    Rahm wants to be able to brag about a situation he helped prolong and basically did nothing to help move along. He is the [expletive] worst.

    That was a sexy HR from an unsexy man.

    Holy [expletive], this is great.

    I know they're different players and this'll probably get destroyed, but Colvin looked pretty "good" in 420 AB in 2012.

    The Junior Lake seems like a real cool dude.

    Yes, I said I doubted that anyone who could afford to own one of those buildings would be willing to live there now as was the case with some of them in the past.

    Obviously, Rizzo's results were disappointing last year - especially in the last 3/4 or so of the season (which is the sample sneaky is talking about) - a lot of it luck based. He has made some adjustments and appears to be even better this year, so that's good. I get that, but just dropping "LOL Lake's been more valuable than Rizzo over period X" isn't necessarily a good thing. The main takeaway to me is that meant that a critical player had a down period. Which is great (and I'd be stunned if it lasted if he actually became a fulltime player), but it's still indicative of the Cubs being in a shitty position if he's a more valuable player than Rizzo. Rizzo NEEDS to be more valuable than Lake, or Lake being more valuable needs to mean that Lake is kicking ass and not simply being league average or above average.

    My hilarious bias against tinyface aside, Lake being more valuable than Rizzo over any kind of significant period simply isn't a good thing because it means that one of the players that they're obviously really, really, really, REALLY counting on as being one of their cornerstones really, really, REALLY underperformed to the point that hackmonster Junior Lake actually one-upped him. That's indicative of Rizzo being underwhelming at one point and the Cubs being worse off, not "yay, Junior Lake is actually an answer to the hideous question of the OF!"

    I think you are being a bit unrealistic in terms of what type of people can make a good amount of money. There are a lot of 26 year old single people willing to throw in a lot of money on rent to be right in the middle of where they like to drink the most. I wasn't talking about renters; I was talking about people buying to live there. Of course they'd find a herd of choades willing to rent in pack-squalor. Okay, but that's what the value of the place is. You aren't going to sell to families looking to stay there 20 years, but there will be an endless horde of renters available and that is where the value in the property lies. Yes, nobody was questioning the value of the property. But ugh, even just owning it as a landlord sounds awful; imagine the upkeep keeping the places livable after the types of animals that would willfully live there.

    That's not fun at all.

    That sounds nightmarish. I can't imagine that too many people who can actually afford to live in a building like that in that location would be down with the frat party atmosphere and the skyrocketing crime rate. Really? People loved living there in the late 90's early 00's before it went full on corporate bar atmosphere. The fact that the people who make the "frat party atmosphere" out there in the first place even exist should disprove any notion that that type of person does not exist. There are plenty of people who don't mind the hubbub outside their house, and can afford to live there. The area is infinitely worse even than it was just a decade ago. Both Wrigleyville and Boystown are imploding under this active "come here and party and who gives a [expletive] what happens, it's not your neighborhood" attitude the city and local business/government have been fostering and are desperate to maintain. Couple that with the crime spiraling out of control and the slashes police presence/spending in the area. I'll put it this way: if someone could afford to live in one of those buildings and DIDN'T inexplicably adore the almost 24/7 mess the place is now then they're an idiot and I am stunned they ever made that much money to begin with.

    I noticed it happening to the Blackhawks and I laughed and laaaaaughed and laaaaaaaaughed.

    Fortunately because Darwin is so tiny there's room to launch both out of the cannon at the same time, so Ricketts can keep his cannon costs down.

    I made some sick guac today, but now I'm sick and it feels like maybe I have MERS so kind of a wash.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    It's the Blackhawks' fault. As soon as they are eliminated they'll stop Dorian Gray-ing his power.
