  1. Hmm... thought he started his sophomore year at Florida. I stand corrected then. Still scares me to draft Turbisky although I do like his tools/skill set. Newton is literally the only example of this working out. I had a list of the 4 QBs who have gone to the NFL with < 15 starts and the other 3 were busts.....though I can't remember who they were. Ryan Tannehill only started 1 year at QB at A&M (played WR at first just to get him on the field) but his NFL career is still TBD. He could be a successful QB or flame out in the next year or two.
  2. Cam Newton immediately came to mind.
  3. Skip turned into an unfortunate joke a few decades ago. How he still gets a paycheck is beyond me.
  4. Don't care, won World Series.
  5. I hope Maddon overused him so much that his arm falls off this season.
  6. I don't think this thread turned out the way OP expected.
  7. This is part of the response I got when I emailed my rep this morning after reading this thread.
  8. No. The Cubs specifically told me it was because I was selling too many on Stubhub. They can track the sales data on Stubhub since they have a partnership with Stubhub. Well then I'm fucked. I live in Texas so pretty much all I use myself are WS tickets save for a one off game here or there if I happen to be in town.
  9. I love this deal. :clapping:
  10. My tickets sold for almost exactly what they will cost in 2017, so almost 20% over face. I have the nights & weekends package in the bleachers.
  11. Certainly didn't happen in the bleachers.
  12. Trade Miggy to the Rays?
  13. So I got the gray locker room shirt the other day and washed it over the weekend so I could finally wear it. After one wash the graphics are extremely faded and the gold from CHAMPIONS is almost completely gone. I am horsefeathering pissed. Need to call MLB Shop today and see about getting a replacement.
  14. I ordered 6 shirts and a magnet the day after Game 7. Yesterday I received my first shirt.
  15. For anyone who is interested, you can also order an 11x14 photo of the SI cover HERE, although I would strongly suggest buying it unframed and then framing it yourself. A $60 surcharge is a little crazy for a $20 frame. Here is a bundle with that cover plus 4 alternate covers. https://backissues.si.com/storefront/2016/chicago-cubs-championship-cover-bundle/prodSPR2016WSCHAMPSET.html
  16. My friend works for some fancy furniture company in California. He said that the Cubs have requested mock ups for some new clubhouse furniture. Maybe the old stuff took to much of a beating what with all the celebrations in there this past month or so.
  17. Because, like, half a dozen people said something along those lines, yet he falls back on the lazy "horsefeathers you, liberal Hollywood" bogeyman. I'm not saying he's explicitly doing what was described, but it's usually the type of ranting that shows someone to be a real dimwit. I mean, it's completely self-defeating; typically it's someone who thinks "ugh, why can't celebrities shut about politics," nevermind that his forum and his statement makes him the thing he's complaining about. Fair enough.
  18. who are all these hollywood celebs? I've heard a handful of 'em joke about it. This "hollywood celebs" thing is a story as old as time with the right wingers. They want to deny people rights and claim it's only rich actors in mansions. There are working people who are gay/minority/etc who are justifiably scared. Why does that amuse you? Dan Bernstein was just talking about this, with all this "Hollywood bashing" is old code for jews, blacks,homosexuals and other minorities to get out. It's sad when common folk lash on to it without knowing exactly what they are saying. He basically said Jake probably is just a dumb Texan and didn't really mean it like that. There were a whole host of celebrities who publicly said they would move out of the country if Trump was elected. How then is it "old code for jews, blacks,homosexuals and other minorities to get out" if someone calls them on their words?
  19. I keep seeing this storyline from bitter fans of other teams that Theo isn't a baseball genius because anyone can win with an unlimited budget. When has he had an unlimited budget in Chicago?
  20. Well at least he got to see the Cubs win the World Series before he died.
  21. You are a weird individual and should be heavily mocked.
  22. Wrigleyville Sports has the fitted locker room hat back in stock now on their website.
  23. Anyone know on what page I can find the 8th inning? I'd like to go back and read from there to the end of the game.
  24. I hope that was a rehearsal. There's literally no one in the stands.
