Cubs Tickets on Sale Today! (Success and Failure Thread)
jersey cubs fan replied to hawkcub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
easiest purchasing process I've had in years. -
I might believe that he's not thinking about it. In the long run it's only a small portion of his potential career earnings. He's already going to have made more than double that amount in his career before a decision is made on the option. Unless he's blown what he's made so far, and is so in debt that this year's salary can only get him back above water, there's really no reason to think about the option much. If he just plays baseball he's going to make many times that one year's salary.

This game is getting ugly.

I disagree. Hockey is clearly in third place for sports I enjoy watching, behind football (college or pro) and Cubs baseball. I've probably watched more hours of golf in the past 10 years than hockey. I was barely into it at all as a kid, and my interest was peaked from the early-to-mid-90's, but for over a decade I barely paid attention to it at all. I love the Blackhawks, but their prolonged suckiness really put my interest on the back burner, so I wouldn't say I love hockey. It's quite possible to be a half-assed fan of the sport, especially if you are in a city that doesn't have a team.

The easy thing is to go to a game, it's incredible. But if you can watch poker for longer than hockey, then maybe you are beyond help.

Kane line looking good, finally score

What are they going to do? People are gonna heckle him. Yeah, they'll get ejected, but heckling is gonna happen. And it only takes one well-timed heckle to make it over the airwaves. Sure they won't allow people to chant "whore monger" like they chant "steroids" at a baseball game, but you can easily get away with being a little cruel. And people definitely will.

Ted Lilly headed Doctor for a sore knee
jersey cubs fan replied to Prizefight's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So just because his knee hurts he goes out and headbutts a doctor. -
Then maybe you need to expand your sports watching, because that's pathetic. They lost in the first round against an aging team that lost in the 2nd round. All in all a mediocre result, at best. There's nothing pathetic about it. I'll have more vivid images from that series 20 years from now than I will from anything the Bears did in the playoffs in 2006 save Hester's KO return. That's absolutely ridiculous. You aren't a Bears fan then if you will have more vivid images of a first round playoff loss to a fading team than of a top seeded Bears team going to the Super Bowl.

Cubs Top 10 Going into Next Season
jersey cubs fan replied to THISisTHEyear09's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Sure. Perhaps every .734-OPS high-errors singles hitter generates as much excitement as Castro. My subjective impression is that the expectations and projections seem a little beyond what is normally expected for a high-errors .734-OPS singles hitter, even a young one. So I think scouting evaluations are making a significant impact on his reputation beyond just the existing statistical record. So the 743 OPS in AA at age 19 with a near 1:1 K:BB ratio isn't behind the excitement, it's just scouting evaluations that say he might be good one day? -
They'll still be talking about getting in the hole.

Isn't that more like NBA purgatory rather than hell? NBA hell should be what the Bulls and Knicks have been for the past decade.

Need has nothing to do with it.

Salmons and Tyrus aren't garbage players, but if they're really good enough to carry Milwaukee and Charlotte over us then we weren't deserving of a playoff bid to begin with. Why would a Bulls fan care about the playoffs? This is not some organization that hasn't seen the postseason in 20 years and should be happy with making an appearance. Shouldn't the preference be to do whatever possible to move from a bottom seed type team at best to an actual contender that could win more than 3 playoff games? It's not like making the playoffs in the NBA is an accomplishment. And it's not like "anything can happen".

He's probably lost some people forever, but if he returns to dominate he will be more or less where he was before in terms of awe of his ability and earning power.

Seriously? I never read a word suggesting that to be the case. I can't imagine they can make his fingers temporarily useful, for a couple years, before taking them off post career.

Cubs Top 10 Going into Next Season
jersey cubs fan replied to THISisTHEyear09's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Isn't it mostly about the fact that he's done well playing at high levels for his age? That's certainly part of it but but lots of players perform well early but are never able to build on that success. Dopirak for example was seen as a guy that may have trouble adjusting as he climbed the ladder and that turned out to be true. With Castro he has skills that could still be developed. That's the complete opposite of what I said. He's done well at advanced levels for his age. Dopirak was mediocre in short season and low A ball at 19, Castro was successful in high A and AA at 19. It's not at all the same thing. -
He makes his money based off his image. He doesn't need to do anything. But if he wants to continue the life of a professional golfer with tens of millions of dollars a year in non-golf tournament winnings, he should strongly consider doing something.

I don't quite understand why the hearings have to be in Florida. Since they are planning these for late February, when players are arriving at spring training, doesn't it make much more sense to have hearings in Florida and Arizona?

A few of those guys have minor league deals, which I think gives guys like Fuld the inside track, since he's out of options, correct? Tracy can be saved in AAA as Ramirez insurance and unless he has release clause in his contract, he should be kept there for as long as necessary. The rest of that group is fairly useless.
