    They're attempting to tank for a higher draft pick while maintaining the appearance of being nice guys. If you think the Cubs would have gone to these lengths on behalf of the Giants if the Cubs were 2 games out of the Wild Card, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not sure why that is your interpretation of what I was saying. What the hell? My point is I don't get why they are so openly supportive of the decision. Why say anything at all?

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-cubs-defend-wrigley-grounds-crew-20140821-story.html Hoyer says the problem "was caused by our organization", but Julian Green blames it on a freak occurrence of a sudden rainstorm that wasn't in anybody's forecast. I don't get why Hoyer is so willing to talk favorably about the ruling and place the blame on the organization. Seems like a pretty obvious time for a "we'll respect the decision" non-response. You are either calling out your facilities people (while trying to pretend you are not) or welcoming an opportunity to give back a win.

    Isn't that Ryan Sweeney? I don't see much value in this type of thing. I'd love to have a good veteran on this team, not for the veteraness but for the goodness.

    lolllllllllll Sorry, guys the very purpose of the article was horribly flawed, let me get right on that. But the point stands?

    Seems like a pretty ineffective way to hold down costs. No one is required to build foreign academies. The academies themselves aren't a huge expense, and without them teams that want to have involvement in the region need people down there, maybe more than there are now. Seems like a more likely outcome is that the teams that don't want to spend are wanting to have competitive parity with those that do, so the rules are changing to accommodate that minority. They are a pretty big expense with no way of generating revenue on their own. If the handful of teams with those academies are going to monopolize all the talent the other teams will be forced to spend money on all the second and third rate prospects, or abandon the market. It isn't a perfectly efficient way to hold down costs, but they can't just do the real obvious ones without running into trouble with the law and/or the players' association.

    Cubs management was oddly sympathetic to the Giants cause on this one. I wonder how much that pisses off the players.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Their interest is in maximizing profits and they are doing that by holding down costs. They aren't targeting the Cubs, they are helping teams like the White Sox that don't want to have to invest. It is a disincentive to spend.

    Those things work when a rundown lot gets upgraded but not so much when a street is being taken over or a current building is being altered. Plus, a groundbreaking there is just going to provide a forum for the opponents to voice their oppositions in front of multiple media types, including non-beat writers.

    Just got this in an email. Not sure if it's a STH thing or some other mailing list I'm on (maybe from signing the petition). I got it as well and I'm pretty sure it's just the same mailing list they send out other stuff from, upcoming schedules and giveaways etc.

    this is how i feel as rational as i like to be, looking at those pictures is even worse somehow than what i was visualizing. [expletive] all that. There is nothing irrational about not wanting to see that on the uniforms. It will provide very little, if any, benefit to the team on the field. It will only serve to make the owner more rich. And it looks like [expletive].
  21. jersey cubs fan
    The only way it benefits the Cubs is if they are allowed to keep all their revenue from the advertising; and I have big doubts that MLB would let this happen without structuring it as a shared revenue situation. The only people that benefit in that are the owners.

    That seems to be the obvious reason, no? He can get on the ice much sooner. Can't really blame him for that.

OG -- Kyle Long, Chicago Bears: This spot belonged to Logan Mankins but as a personnel director said to me, "Long might be the best guard in the league already." Watch the film. He is on his way to a great career.
