    2016 will be the best season of your lifetime for historical significance alone. But without the pressure of finally getting to see a WS champ, and knowing we've got a great front office and a great core of young, fun players locked up for years to come, I'm super excited. Probably going back to spring training for the first time in a few years and going to find a way to see the Cubs on the west coast this season too. Let's get the season started already so we can kick some more ass.

    I generally don't like going back and mocking people for expressing opinions that turn out to be wrong 5 years later. then again, someone wanted to sign Fielder, which is pretty hilarious. Oh and apparently tree has always been the smartest poster at nsbb. huh.

    The blatant bigotry from hccf and yeti was a black eye during some dark times

    um, iowa city is pretty awesome

    Did you have the right to go to those games? The Cubs would disagree. oh sweet jesus you just may not be mentally prepared for season tickets
  6. Tracer Bullet
    Don't agree at all. 2013-14 sucked. Those of us that had them those years did so for the payoff of having them when they were good. It was money lit on fire. This mentality is so stupid. No one who purchased season tickets lost money. You bought tickets and had the right to go to those games. If you didn't think the cost was worth it to attend 81 games of horsefeathers baseball, you didn't have to buy the tickets. But you did because you expected the Cubs to be good and you wanted to sell those tickets for a profit. You're now getting to do that and will continue to do that. Thinking you incurred losses because you knowingly bought tickets for a crap team is just dumb. Not profiting as much as you want isn't a loss.

    Be careful how you answer, Bruno. If you say you were allowed to renew, he's gonna call his rep and throw your ass under the bus to save his own. what am i missing? why are we assuming this guy is some terrible person? you guys were right. i was wrong. i will never again assume anything but the worst in people.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. Season ticket holders guarantee the Cubs 25,000+ sold tickets before Opening Day to every game of the regular season. Sure, maybe this year it's a luxury for the Cubs to have season ticket holders. But that's not the norm. Go back to 2014 when the Cubs' attendance was like 26,000 some games. Those were all season ticket holders, bud. When was the last time there wasn't a wait list? I joined it in the 2000s and it took me nearly a decade to come up. Your position as a STH is of no value to the Cubs. Demand outpaces supply by a factor of 10 or more. You're understandably bitter but you're also being irrational. And I'm not your horsefeathering bud.

    I am not tied to a ticket selling company in any way, shape, or form. Nor did I buy any group tickets. I did buy some flex pax which were offered to season ticket holders. Notice what that rep implicitly admitted to you: They are investigating season ticket holders. This is very different from someone coming to them independently to complain about a ticket broker. So they basically told you that they are vetting the purchasing history of even the people who spend thousands of dollars per year funding their organization before the first pitch is thrown -- even if it's you just buying flex pax that they offer to all season ticket holders and the general public. Talk about biting that hand that feeds them. Don't believe what the rep is telling you. They can cancel your season tickets if they want to. They're doing it now that the waiting list is back up to 100,000. STH don't feed the Cubs. They'd have no trouble filling the stadium even if there were no STH, especially now. So bummer that you lost your tickets, but you weren't actually using them anyway, so no big loss to you.
  10. Tracer Bullet
    good.
  11. Tracer Bullet
    I don't know. There's an incredibly long line of people that want season tickets. If the Cubs would prefer that most of their STH actually attend most of their games, then it would make sense to boot people who have sold a bunch of their tickets. I can see them being patient during down years and then deciding that if you're not willing to go to most games when the team wins the world series then you're gone. And of course: "Nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to, or shall, limit in any way Club's sole and absolute discretion as to whether to offer any future Tickets to the Ticket Account and any individual affiliated with the Ticket Account." They can kick your ass out at any time for any reason.

    I had to give up my slot when my number came up b/c I couldn't use them, and I haven't read the STH agreement, but I'd be shocked if it didn't include a great deal of flexibility for the Cubs to terminate. And nothing against evanstonian or anyone else that has season tix, but I have no problem with a team kicking out STH who sell a lot of their game tickets.
  13. Tracer Bullet
    Some really intriguing options here.
  14. Tracer Bullet
    This is similar to me. Attended probably 8 games. How many seats did you have? And I assume you were allowed to renew? Be careful how you answer, Bruno. If you say you were allowed to renew, he's gonna call his rep and throw your ass under the bus to save his own. what am i missing? why are we assuming this guy is some terrible person?
  15. Tracer Bullet
    Thanks for taking a sweet deal and helping us win a WS Dex. Glad you got paid. Glad you had enough fun in 2016 to last 5 years bc there ain't much laughing in st louis

    The chance that Rodon is just no good, and at least one of Gilotio, Lopez, or Kopech are injured is so high that i'm just planning to delight in their fans' tears. I mean, did we not just go through with this with the Mets? and were we all not here in 2004 and the years that followed?
  17. Tracer Bullet
    really not thrilled adding a guy with his injury history for 1 season. But whatever.
  18. Tracer Bullet
    we are the whitest team in baseball (probably not true)
  19. Tracer Bullet
    You shut your mouth. Go sing 12 Go Cubs Gos and take a dump on Dusty's spot in the dugout.
  20. Tracer Bullet
    i'm SHOCKED that one of the attackers was Odor's brother
  21. Tracer Bullet
    yep They let that guy around children. think you're confusing him with keener
  22. Tracer Bullet
    let me think. every one of his posts was about tvs or feet
  23. Tracer Bullet
    Wasn't that Deuce Base? Or Deuce Baseman? yep
  24. Tracer Bullet
    MurtonFan! What ever happened to him? Did he give up fighting the "good" fight to prove that the Beatles were overrated? Was he also littlelordfontenot? nope that's west side rooter. i don't remember what his name was before that
  25. Tracer Bullet
