  1. I really can't blame scalpers for wanting to make easy money, but I philosophically agree with your statement. I know a lot of people who buy tickets only to re-sell them, but I personally would feel a little shady making a large profit at someone else's expense.
  2. I got selected on 1 out of my 3 submissions, but after reading how many other people got selected it still doesn't sound very likely that I will actually get tickets. Has anyone bought Red Sox tickets in the past? Will it be the same system the Cubs use where you can open 50 windows up, or will it be 1 window per login?
  3. According to David Schuster, the deal is most likely in the range of 2-3 years at approximately $6M per year.
  4. I disagree... the sweetest words are "Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air."
  5. I imagine the chances of getting picked are next to zero, but I have already booked my flight and hotel so I'm going to have to come up with tickets somehow.
  6. He is tolerable for an occasional game, but if I have to listen to his Otto-isms all summer long I'm pretty sure I'll be beating my head on my desk at work.
  7. Congrats to the Bears coaching staff for essentially throwing the 3rd quarter away by playing Collins.
  8. We did. But then for some undetermined reason, Collins quietly moved back ahead of Hanie on the depth chart.
  9. More like 18. As far as I can tell, Robbie Gould must be unavailable for kicking field goals and extra points today.
  10. they need to be held accountable for their embarrassing actions in the way that they've chosen to ref this game. they have been absolutely disgraceful and have dishonored their families. in japan, they would be forced to commit suicide. I know you are joking, but the refs haven't been that bad. The players and the coaching have put the Bears in a 14-0 hole. I completely agree. I'm just looking at the one individual play and wondering what the point of replay is if the referee overlooks such an obvious incidence of the player being down by contact. Did Williams slide into the end zone? I don't think so, but Knox had his hand on top of his helmet on the way down.
  11. The Bears would be better off in wildcat. Forte throws a nice ball.

  13. Ok, so I'll go along with that being an interception, but he was clearly down by contact inside the 5 yard line. How could they possibly review the play and leave the ball at the 10? I realize it wouldn't have made any difference, but that still does not excuse the referee for not getting the call right.
  14. http://twitter.com/#!/CarrieMuskat/status/26088588324114433 At this rate, the Cubs should construct a statue of the guy who makes the statues.
  15. I know it is only $800,000, but this is still a glaring example of the Cubs' financial mismanagement. They choose to spend $400,000 more than they would have to for another younger, and better, player. I would sure rather have the extra $400,000 available to spend somewhere else.
  16. Yep. It is about to the point that they should just make it illegal to hit the quarterback. At least that would be a consistently enforceable rule.
  17. He is tree-mendously bad.
  18. I'm amazed that Hendry was able to pull this signing off without backing up the money truck. I wonder if this was basically the Andre Dawson blank check scenario all over again.
  19. I know this probably isn't the best use of the team's limited money, but I can't help but like the idea of bringing Wood back. Hopefully this means that he will finish his career as a Cub. As someone else mentioned, hopefully it also means that Cashner won't be forced into a bullpen role and can begin the season as a starter.
  20. As much as I hate to do it, I have to side with ESPN for once. The end of a historic streak is bigger news than an offseason transaction.
  21. According to this article, Prior is deciding between minor league offers from the Yankees and Rangers. The Phillies got Lee, so now it would be great if the Yankees end up with Prior as their booby prize! http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/12/07/mark-prior-choosing-between-offers-from-yankees-rangers/
  22. Might be? Don't forget Wood, Prior, Zambrano, Maddux. :-o
  23. Wow, that is one scary rotation... Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, Hamels
