On what date does Maddon get fired? winner gets an up vote
CubinNY replied to NotSoSober's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Who says they can't find a better manager? I haven't liked Maddon since he almost lost the WS with his choke moves.I think he's lost his motivation for the game after the WS win. I think they either fire him at the ASB (just before) or whenever they raise the white flag and become sellers. No need to have him around during a mini-tank. I guess I'm saying between the ASB and trade deadline. -
I’m really upset about losing two games maybe they shouldn’t have. I’m more worried about the starting pitching than I am about the bullpen. There’s a lot of potential badness with little hope of fixing.

Hendricks extended through 2023
CubinNY replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The joke is on all you [expletive]. The Ricketts aren't extending anyone else ever again. -
Kimbrel is just sitting out there and ate Cubs aren’t going to budge. I seriously am questioning the Ricketts desire to win baseball games.

Juan Pierre, I hate everything he was supposed to stand for (leadoff guy, base stealer, etc.). But mostly, I hate Dusty Baker. I think Russell is the product of a terrible upbringing who brought his learning history with him. I'm not excusing his behavior. I don't think he gets it still with his recent comments. I don't think he understands why what he did was wrong. I think he only understands that he got into trouble and is acting his way out of it. He needs a good psychologist and to see the outcomes of his actions by being made to volunteer with social workers who attempt to help battered women. I think he should have been suspended for a year at least to work on his behavioral problems. I think they are much deeper than beating on women. I don't think he's going to be a passable baseball player until he deals with his behavioral problems. I certainly don't think he should be in uniform at all right now, and never again for the Cubs.

baseball is life, horsefeathers.

The Ricketts are stupid.

Impressive dude.

Mark Prior syndrome is my diagnosis. He'll be doing the towel drill by the end of ST.

Where is the one of Homer's dad entering and leaving the room?

I hope Theo writes a book someday. I hope there is a chapter in the book about this off-season and the decision to stand pat. I really want to know why.

Harper is going to have some monster seasons in that park if they can get someone to hit behind him.

The Ricketts could today afford anything they want. They are in a private club who has decided they want to keep costs down and have artificially set a ceiling that they are agreeing not to go over. The Ricketts are one of the prime movers behind this agreement. Yes, you subscribe to what I like to call The Church of my Last Sentence, which is totally cool. The Cubs are not a business, MLB is not a business. It's a billionaire club that is closed. It's exempt from antitrust and the rules that you think apply don't apply. You're too smart by half.

I'm looking at the line items of a P&L for an adjacent organization: a team that was operating poorly -- low spend/cost, low revenue. Because we know, for example, how cheap the Marlins were on marketing and promotions or anemic on attendance vis a vis the Cubs, we can attempt to fill in the gaps between that organization and the Cubs to come up with a reasonable estimate of what we think the Cubs brought home last year. The Marlins had low attendance. We know what the Cubs attendance was! The Marlins had low ticket prices. We know what the Cubs ticket prices were! The Marlins didn't pay their players. We know what the Cubs paid theirs! The Marlins didn't renovate their ballpark. We know the Cubs did! I mean, or we can just sit around talking about the Cubs have a higher valuation now as if that contributes to the organization's cashflows. Or we can say none of this matters because the Ricketts family can always sell a few houses to increase payroll. The Ricketts could today afford anything they want. They are in a private club who has decided they want to keep costs down and have artificially set a ceiling that they are agreeing not to go over. The Ricketts are one of the prime movers behind this agreement.
