If the difference is 10 titles to 5, I think south beach wins out.

Carlos Zambrano's brouhaha and apology
jersey cubs fan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Were there people thinking a longer term suspension was likely? -
Plus there's still a chance they can get a top five draft pick out of this season. Only 3.5 games seperate them.
-
The pbp and color guys for this tournament are light-years better than almost any baseball pbp and color guys No question. The studio analysis is meh though. I was referring to the studio guys.

You don't think he has a feel for the team, having spent several years with them already? I suppose he does. I don't know, I just want Lou gone and I don't buy this "Well, the season's gone anyway so you might as well let him finish it out" talk. It's the talk of someone who really doesn't give a damn. If he's not performing, can him and bring in someone else. Managers are replaceable. Let Trammel take over and see what he can get out of them. It'll help toward making a managerial decision for next year. What harm could come of it? Potential harm is that Trammel is saddled with the crappy 2010 Cubs, they continue to lose, he then doesn't get a real shot at the job for the future, opening up the risk of hiring a lesser candidate. I'm certainly not going to be upset if Lou gets canned, I just see very little upside. If Hendry is allowed to make the replacement, it will be a travesty. I'd hate to see them can Lou, then stick with Jim for the duration and cause me to worry about him coming back again next year. If they make a move, drop the bomb and kill them all.

i'm 90% sure he'll still be a cub. I'm betting he's a goner by the end of the season. How? He has a NTC. And he earns a million bazillion dollars. He's not going anywhere. Pure speculation on my part and I may be reading between the lines but it sounds like the whole organization is tired of his act. I am fully aware of the money involved and I'm also aware that he has a no trade clause. I am saying that despite that, I can see the club eating some salary, I can also see Zambrano waiving his NTC to play for his friend Ozzie. There are several scenarios that I hope to see happen. The Cubs seem willing to go into "fight back until he waives his NTC" mode. -
Should be a part of fan appreciation weekend, the last homestand when the announcers are just talking about all the cameramen and crap like that. Make a big to do about it.

b/c what does 3 months with crap team that doesn't care tell you about a manager? All it does is give the Sandberg-lovers some evidence that Trammel won't do any good as manager. I don't think managers are sacred cows by any stretch. But the manager isn't going to improve the team in any way (in chances of making the playoffs, or in player development). And if giving Trammel the reins now would improve his chances of getting the gig full time, I'd support it. I just don't think that's true. Right. Turning the team over to Trammel does nothing except all but ensure that Trammel will have nothing to do with the team next season. I can't stand Lou, but the time when firing him might have made any kind of an impact on the team has passed. If it still happens before the end of the season, hey, I'm not complaining...but if it doesn't, oh well. The only thing I really want to see is Hendry fired after this season limps to a close. I'm hoping that happens sometime in September. Just to get a head start on bringing in the new guy.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-28-10
jersey cubs fan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
In the last four games Vitters has a 1 AB game, a 2/4 game, a DNP and a 1 AB game. Is he nursing another injury, or in clear your head mode? -
A nominal increase over this year's.
-
Doesn't baseball do that already? I remember going to a Giants game a couple years ago and seeing a close play at first and I think the Giants fan I was with said they did something there. Not sure if it's done throughout baseball though. Most teams won't show a visitor team friendly replay on the jumbo.
-
So you want somebody else to manage Jim Hendry's team and maybe make it back to .500 by the end of the season? What is the point of this? Lou leaves a lot to be desired, but it's still Jim Hendry's Cubs once again proving mediocrity is sometimes an overly optimistic goal.
-
There's next to no downside to that happening. Once an older injury plagued player has a season like this in his 30's, there is absolutely no telling how quickly he can fall again.
-
After listening to soccer analysts more in the past three weeks than ever before in my life, I kind of feel bad about how much crap I give baseball analysts.

Re: NHL (Blackhawks included) offseason thread
jersey cubs fan replied to Prizefight's topic in Other Sports
he's not great but he's at least average. you can win a cup with an average goalie. you can't win one with michael leighton and brian boucher. If you can win 2 games in the finals with those guys you can win a stanley cup with those guys. -

fire and intensity baby, that's all you need
-
Everyone says it that way (including myself), but it's supposed to be "couldn't care less". If you could care less, that means that you do care a substantial amount but have the capability of caring less than you are currently. drives me nuts

they beat a bad team in 13 innings with that lineup, can't change it. A 2nd day off in a row after a cross-country flight with another day game isn't the worst thing, I guess. half the country
-
And those tweaks might not help. If the Cubs do not have a bounce back year very soon, they will see a hard drop in attendance. Season ticket list be damned. That thing started when the economy was rocking and the team was great (and tickets were cheaper). People who otherwise could not afford season tickets could get them with the expectations of financing their tickets through later sales. Or they put their name on the list knowing they would not have to pay for years. Without a quality team, those sales dry up, and people take baths. This is two years in a row of people bathing. There will easily be 15,000 attendance days if the team doesn't improve significantly in 2011.

How do these transfers and loans work out? If a player is under contrat to a team/league, and a bigger team wants him, do they have to convince the player to come there and the team to loan him? Where does free agency come into play? Is there ever any true "you can sign with whatever team you want" free agency?

Re: NHL (Blackhawks included) offseason thread
jersey cubs fan replied to Prizefight's topic in Other Sports
You didn't care about the Toews/Kane drafts? Not so much for Toews, but yeah I watched when they had the 1st pick. I'm just not one of those people who knows who all the prospects are and really cares what goes on after the first few picks. Same here, but the Blackhawks were making those first few picks, so I was interested. -
