  1. I think he mentioned he swapped out for a different location, but N&G's seats last year were pretty sweet. And reasonably priced.
  2. Living in St. Louis I can attest that Provel cheese tastes like garbage and BO. I can't even get my mind to fully grasp how bad Provel is. I try explaining it to people who haven't tried it, but I just don't have the words. Here's how I describe it to people: It's like Velveeta and ketchup on a saltine and a large that I can polish off about 2/3 of myself is $20.
  3. Wainwright had a similar situation when he was with Atlanta. I don't know why these guys choose to try to rehab instead of just getting the fix done to get it over with. You're going to end up having the surgery eventually anyway, might as well get it out of the way.
  4. That should get reversed.
  5. No, he's drawn the perfect team to play in this game. And how the hell is the crowd this loud?
  6. Is anybody else getting really bad delays like the refresh rate on your TV is slow?
  7. My brain has trouble separating Maples, Underwood and Blackburn for some reason. I can't keep the 3 of them straight. I voted for Hendricks.
  8. They'll be lucky to shoot 42% on layups.
  9. Is Sanchez the guy who was good with SF for a while and then bombed with the Royals last year?
  10. I think the conference is a lot deeper than anticipated, even with UI being bad. The middle is a lot better than I expected. Michigan will only get better once the get the big guy back and MSU has played really well without Payne in the lineup.
  11. He opted out after 7 years of the original 10 year deal with the Rangers, but I'm not sure if he ever got to actual free agency in terms of timing of when the deal was signed. He certainly could have signed with anyone that off season though.
  12. As much as I hate using a ST performance to evaluate a guy, in this case if he's hitting, he can see the ball and has answered the biggest question hanging over him. There's nobody of importance he'd be taking PT away from, so if he can see and he hits in ST, I have no issue with him breaking camp with the ML team to see what he's got.
  13. I think this is something people tend to forget about Wells. He really didn't ever have the same life/sink on his pitches after that seemingly minor injury and was just bad after that happened.
  14. Man, I don't see how the Cubs could possibly lose this, especially with the specific use of the word "expand" used in the city's approval of the project. I just hope it's dealt with quickly so they can get on with it.
  15. Um, it doesn't work like that and you know it. Tanaka's value was greatly influenced by the fact the he only cost money, he's 25, and had ridiculous numbers in Japan that people "think" will translate very well to MLB. His price tag will have little to no influence on what guys with actual ML track records get paid.
  16. Nah, too coherent and not angry enough.
  17. Who said anything about them being able to block the rooftops without getting sued? at this point, with an impending TV deal, I think the Cubs are gearing up for a war of attrition with these guys. The Cubs will win eventually. If there's really a big tv deal coming, then that's fine, but if there's not, I don't want to think about what a war of attrition would mean for being good at some point.
  18. Based on what it sounds like the Cubs are claiming, there was no need for obstructed/unobstructed view language in the 17% agreement because it was provided by the landmark status. When that was removed, away went the unobstructed view language, at least according to the Cubs. I really hope that's true and they aren't completely screwed here.
  19. Helluva game going on between MSU and Michigan.
  20. Ugh. I just looked at the rest of Illinois' schedule. They're going to be lucky to get to 5 B1G wins.
  21. I think people are severely underestimating Hendricks at this point. He's been getting guys out for a while now with very few high end tools, but he clearly has something that works and I think he's much more likely to contribute to the ML team, and sooner, than a lot of the guys we're talking about at this point. I take him as a much more sure thing than Olt for sure at this point.
  22. I'm pretty sure we can sign as many as we want for less than $250K up to the spending cap.
  23. Rice isn't a feature guard in the big ten, it's not that he's hurt, he's just not fast. No, he's not, but he's lost a lot of his explosiveness he had early in the season and he can't get to the basket at all now.
  24. Someone please explain to me why Ray Rice was on the floor as much as he was tonight when he's clearly not healthy, has no explosiveness, and can't make a jumper while Kendrick Nunn rots on the bench most of the game and does mostly good things while he's in there. Rice needs to sit for a couple weeks and get healthy, he's clearly not the same guy now that he was early in the year and it's killing them.
  25. Then you have serious issues and should seek help immediately. Nah, that's probably a lot more tolerant than I am of the population in general.
