  1. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-cubs-wgn-wbbm-radio-20140605,0,5683316.story Interesting...
  2. Plastic surgeon got over slot for that job.

  4. Outstanding.
  5. Ugh, I hate to have to side with Kaplan. Yeah... saw it pop up on Twitter and had to listen. Now I need to take a shower.
  6. I'm not a big fan of Kap and Haugh (as many of you already know), but this is hilarious. In what universe is Jay Williams not a bust?
  7. What does that even mean? I don't think that's a thing. It means he's average, but only when he's on the fringe. Always on the outer fringes of average -- sometimes slightly above averages, sometimes slightly below average -- but not in equal proportions such that his net ability is not simply average.
  8. It's not like the Cubs have let the inaccuracy of the song's other lyrics get in the way... About projecting supreme confidence in the cubs ability to win on that particular day and having the power and speed to be the best team in the national league? Not to mention that the correlation between speed and success has not been proven out. Maybe if they changed it to OBP or something. :)

  10. Who listens to AM radio anyway? 60 year olds? That is a large dedicated market. Baby boomers have all the money and that's why television ads are littered with catheter, scooter, reverse mortgage, pharmaceutical lawsuits, etc. 60 year olds... are baby boomers. That's the point. Referring to the station as a dinosaur and irrelevant ignores the fact that they are just giving their target audience what they want. They aren't going to lose the old people that listen everyday, and there's no point in spending huge on the Cubs to theoretically bring in a younger demographic that isn't going to listen to their crop reports. Yes, I agree with you. I had initially thought you were saying that radio was all 60 year olds and TV was all "baby boomers."

  12. @CrainsChicago: #Chicago @Cubs broadcasts leaving @WGNRadio for @WBBMNewsradio, @RobertFeder reports: http://www.robertfeder.com/2014/06/03/why-wgn-radio-lost-the-cubs/
  13. That was good even for you, Kyle.
  14. He's out as a precaution for some non-serious ab thing, per Muskat.
  15. Can someone remind me why Crane is so hated?
  16. Has there ever been a non-sarcastic hot take?
  17. "Any expansion of Wrigley Field approved by governmental authorities shall not be a violation of this Agreement, including this section." Hammer clause. If accurate, Ricketts could have just gotten city approval and told the rooftop association to [expletive] itself. Nice of him to at least try to bargain with them first. Yeah, I'm not a lawyer, but that seems to be pretty rock-solid. Were they just afraid of burning bridges with neighboring businesses and a strong(ish) alderman?

  19. Oh I know. I was just sayin'.
  20. Oooooooo, I didn't hear about Sammy attacking an employee. When was this? I mean, it's largely been swept under the rug, but Sammy did worse. ????? smashing a bottle of rum over his wife's head or whatever and threatening to kill her i should've said allegedly did though Yeah, it was a dismissed lawsuit. If the Cubs were worried about those (they probably shouldn't be), Castro would be kicked off the team.
  21. Sammy's punishment for leaving early was $87,400. Isn't that enough?
