    Wow; the half hour apart double post. I thought I had a stroke there for a second.

    WHERE THERE'S SMOKE THERE IS ALSO FIRE.

    It's so ironic that Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gherig's Disease.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    The difference between Gehrig and Pujols is not as great as you think.

    Wouldn't having the second team make it an easier sell to the providers? Or do the Cubs have enough cache on their own to get big checks from the DirecTV's and Dish Networks right off the bat? I honestly don't know much about this. I'm just spitballing, Mojo style. Same here. And I'm not saying the Cubs wouldn't necessarily not want another team on the network with them; I'm thinking the other major Chicago teams probably wouldn't want join in for such a start-up with WGN and Comcast more "open" in the Cubs' wake.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Well, with the Cubs moving from WGN and Comcast I think you'd potentially have the other teams in town (obviously besides the Bears) wanted to look to fill that void as opposed to playing second banana on a start-up network.

    The game through Marlon Byrd's eyes would be terrifying.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Wow, that makes all kinds of sense. Wait, no; reverse that.

    When does the current TV deal run out? Not sure (for some reason I'm thinking 2015 or 2016), but this article from 2009 does a good job of describing how the Cubs' have been getting the shaft when it comes to televising their games: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=38307405 What a mess.

    Tons of room in straightaway LF though. Surely why that location was chosen for the Toyota sign. Put a video board there with a Toyota logo on the top. They need to get some of that mad phat Coke money like Boston did and SF is.

    Basically what I'm saying is is that I heart Matt Kemp.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I'd probably do Bumgarner, too. Maybe Upton. If Kemp even comes close to replicating his 2011 next year I'd consider him, too (if there wasn't such a good a chance he'd be a FA). If he does come close, he'll be looking at Yankee money. And I really hope the Cubs are the ones shelling out.

You'd trade Starlin Castro straight up for Matt Kemp? If he had a similar 2012 to 2011 and wasn't likely to be a FA, yeah. Dude was a 9 WAR player this season.

    RIP CHOCO MILK.

    you'd still need a home plate umpire to call safe and out at home and to call catcher's interference and whether the batter got hit by a pitch and stuff like that. there's no reason you couldn't just put a thing in his ear and let him signal balls and strikes anyway. Then bring on our robot overlords.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    The only one I recall being confused is you. Yes, hence why I said "confusion." But I wasn't. As I've now stated multiple times. Clear what up? I've pointed out where I was mistaken about the figures and stated I was wrong. You're now just flailing trying to prolong something that isn't happening anymore and making up arguments that don't exist.

    I don't think people remember the Jim Hendry all that accurately. If you don't think the problem with Hendry was that he overpaid for players based on past performance rather than future value, then I don't think you really understand the problem with the Jim Hendry era. When did Hendry ever "trade the farm" for that type of player? The Pierre trade is pretty much the only big bad one he had.

    WILL-I-AM HOLOGRAMS.

    Totally superficial, but it would kinda suck to lose that split second of waiting for the ump's response and then reacting to it. We'd all get used to reacting to a light or a buzzer or however the hell they'd signify the calls, but that's probably the one part I'd miss most.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    No, dave, I didn't. I clearly asserted that under the mistaken idea that the total revenues were around $24 million (remember the whole "floor" confusion?) and then guessing that expenses would be somewhere around $9-10 million. Nobody was arguing that the Cardinals were breaking even or running at a loss.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Blah, what a crappy view behind Wrigley. Really wish they could have built a new stadium where Cabrini is (was) so they'd have the skyline rocking things.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I feel the urge to bow down and worship before that.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    You may not have intended to argue that, but you absolutely were. Holy God, what? This is nuts, even for you.
