  1. If there was a way for accounting for all the extra revenue Wrigleyville generates for the Ricketts I'd guess that they'd probably be close to the Yankees.
  2. Don't forget the concerts, football games, hockey games, Christmas villages, hotel, apartments, bars, and corporate function rentals.
  3. The Cubs are going bullpen vs. Aaron Nola.
  4. I saw that too. I try to watch or listen to most every game. Trying to do that for the rest of the season is a response effort I'm not willing to make.
  5. I know the whole, respect the game angle - but I think the Cubs should have fun with the next handful of games and bring guys up for a game or two who had a good season in AAA.
  6. It's not a no-brainer but it's probably not a tough financial decision to opt-out if he thinks he can get a 5 year deal somewhere. There are other considerations to think about though. I read he's happy in Chicago and his family likes it. I think they live in the Phoenix area in the offseason. I like him on the team, but he's not a difference-maker at this point. He has utility and helps the team at various positions. Given the artificial financial constraints, it is probably best for the Cubs if he opts-out.
  7. I suppose if one approaches the season of a year one rebuild it's not so bad. They couldn't run on a team with a poor run defense. The coach makes the same dumb mistakes he's made in the past. The defense looked good but got worn down. All these things are not new and have not been corrected. Same Bears/
  8. The Athletic did an article on the White Sox and lets just say, wow it's a terribly run organization.
  9. Coaching matters as does personnel management. Kyle is wrong.
  10. And people reflexively want to trade him because he's been on the 40-man too long or something.
  11. This thread is exactly the same as a random game two years ago. It’s coaching and personnel decisions by upper management.
  12. Any context that has Wesneski starting games for the Cubs means bad things have happened. He’s awful.
  13. Glad I can’t bet.
  14. I'd take USC giving points and the under (44) this week if I could bet. I hate betting against Michigan but it seems like a good bet.
  15. Biscuits are also in a game three winner-take-all all tonight. I need them both to win.
  16. I'll bet you 500 fake dollars that neither one is traded if Bellinger returns.
  17. I don't know. I guess what I'm saying is, if I'm flipping around the TV and see a game is on NBC or whatever I might tune in, but I'm not going to take the trouble to find the ap or log on to the computer to watch.
  18. I couldn't find a week 3 thread - but is anyone going to go out of their way and watch the Jets and Patriots on Amazon? I mean, major markets and all, but I can't imagine anyone signing up to watch these Thursday games.
  19. Yes, he's front-footing his swing, and his power is sapped even though he has better-than-average bat speed. It's fixable, but it would take a concerted effort.
  20. I sure hope you are wrong.
  21. Just empty the farm? How about Rooker and Miller? One stop shopping.
