    Future Cardinal.

    This is fun to watch, but you guys are really just debating the difference between getting a B.J. or Head.

    Forgot to read the summation over at the Committed Indian the other night, probably because I was frustrated. This pretty much reflects my feelings: Rozsival is literally killing this team and has been for months. He could easily cost you one or two games in a tight 7 game series.

    The officiating was horrendous through out the tourney. Needs to be addressed.

    Fowler highlights - I didn't realize how string he is; watch him yank guys backwards while his body is going the other direction or is in neutral:

    Picking Mariota at 7 is a "no-duh"; or at minimum trading to the pick to Houston, Cleveland (2 first round picks), or Philly and loading up. I can't see him falling to 7. Someone will vault the Bears via trade if he gets past 3.

    Not sure where to put this, but felt pst relevant to this thread: http://deadspin.com/keith-law-will-find-you-if-you-repost-his-espn-insider-1695950422

    One of my friends said he could hear the game clearly too. He lives on Diversey and Sheffield. Might need to dial this in a bit. I used to be able to hear the games from that neighborhood back in 98'.

    Port-o-Johns will have to be a minimum distance from food and can't be anywhere other than the main level. That's going to be cozy. EDIT: I'd consider putting up fences outside the RF and LF corner entrances to effectively extend the inside of the park and then and put a dozen or so of them on each side.

    even the blind guy is excited, you guys!

    My girlfriend's fam is hosting Easter...they are Southsiders without a drop of tolerance for their neighbors. Fortunately we should be done before the game starts and I can head home.

    WI is a great team, fun to watch, and Kaminsky reminds me a lot of Laetnner. The officiating was awful and has been all tourney long.

    Looks like I inspired them - they're within 13 EDIT: Nevermind
  14. RynoRules
    Wow. The Spartans are asleep. This is as horrible a Final Four performance as I can recall in some time.
  15. RynoRules
    Why is Mich St having so much difficulty getting back on D? Its like they are blind to the guy who is cherry-picking. That's been worth at least 10 points in Duke's favor.

    Is "Jaxon" not a thing anymore?
  17. RynoRules
    Agreed - the spin on this will not be good regardless.

    I'm no huge fan of Coghlan but starting Szczur over him is crazy talk. I'm no huge fan of Szczur, but I'm not sure it is. If Szczur can put up numbers for a few weeks in Iowa, then I'll rethink my statement. I really hate Chris Coghlan. Coghlan's Law: the more you dislike him, the better he plays...

    Eh, they "agreed" to it is hardly an argument against them complaining about it. Ownership's job is to exploit the agreement to their financial benefit. Just because you agreed to it doesn't mean you should be okay with however it is implemented. Also, it is standard operating procedure to let it be known what you are unhappy about in advance of negotiations. A few thoughts: - Go ahead and complain, but you only create greater acrimony when it comes time to bargain. - Just because something is a SOP doesn't mean its a good idea. - Both sides seek to exploit CBA's and the inevitably vaguely defined terms and concepts contained therein; its not exclusive to management. If you weren't a Cubs fan you would not care. The only people taking offense to this "posturing" are Cubs management and Cubs fans. Might be true of the average Cubs fan, but not this one because of what I do for a living.

    It's not that simple. I'm still not entirely clear on it, but all sides involved seem to be acting as if there's either a CBA provision or a labor law that forbids teams from acting this way for the reasons the Cubs are doing it. It may be a rule that has never been enforced, but it sure seems to be there. There may be a dispute over the language and what it means. There is no labor law the prevents the authorized bargaining agent from agreeing to language itself. Are you allowed to agree to compensation via metrics, and then game the metrics? Or is that bad faith? Its not "bad faith", but it could be a violation of the terms of the agreement. Most likely a question for an arbitrator, depending on how the CBA operates.

    Good - we need to give Forte some help.

    As I said, its about more than just revenue distribution. In any case, the MLBPA is complaining about a provision it agreed to as part of the most recent contract negotiation. The current CBA expires in December 2016. Deal with it then instead of firing up a controversy at the beginning of a new season that has absolutely no chance of creating a positive outcome in the short term.
