYONE!

[jersey cubs fan]

11 minutes of "these are the Cubs, this is where they play, this is Tom Ricketts, he likes baseball, short-term isn't important, you are looking at the wrong things."

 

Then the ending is everything we've seen already regarding construction (regarding patience, Beth Murphy not thinking they need a jumbotron) and then when it* happens it will be great.

 

 

Nothing interesting. Nothing of note regarding construction.

 

 

*it being a world series

[Ryne Ween]

I have an honest question for you folks. Especially those who are supportive of the long-term plan. Considering they are leveraging the entire franchise on a handful of promising young prospects whose MLB impact is far from certain; at what point is a world series championship not enough? How many years of this bs is too many for a world series to cure it? Is it 7 years? Infinity years? This is year 3 for Epstein. How many more years of sub 80 wins is too many for you?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

How many more years of sub 80 wins is too many for you?

Been at this for decade(s) now. The losing does not impact my fandom and Ricketts knows it.

I personally don't give a [expletive] if they win 10 games TOTAL over the next 9 years if I know year 10 is a World Series winner.

Which is meaningless, because you can't know that.
