    Does anyone know when Cardinals single game tickets go on sale? I'm wanting to make a trip to St. Louis this year, but I still don't see any dates on their site. Do they typically go on sale later than most teams?

    Mattingly, shave those sideburns!

    I priced out a few games in the presale and decided to wait and try my luck on Friday. I have a bad feeling I'm not going to get any good games/seats this year, but I couldn't justify spending almost $300 for 4 bleacher tickets to a Friday game or almost $200 for 2 outfield box seats to a Thursday afternoon game. As much as I love going to Wrigley Field, at this year's ticket prices road trips are looking more and more attractive.

    I actually prefer the games on CSN now only because of the pre- and post-game shows that are virtually non-existant on WGN. My only concern is that Dish Network has limited RSN bandwidth and they occasionally don't show the CSN games in HD, especially if they are on CSN+. In other words, more games on CSN probably means less games in HD for me.

    Does this spell the end of the Micah Hoffpauir era?

    I signed up in 2006 and am #21,504. Almost there!

    Can the Bears offseason get any worse?

    There is no way Dawson deserves to have his number retired as a Cub. He is a borderline Hall of Famer who spent a majority of his career on other teams. If the Expos franchise still existed, I could live with them retiring his number, but as much as I liked him as a player he didn't do enough with the Cubs to deserve that honor. I'm happy that Dawson was elected to the Hall of Fame, but the team should reserve number retirements for only the all-time great Cubs.

    Only when a team is on the doorstep of making a World Series run. Backloaded contracts aren't good for a slightly above average team with significant amounts of bad money committed long term.

    This is an interesting question and I wonder if this type of thinking has played a part in this offseason's spending (or lack thereof). I would like to think that Ricketts has money to spend, but just doesn't feel comfortable allowing Hendry to spend it. If the Cubs stand pat this offseason, they haven't improved the team in the short term, but they will be one year closer to the end of some bad contracts without digging their hole any deeper. It is unfortunate that it has come to that, but it would hopefully give the next GM a little more flexibility to rebuild the team.

    After that, the only logical next step would be to bring Aaron Miles back in 2 years and award him the cherished # 21.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    One step forward, two steps back. Hey wait, isn't that backwards? If the Cubs release Silva, do they have to pay his entire remaining salary up front, or does it still get spread out over 2 years?
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    I'm all for it. Does anyone know whether there would be a significant revenue difference between a jumbotron or a fixed advertising board? I would guess

    They are still negotating the no trade clause.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    Come on umpires... Stop throwing fuel on the instant replay fire.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Lovie and company should be embarrassed. They were outcoached like no other. Why would Lovie be embarassed? He gets outcoached nearly every week.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Clark has to make that catch.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Run the ball, get the first down, then spike it to stop the clock. Easier said than done I know.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    yeah, he didn't think he could beat the safety, who was totally turned around on the play. he should have split that gap and taken it to the house. Maybe Hester was analyzing the amount of time left on the clock and realized that the Falcons would just drive right down the field again for the win.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Good defense and running... Bears blue collar football!
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Not really, but the defensive line isn't really capable of getting a pass rush without blitzing.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    At least now we're guaranteed to get the ball back.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Not since Marcus Robinson have the Bears had a good fade-catching receiver.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Ahem. That's 2 in a row.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Is that what the Bears worked on during their off week, the 12 man punt return? And why can't these guys hold onto the damn BALL?!?!?
