A Cubs HOF has been specified by TPTB since the first mentions of a "triangle building" back in 2001. They can't need more than 10' x 10' room to house a Cubs HOF.

Ben Sheets (Was Sheets Signs with A's)
jersey cubs fan replied to Post Count Padder's topic in General Baseball Talk
No team is set with a guy coming off surgery who is going to miss at least the first month of the season. And it remains to be seen if they are set with Randy Wells. He also lists 2 terrible pitchers and an inconsistent one battling for the 5th spot. A quality starter would not be an extravagance. This team wasn't good enough to win last year with Rich Harden on the team, now they have lost him, and added Carlos Freaking Silva, which means they are that much worse. -
Wade Phillips got a three year extension.

2010 Uniform Numbers (Updated; see last post)

I think lots of people make that connection, nostalgic Yankees fans much moreso than most. -
How many people drive to the bars in the area? I doubt they want to promote more driving to bars.
-
Lou is selective when it comes to hating guys who walk too many hitters, he didn't notice it with Grabow or Heilman, so I doubt he'll care about another veteran acquisition.
-
He's been touted by some as the guy who coaxed one great year out of Anderson in Cleveland.

I think it was something like they were hoping that doing nothing would work, and when it didn't, they cut him.

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/insider/news/story?id=4841297 Since Bears fans don't have much to care about for this year's draft, here are names that Kiper is highlighting for 2011.

I'm guessing it would eliminate the current ramps and involve pathways to and from the triangle building That drawing has room for 5 levels of parking, which would mean 5 times as much parking, as well as use of the footprint of the current building (that building is still there, right?). That's still not enough for general public parking, but would put a dent in the season ticket holders.

That's fine if you disagree, just realize you are wrong.

short for Chandler

Disagree. The style of play requires fielding a no weak link defense and a top not RB, and both of those things are very cap unfriendly. Defense requires crazy guys going 100% and throwing their bodies around. That leads to injuries and it leads to guys deteriorating quickly. QBs are protected. They get hit, but the great ones have very long careers that produce sustained success. RB's come and go, defenses are expensive to maintain, both of those things lead to cap problems that a franchise QB does not. It is precisely that mentality that leads to cap problems that you blame for the Titans decline.
-
That doesn't really compare to the stretch of success that Indy, New England and Philly, and it helps that Tennessee had a pro bowl caliber QB on the roster.
-
I think there's two things. As you say, it has to be an elite defense, not just very good, but also, it's no way to win consistently. You can put together a great year, maybe two, with a defense and run the ball mentality, but that's about it. This is what I was most annoyed with Urlacher's statements earlier this year. He laments that they aren't a run the ball and win with defense team anymore, saying that it worked with Orton. The problem, of course, is it didn't work with Orton and they are no longer a very good defense, let alone elite. That was about a 1.5 year window closed abrubtly.
-
You mean like where it is, or what it would look like when done? Both, so thanks for the drawing and link. That thing looks amazing. I think if done right it could be a great addition. If it's just a bland parking garage with a couple concession stands, it will be lame. But that's all wasted real estate right now anyway.

Ben Sheets (Was Sheets Signs with A's)
jersey cubs fan replied to Post Count Padder's topic in General Baseball Talk
I would guess that's more of a Toronto writer saying the Blue Jays won't be getting him than somebody with information saying the Cubs are sure bets to get him. -
I think the triangle buidling has real potential to be a tremendous addition.

Cubs interested in Nady?
jersey cubs fan replied to A-Cal's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
They already exist. Lilly is out, Harden is gone, and the cast of characters to replace them is weak. We know Lilly is out after surgery, we don't know that he'll return to form. Waiting for them to clearly be massive would be a pretty reckless way of dealing with the situation. By then it's too late. I don't think the answer to that is bringing in 1-2 more averagish guys. If they targeted a Bedard or Sheets, that'd be fine by me. But we don't need more rotation filler as much as we could use another top of the line type starter. Problem is, we probably don't have the cash at this point to bring in that top of the line guy, so there's little we can do right now about the rotation. I'm not asking for roster fillers, I've been hoping for a Harden replacement all offseason, which means an actual good pitcher. As it stands now, the rotation has holes, and the replacement of Bradley with Byrd isn't going to make up for that. -

What massive hole in the rotation? It definitely could use another quality starter if one can be had, but it's not like the Cubs are short of options of guys who are likely to be capable starters (Silva aside). I don't know if it's massive, but the hole is substantial. They lost Harden and will be without the services of Lilly to start, and then it's unclear how well he will rebound when he returns. They will start the year with Dempster and Zambrano, and then a bunch of questions. Wells came out of nowhere last year, but can he repeat? Samardzija sucks. Marshall has been decent but for some reason they've shown very little interest in actually starting him. Silva is terrible. Gorzelanny is questionable. Who am I missing? Even if you assume Wells wasn't a mirage, that's still 2 holes to open the season, 1 of which is filling the shoes of Rich Harden. They've got bodies, but all of them have reasonable doubt.
