    But it's an empty threat and that only makes the person who makes it look bad. If he already discussed this privately and is now going public, that suggests that he may be losing the team. They're making themselves look bad. They don't need Sveum for that.

    I don't have a problem with what he said. I also don't think that he would seriously think about sending them down to Iowa even if that was his decision to make. He is trying to send a message to his young players and I am confident that he has already done so behind closed doors as well. The way this team is playing is an embarrassment to major league baseball. If Sveum decides to call them out in the media, then they need to deal with it.
  3. Old Style
    Agreed.

    So I guess no DRose even for the playoffs, huh? I've tried to not judge him for taking so long to come back but this is getting ridiculous.

    It may be, but it's OUR dump and that [expletive] Berkman should stuff his fat face with Twinkies instead of talking [expletive] about Wrigley. It like family. I can talk [expletive] about my family, but no one outside of the family can or we're going to have issues.

    Is that a fact that he won't play for less than $6MM.
  14. Old Style
    Sorry. I should have said no GOOD reason.

    I definitely agree that the season ticket holder designation should be something you can indicate on StubHub to give season ticket holders an advantage to sell tickets they can't use. But whether I'm selling tickets to a stranger or giving them to a family member there is no reason why they shouldn't be able to get in early with my tickets.
  16. Old Style
    Well, if they just let anybody who purchased on the secondary market use the VIP entrance, it's not very VIP, not that it matters all that much to me (Hell, I usually don't arrive til right before first pitch anyway). If you directly are giving the tickets to somebody you know, though, I think it's fair to expect the benefits to hold up. You're missing the point. If a SEASON TICKET is transferred, no matter how or to whom, the rights should be transferred with that ticket. I doubt most people care about getting in early anyway. It's more for the bleacher ticket holders.
  17. Old Style
    Either sold on Stub Hub or just transferred to someone you know. What's the difference? One of the (only) benefits of season tickets is the ability to get in early, which is huge for the bleachers. Why does it matter who is using the tickets especially when they don't even check who is using them if they have the hard tickets in hand? It just doesn't make any sense.
  18. Old Style
    I'm guessing because the vast majority of secondary market purchasers are getting PDFs nowadays, and they don't want them using the VIP gate. I'm also guessing that the season ticket holder style tickets only go to season ticket holders so they at least know that those tickets originated from a season ticket holder without having to dig any deeper (whereas PDFs could be secondary market or just a single game ticket purchased from the Cubs). I get that but how difficult would it be for a SEASON TICKET HOLDER designation to be on the PDF when transferred?
  19. Old Style
    There is a VIP gate? Can all season ticket holders use these, even 500 level? Yes. Last time I used it the gate was out behind RF but I'm not sure if it is still there.
  20. Old Style
    So if you electronically transfer your tickets to someone they lose the right to enter 5-10 minutes early through the VIP gate. But if you give them the hard tickets there will be no problems getting in early. What kind of moronic policy is this?

    SEC Network details are supposed to be announced tomorrow. It's expected to start August 2014 and the money should be ridiculous.
  22. Old Style
    So as it stands right now we need 4 points to clinch the conference and 9 points to clinch home ice throughout the playoffs with 7 games left to play?
  23. Old Style
    I've sold some games to friends/family. No luck other than that. Was not expecting to make money but was hoping not to lose a [expletive] ton.

    I think if they do it right, which I think they will, the Jumbotron will be a very nice addition.
