    ? you watched part of every episode and sasha grey was in all of them? I messed up. I thought it was worst TV show you've ever seen.

    Walking Dead up to season 4

    Cam Robinson is a top 10ish type guy, but has some character concerns. If McGlinchey comes out(to my knowledge he's still uncommitted), he's another guy that's top 10-15. But those are likely the only 2 1st Rounders. If I were the Bears I'd still take him at the 3.

    I do not want the to trade Eloy. I think that would be a huge mistake. I can't believe the put him out there for Chapman.

    What are they planning to do for CF?

    Those slippers are kick ass.

    it's sooooo much better. He's balanced. His swing is more compact. He has his ass under his upper body. His weight transfer looks much better. He's not wrapping his upper arm. It looks good.

    Basically how I feel He had every right to try to leverage his position as a STH into profit and the Cubs had every right to decide it was too much and rightfully take their tickets back. A season ticket holder does not have the right to leverage their position. I seriously do not understand this mentality. You have no right resell tickets.

    I would like to personally thank all the benevolent scalp...er, I mean "brokers" for buying up all those tickets to Cubs games for us regular fans and then selling them for above face value. What a wonderful service they are providing.

    There are about 41,300 seats at Wrigley Field. People were willing to pay $3,500 for crappy upper level seats to Game 1. The scarcity of tickets relative to the demand for them is what dictated those prices. I don't know what the actual number of fans who wanted to attend one of the games was. I'm guessing it was easily over a million, though. Regardless, it turns out that the evil scalpers may have provided a way for some of these fans to attend the first WS in 71 years who would otherwise be locked out. The suggestion that brokers don't make otherwise-unavailable tickets available to fans doesn't pass the laugh test. That's precisely what they do, and why people are willing to pay the high prices. Unless you think there's some sort of scalper monopoly cartel out there. Hmm.... You mother horsefeathering moron.

    They only outweighed them because the talent was able to overcome the terrible decisions. He should not apologize because it's stupid to apologize. His managing was so out of character for him I do not except it will happen again. I have no idea what happened. Chapman was asked a question and he answered it truthfully.i don't think he was disparaging Joe. He said it's not his decision to make and he needs to be ready to go. Move on.

    That's awesome.

    The Ricketts are not losing money by kicking me off the season ticket list and giving my seats to another guy. That makes this stunt even more hilarious -- they knew that I and other season ticket holders were doing this for years and didn't cancel. Why not? Because nobody was going to those games then. It's hilarious but sad that you guys think they care about you. They returned 108 years of loyalty and years of overpriced baseball the only way they know how: By raising ticket prices by 20% on you season ticket holders. You really do not get it. Nobody thinks the Cubs are thinking about them. This is about your behavior and your expectation of the consequences of your behavior. Buying Cubs tickets is not an investment opportunity.
  14. CubinNY
    Right, because season ticket holders are not entitled to receive anything favorable for investing thousands of dollars for years, including during bad seasons. They should just give the tickets at face value to you -- the guy who was sitting on his couch eating pork rinds -- rather than putting them on a marketplace that millions of people have access to and can decide what the value of the ticket is worth to them. Seems fair. I prefer bbq chips. Nobody cares how much you spent. You are not supposed to buy season tickets so you can go to the games you want for free or to make money. You are delusional. If you are giving them to me at face value they are not for free. Scalpers are among the lowest forms of humanity.
  15. CubinNY
    Don't agree at all. 2013-14 sucked. Those of us that had them those years did so for the payoff of having them when they were good. It was money lit on fire. When you buy season tickets you are not supposed to be making an investment for a financial return. You are buying a product. You shouldn't expect to break even or make money. If that's your expectation, I hope you lose your seats too.
  16. CubinNY
    You just answered your own question. There are about 25,000 seats sold through season tickets meaning there are, what, maybe 10,000 season ticket holders (though probably fewer because last I recall, season ticket holders could have up to 10 tickets per account)? So you do the math. The Cubs can easily afford to get rid of 500-1,000 accounts who they deem to be "scalping" when their list is 100,000 deep. Remember, you have your season tickets in their "absolute discretion." They can boot you at any time on their own terms. If their true goal is to maintain season tickets holders who they deem to be "loyal" then I don't think they will have a problem finding 1,000 more people who will not sell more than, say 20 games, on Stubhub. Do you? I don't think selling tickets every once in awhile on stub-hub is the problem. I don't really like what they are doing, but if I were the Cubs I wouldn't like people buying tickets for the purpose of making money off them, which by your on admission you've done to a great extent. It doesn't matter to them or to me that you've sunk a lot of money in tickets that you can't use or don't want. Don't buy season tickets if your intent is to go to a handful of games per year and sell the rest.

    I've forgotten how great that movie is.

    It's not that old, but the Cubbie Swagger Western medicine rants were pretty good. Also and related, the you don't get as bad a hang over from "top shelf" liquor.
