    I just never thought there was a realistic chance they would get him. They could, sure, but they weren't going to.

    The Cubs have probably won the amount of games they "should" have, based on how they have played.

    I think you have to wait for his numbers to start looking a lot more impressive, and then think long and hard about what you are going to do at 1B next year. The Cubs were never going to get Pujols, and the likelihood probably went down with the injury. But they need a 1B next year, regardless. If you are just going to get another fringe prospect, there's really no point.

    The Bronson Pinchot one is good.

    No, they need a sweep. If they tie the team that holds it retains it.

    I love how people defend Hendry by pointing out players that he acquired that don't completely suck. I mean the team is 30-44, 7 games back of the freaking 4th place Pirates, but their new first baseman has 14 HR (and a 790 OPS). How dare you people complain about Hendry.

    The footprint is entirely adequate when you consider the underutilized corners, the implementation of more efficient internal layouts and the potential for a basement level from foul pole to foul pole, as well as facilities under the playing field. If they can do the basement and facilities under the playing field, it would be enough... But my question is though, weren't they concerned with the water table there? Like they wouldn't be able to build anything underneath cuz the water table is too high there? I thought I remember something about that... Water tables were an issue, and I don't think they will end up being able to do much under the playing field. But they don't need it.

    That's good

    I rarely watch non-Bears primetime games, with the exception of Thanksgiving, opening night and playoff games. I will watch most Sunday games, or parts of them.

    Don Banks wrote that the Thursday night story might be wrong, and that Goodell and others said it hadn't been discussed recently.

    Maybe a little of both. They were a middling team for two decades and seemed happy to finish 3rd with a $30-$40m payroll.

    Why not? Once you get the free stadium, why would you continue to pretend to try? Well, it's worked wonders for Philly. The Pittsburgh model is to wait 2-3 years before stopping to pretend. Did you dictate this post to hardcore? Is it that incomprehensible? Philly pretended to try when the stadium was coming and that actually led to being really good for a long time. Pittsburgh pretended for a couple years then dumped everybody.

    I think people underestimate the opportunity for increased square footage both at the corner of Addison/Sheffield and where the triange building would be. There is no reason that building can't be attached to Wrigley's grandstand, either by a couple above ground walkways, or a full-on enclosed structure.

    Except you didn't come across as agreeing with anything with how you responded. Yeah, it's semantics, but you obviously posed your response as a rebuttal instead of any kind of agreement or added concern. If you can't tell the difference, fine, I understand. Even if you thought I was only disagreeing there was no reason to be an [expletive] in your response.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Of course it's not the only reason, but it's a perfectly legitimate reason to want it done now. The only rational decision was to do it a long time ago.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    For the record, you pointed out it wouldn't save this season. I agree, but noted that it would have the benefit of moving in the right direction sooner, and also pointed out the concern that he won't be fired at all.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    What the hell are you talking about? I was perfectly civil in my response and you went nuts. There are many reasons to want Hendry gone right now. I was pointing one out. If it was clear he was gone at the end of the season there would be much less reason for concern. But there are significant indications he will stay, so the sooner the better to keep that from happening.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Yes, but the problem with the article and the meatball-thinking it's parroting is that firing the FO would have saved this season or might even turn it around. Firing Hendry and Co. IS the right thing to do...but no way in hell would it shut up the meatballs this year (NO, THIS ISN'T AN ARGUMENT TO KEEP HENDRY). But firing him now would start the rehab project sooner and more importantly eliminate the very real possibility that Hendry won't be fired at all. Jesus [expletive] Christ; are you [expletive] blind? Did I need to blow the final part up into gigantic neon letters? Are you illiterate? I never accused you of arguing to keep Hendry. But there is a very real chance that Hendry won't be fired at all after this season, so one of the reasons for wanting it done ASAP is making sure it gets done at all.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    I completely disagree. He should have had a pretty good assessment of the organization before the sale was completed, and at most the "reasonable" amount of time ran out after last season. He shouldn't need multiple seasons to assess a failing organization.

    I can't believe Billy Beane directed a movie.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Are you kidding me? He gets credit for the Cubs having needs?
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Yes. Agreed, volatile production is in no way shape or form inherently a bad thing. If he had an 800 OPS in his good years and a 600 OPS in his bad years, that could be bad. But his bad is not that bad at all. And his good is great.
