  1. I don't want this to ever end. Man, this is fu-diddly-un.
  2. I've seen Sarah Spain refer to him as Schwabe Ruth on Twitter a bunch.
  3. Boomer Esiason tweeted something about how not paying someone money you owe them is going to get you punched in the face. I guess he knows what really happened.
  4. Castro taking grounders at 2B per the Twitters.
  5. You probably should just go ahead and admit defeat on that one. Based on all of the verified accounts of his "partying" over the years and life of entitlement, there's a FAR better chance that something happened than not. Still probably a pretty slim chance he faces a complete career-killing punishment over it due to his built-in advantages ($$$, fancy lawyers, the overall worldwide rape culture, likely lack of 100% damning evidence, etc...), but in everyone's heart of hearts, they know something shady happened and that it's probably closer to the worst case scenario than the best case scenario. Maybe I'm just ignorant on his "partying" habits but just because someone likes to get hammered all the time & bang tons of chicks doesn't make them a rapist. And if those rumors are true I feel bad for Kaner. But in the end he put himself in the position for this to happen.
  6. I think your title is missing a question mark.
  7. So the Giants lose a timeout now since they lost the challenge, right?

  9. Uh oh
  10. ESPN pre-season poll is out, for what it's worth. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/13369291/maryland-terrapins-north-carolina-tar-heels-lead-no-longer-way-too-early-top-25 Maryland is #1.
  11. That wasn't my original intention when I signed up on the waiting list. I figured my name would get called maybe when I was closer to retirement. My number was called a good 15-20 years before I expected. With the wait list as huge as it was a few years ago and the promise of a very bright future I opted to get the tickets mainly so if/when the Cubs make the World Series I can attend the games. I would never be able to afford the astronomical scalper prices WS tickets would surely command. I expected short term losses and hoped for little more than break even on good years. Any profit from playoff seasons would be a little bonus. I never expected to get rich off this.
  12. I've been disappointed with tickets sales so far this season. Of course the monster chunk StubHub takes out of every sale doesn't help matters much. It amazes mw how much more Saturday tickets sell for than Sunday against the same opponent. It's not uncommon for the one day differential to cause a 50% drop in prices. Hopefully we can make it to the playoffs. Maybe then we can make up for some of these losses. Being across the country, I probably won't make a trip back to Wrigley until the World Series whereas I assume many of you will use playoff tickets yourselves.
  13. SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD :banghead:
  14. Has this been posted yet? http://i60.tinypic.com/aui934.jpg
  15. Heard a rumor that Patrick Sharp will be traded. Supposedly he's been going five hole on Duncan Keith's wife.
