    Kane County games. Almora's plate patience. Vizcaino.

    Together, but I'm not sure on separately. Will wait for scs to let us know. I was basically stating that I don't know who the hell the Mariners have these days, but I'm sure we can work something out if they're interested. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Leshoure at Chicago or Lloyd vs Jets (and likely Cromartie)?

    Totally reasonable. If he needs to be in Chicago or LA for his daughter then he needs to come out and say this and everyone will respect his decision but this doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to me he's holding a grudge against the Braves for leaking that deal before he approved it. Who is "everyone" in this scenario? A bunch of fans he owes nothing to?

    Impression of Will Ferrell doing an impression of Harry Caray, at best.

    Thanks!

    Sure. Every season the players change. The ownership and uniforms have been changed numerous times of the years. So since 1916 — Wrigley Field has been the one constant which has defined the Cubs organization. People don't travel across the country to go to U.S. Cellular Field. Wrigley Field has not been the one constant that has defined the Cubs organization.

    Don't the ads populate based on other sites you've visited?

    I miss Jay Cutler.

    It's not racism how he dislikes players who are bad. It's racism how he inevitably falls on racial stereotypes to describe them. Are we talking about A-Ram here? Have I called Z lazy?

    Isn't there a quote from Ricketts saying the guy who replaces Hendry reports directly to him? Why is Kenney's involvement on the baseball side even worth mentioning after the offseason moves?

    If the jinx gods no longer have to report to the curse gods, is that a real promotion or only on paper?
  15. VVMattVV
    But... he doesn't have a checkpoint (IE: Lucchino). If I didn't have to have my manager's approval to order myself a $4000 desk and make my own hours, that would be a promotion. Sure, I'm still doing the same job, but having unrestricted access to certain privileges and abilities makes my job different. Better. It is a promotion. Once again not sure where the disconnect is going here...on paper its a promotion...but my contention was that the fact hes going to essentially be responsible for the same duties is the reason the Sox asked for compensation. Don't really know what the big deal is about that. If it's a promotion on paper, it's a promotion. I'm guessing the Red Sox asked for compensation because we're taking an employee under contract for a year and they're trying to squeeze any value out of it that they can. Not because of a weird semantic argument on what is and isn't really a promotion.
  16. VVMattVV
    1) He has that already...as I said Lucchino is on the business side now...this already happened back in 06 The rest of it is semantics, in the case of him being "Co CEO" he could appoint a general manager and be put into a Shapiro role and have Cherrington be his Chris Antonelli...I see where you're coming from, but Byrnes is not in place and as of right not that's only an assumption, until Theo gets hired Byrnes cannot get hired. Thus for now Theo could be whatever the hell he pleases but if he keeps the same duties then he is the GM still...no? Wow. No.

    4th and 8th in the Marlins system with a down year does not equal McNutt having a down year.
  18. VVMattVV
    Jesus [expletive] Christ. ... I'm going to give this man so many babies. I had to go back and read some of the Gary Hughes interview after listening to this.
  19. VVMattVV
    Kenney's reputation is also known by national writers...then again, they must be lying too (sarcasm) Well, you convinced me. The guy who says Kenney overruled Hendry on Zambrano for an 8 year "sentence" and says we can expect Sandberg as the next manager clearly has good sources.

    Rick Hahn would be a great choice, but I'm not sure it would be a great PR move to take a guy from the White Sox to turn around the Cubs. I think Ricketts will have a long list of excellent choices, so a connection to the crosstown rivals might hurt Hahn's chances. Ricketts would be a complete and total moron if he decided not to hire Hahn on the basis that Hahn works for the White Sox. The media is already playing up the Cub fan background anyway.
  21. VVMattVV
    I doubt that's "mainly" the reason.
  22. VVMattVV
    Anyway, I expected a quick reaction to this small query. Looking at stats and other numbers is only a small portion of what makes a player a prospect or non-prospect. Thinking about what is not said or done can lead to other insights that further our knowledge of a player's capability. I noticed something I thought was unusual and posted for others to speculate. I am not attacking the perceived good character of a prominent Cub prospect, but any good examination of a prospect starts with a good base of critical analysis. We shouldn't tie our emotions of wanting a player to succeed and overlook flaws that may hinder a prospect in the long run. Good analysis means having the ability to throw away insights when disproved and I expect the anomaly of Peoria's winning without Szczur to be disproved. However, its still important to speculate.. This is all nonsense.

    His loser son blamed his drop in production on the bat. Like father like son, I guess.

    There is absolutely no chance of fans/analysts ever putting someone ahead of Jordan without winning even one ring. People argued in the past that LeBron was better, but it was more like giving him the benefit of the doubt since he had so much time left. He's probably halfway through being a big difference maker and he has 0 rings. He's got no chance of ever surpassing Jordan. To ever top MJ you're going to have to win more than six rings and win them all as the alpha dog. Agreed. If the Heat lose this series, a lot of people will point to LeBron losing in two Finals appearances while Jordan never lost one.
