This is what I think as well. I don't think the ad cost the Cubs any money, but if it did I'm not upset with the Cubs. I'd be upset with Rahm. The ad sure didn't help, but I just don't see a scenario where Rahm could have effectively given the Cubs $150 million dollars (regardless of the exact details, that's how it would have been spun) and it wouldn't have blown up in his face. The timing just wasn't right.

Such as?
-
I really think the Joe Ricketts stuff was ultimately just an out for Rahm to make a big stink and make it easier for him to refuse the Cubs on any public funding requests. With the current economic status of the city there was basically no way they could sell giving the Cubs a ton of money without too many people getting pissed off.

I sure as hell wouldn't need an historically comical overpay to part ways with Castro. Alright, let's hear this.

If Baez works out then you move one of them to 2B or 3B.
-
That might be the most ridiculous bit of bull [expletive] ever posted here. Which is oddly impressive.

I did because of the A's in 2002.

I'll bet they're writing it off.

You can display a LOT of ads and signs in 3+ hours. And those ads are limited to the 30,000 sets of eyeballs in the stadium. Are they more valuable than the fixed ads attached to the jumbotron that are seen by all in attendance plus every viewer on television, including highlights and still photos? Of course not.

I think the "sour" part is more suggested than being a necessity.

Very cool win and I love the Heat being pissed, but man, I wish LeBron had cold-cocked that idiot.
-
Why? Because he's Soul.

Well, yeah, I know scoreboards/JumboTron's as big or bigger than the proposed sizse exist; the point is that a JumboTron the size of the scoreboard at Wrigley would look really weird vs. stadiums that were built to have such things. I am in no way opposed to one at all; the size just doesn't seem very practical.
-
Wait, what? They wanted a JumboTron bigger than the scoreboard? That seems...excessive. Is this like negotiating for a new salary, where you ask for a number higher than what you'd really be fine with?

Linguo was apparently from the [expletive] 12th season, when they crossed the line to having more bad episodes than good a season.
-
Maybe just a 5-year-deal? I can't imagine WGN is any hurry to lose them and might just be desperate enough to agree to such a thing.
-
Why? It's not like increasing your number of wins automatically projects to continued improvement, especially if you have them "selling-off at the deadline."
-
No, it would still suck.
-
No.
-
FWIW, those Davenport projections have the Astros winning 73 games... so.... bahahaha... yea. *Stares wearily at season ticket box* It's an investment, it's an investment, it's an investment....

REACH FOR THE STARS. Blech.

Cubs having trouble selling Opening Day tickets
Sammy Sofa replied to Hairyducked Idiot's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The last game I actually went to was Opening Day 2010. Time for my epic return. -
Because I bring more relevant baseball content to this site in a day than you do in a year. We can't all be comic relief. Only bc good posters sometimes respond to you STOP TALKING TO HIM.

Why do you keep engaging him?
