    I doubt there is any way to get official numbers, but my anecdotal experience is that perhaps the season ticket holder churn isn't quite as high as we would expect it to be. I have had my Season Tickets for 10 or 11 years now and every year there is a "relocation event" where we can log in and change or upgrade our seats to any other available seats. I don't really have any intention of changing my seat location, but every time I check the options there are very few seats available anywhere. The Cubs are "supposed to" complete seat relocation for existing ticket holders before they offer seats to new people, but I question whether that is actually happening. Honestly though, I question a lot of things the Cubs do (or don't do) for their Season Ticket Holders. But just going by how many seats I see available for relocation, it doesn't appear there are many new seats available from year to year. I do think they have been allowing people to downgrade from full season to partial season packages in some instances, so maybe that is a big part of what has been happening rather than people dropping the tickets altogether.

    I assume this hypothetical family of four is parking in Evanston, sitting in the top row of the upper deck, and sharing a couple bottles of water with their hot dogs.

    The whole Bernstein/Barstool thing is stupid on both sides. I get a little bit of where Bernstein is coming from. It is somewhat odd to refer to someone by their last name in that context. Would the guy have referred to Laurence Holmes as Holmes or Dan Patrick as Patrick? At the same time, his last name is the title of the show and I didn't hear any malicious intent in the way it was used. Clearly there is more to this than just the last name thing, but Bernstein's reaction was way over the top. Instead of politely correcting the guy (if he really thought it needed it), he had to sit there and fume/pout on camera. Now you have Barstool (who I know absolutely nothing about) making a huge deal out of this because they didn't like the way a host reacted to their guy. This includes calling Bernstein a "woke lunatic" and suggesting their followers continue to harass him. Somehow I feel like if they were on the other side of this, they would be calling out the evils of cancel culture. Maybe this is all some WWE Attitude era style angle where Bernstein vs. Barstool draws huge ratings for both of them. Ok, we all know that isn't the case. It's just dumb.

    Eberflus has no issue with the challenges and says they have a "great system in place."

    Eh, I think he is doing exactly what he is instructed to do by tightly managing the conversation and putting a positive spin on everything. It doesn't make for an incredibly insightful postgame show, but I think that is by design.

    This official postgame show on Marquee is annoying. Cole Wright is good at what he does, but part of that is being an obvious shill for the teams he covers.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    At least the center is solid... Oh wait.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    Jenkins?
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    Man, Williams is wildly inaccurate.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    Gotta throw that away versus sliding for 2 yards.
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    The Bears are missing Keenan Allen? Can he block?
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    Pretty incredible performance by the defense, but equally as bad of a game by the offense.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    Do we have any offensive plays that aren't 2 yard passes or just floating jump balls to receivers?
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    NFL needs to move the goalposts back.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    D.J. kinda whiffed on that one.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Running the Craig Krenzel offense.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    These running plays are going nowhere.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Defense is really stepping up
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Am I the only one who is irrationally bothered by the way the middle of the "8" on Caleb Williams' jersey always goes under the fold in the pads and makes him look like number 10?
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Obviously not, but blocked is blocked. It's going to be hard for anyone to get consistent playing time when there is an established starter in front of them, which the Cubs have at essentially every position except Catcher. I'm not saying you deal everyone who is currently blocked, but the Cubs have to identify which ones they want to keep and which ones to move on from, and they need to do that soon.

    "If you're gonna miss something, miss a ball and call it a strike. Don't go the other way." - Rick Sutcliffe Uhhh... How is that any better?
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    You have to think the Cubs wouldn't mind a comparable return for one of their similarly blocked AAA players.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    PCA is definitely going to rub some teams the wrong way, but oh well. He is a fun player to watch.

    Michael Busch can't be looking forward to heading back to Wrigley tomorrow.
