That's a pitch D-Lee should crush. -
We try to be as witty and clever as you, but the bar is set pretty high. Yeah, I deserve that slam...it was presumptuous of me. I'm just saying... You'll find the game threads are highly over-reactionary. It's just the nature of the fan.

Truf, please tell me you think Soto can do better than Bowen? How can he not? Earlier in the thread the argument was being made that Soto was no better than Bowen. After one game? Sorry I missed that argument.

Good trade that was eh?

I love the Alien/DirectTV commercial.

I agree, though I don't mind the occasional former Cub singing it. I'd throw in the occasional local high school state champ teams. Not that they're good at it or anything, but just a nice perk for them. Then let em throw out the first pitch or something...

St Louis is losing to Philly 10-4 in the 6th.
-
Ugh...why do we have to see Bonds bat already? It's not like it's gonna be a record breaking homer even if he hits it....*sigh*
-
Fontenot isn't exactly tearing it up out there right now...let him play through it though Lou.
-
He raised his CORP (Clutchiness Over Replacement Player) by 2 points!
-
4 RBI's for A-Ram! Man this team is fun right now.
-
Well if he were to buy the Cubs, I'd expect him to miss some early season Cubs games and some early season Mavs games assuming both teams are in the playoffs.
-
Jones is your new regular CF...better get used to it.
-
Ok guys....I think the joke has run it's course...

I wonder what the vote would be without the bribery. -
He's never talked about baseball philosophy that I know of, so it's impossible to say.
-
I believe that they have to sign non-disclosure agreements as part of the application process. I'm not sure exactly what they are forbidden from disclosing (probably operating figures and the like), but I bet we don't hear a lot from Cuban during all of this. At least not till he feels like he's being screwed.

Forbes evaluation of team worth seems to be a little off when compared to these sale prices. (Braves and the potential Cubs sale) http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/04/17/06mlb_baseball_valuations_land.html Yeah I don't see the Braves being worth $400M when they were just bought for three times that. Those estimates all seem a little low, and I think the top end teams are, in some cases, worth considerably more than what they were appraised at. The Braves were sold for $1.2 billion? When did that happen? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2764181 I think that total is misleading because there were stock shares changing hands as well.... Yeah. I don't think the Braves were priced anywhere near that. From the article it looks like Liberty Media gave up $1.27 billion in Time Warner shares in return for Braves, some magazines, and 1 billion in cash. Did I misread that? That's what it looks like to me, so it looks like this was a stocks for Braves trade. Yeah...which makes gauging the price a little difficult.

Omaha group looking to submit bid to buy Cubs

They're already making the "Cuban" jokes though...huh huh...Cub...ban...Cuban...huh huh. -
This is the best I got: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_principal_owners EDIT: Wow! Steinbrenner paid only $8.7 million for the Yankees...nice return on investment! Thanks. So out of the crusty old owners, a dozen of them are new since 2000, and only 5(including the Tribune) have had their teams since the 80's. Of the owners that would vote no, you have to think that Reinsdorf would be leading the charge. Who else would say no? Honestly, I'd never heard of half of those owners... Who's this "Nintendo" person? :D
