A deal will happen soon but it is not imminent. Also the Red Sox are the only organization that can afford him. This guy is full of crap. -
I doubt any

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-22-14
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
something happen to bryant? Yeah, javy fucked his wrists. -
Well, okay. You claimed that nobody that could afford to live there would be willing to live there, but, maybe you didn't.

I think you are being a bit unrealistic in terms of what type of people can make a good amount of money. There are a lot of 26 year old single people willing to throw in a lot of money on rent to be right in the middle of where they like to drink the most. I wasn't talking about renters; I was talking about people buying to live there. Of course they'd find a herd of choades willing to rent in pack-squalor. Okay, but that's what the value of the place is. You aren't going to sell to families looking to stay there 20 years, but there will be an endless horde of renters available and that is where the value in the property lies.

That sounds nightmarish. I can't imagine that too many people who can actually afford to live in a building like that in that location would be down with the frat party atmosphere and the skyrocketing crime rate. Really? People loved living there in the late 90's early 00's before it went full on corporate bar atmosphere. The fact that the people who make the "frat party atmosphere" out there in the first place even exist should disprove any notion that that type of person does not exist. There are plenty of people who don't mind the hubbub outside their house, and can afford to live there.

More seating capacity is not a good thing in major league baseball stadiums. The scarcity of the product is the reason why season tickets continue to sell in lean years.

Okay then that will work out great when it is determined your building is unsafe for occupancy and you can no longer conduct business there. Of course you're going to do the other stuff. My point is I totally get why an owner refuses to start anything until he makes a decision on the revenue streams. You're statements are diametrically opposed.
-
Because that is not a cost effective way of renovating the stadium, and there are other ways of increasing revenue from the renovations that have nothing to do with the signs in the outfield.

Really? Are you an architect, Kyle? You can modernize Wrigley Field, give it the revenue streams to make it comparable to other large market parks, and unequivocally not disturb the rooftops...... Renovating and putting up new big signs are not the same thing. You can absolutely renovate the park in a major way without interfering with the rooftop agreement. The Cubs don't want to do that though.

Hmm. I watched that video, and didn't come away with that feeling about Ricketts at all. I felt pretty good about it, actually. Like maybe our erstwhile owner is finally going to do something that will benefit us as fans. I'm not talking about the video. Within the last year, he's compared them to the neighbor stealing your HBO. While funny, it's uncalled for, given the contract they have. That rhetoric worked fine while in the process of negotiating the first deal, but it makes you look stupid when said while you currently have a contract specifically sanctioning that activity.

Yes, they really destroyed the lives of those 14 people that brought up a folding chair to watch the game. I mean, it's not a big thing to be concerned with by any means, but that is definitely cooler than the monstrosities now (not that I blame them for monetizing their views). In a world where nostalgia is always better than present day, sure. In real life, no.

Yes, they really destroyed the lives of those 14 people that brought up a folding chair to watch the game. That's not what my point was. They saw a way to make a [expletive] of money with little or no investment on their part. They didn't create any entertainment for their patrons - they let someone else do it for them and had minimal expenses(liability insurance, if even that) for years and years. Good for them, but their time has run out. Again, that's how business works. That is no different from sports owners that bought $50m franchises and saw their value skyrocket through the growth of spectator sports in general. They bought the property and refurbished dingy old pieces of crap buildings. They invested in an opportunity.

Not changed feelings, but playing to the camera a bit. THERE WAS ALREADY A CAMERA CREW THERE AND WE KNEW THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING TELEVISED ON TELEVISION VIA CAMERA THAT WAS MANNED BY A CREW WHOSE JOB IT IS TO CAPTURE MOVING IMAGES FOR DISPLAY ON THE SCREEN

There is just no way this happens with Jeter if he played for any other team in his career.
-
A little bit of that and a little bit of being positioned exactly in the right spot. Mostly the latter.

Really, you want an even longer drawn out ovation for him?

When I was about 12 years old I was at a sporting goods store with my mom and bought a Yankees t-shirt that was on clearance for like $8. When I got home my dad expressed shame in me that I have never noticed before or since, and I never wore the shirt and have no idea what happened to it. I don't even think they were particularly good when I was a kid, they were just always the good bad guy team in movies and I liked it. I feel the same sense of shame for all the douchebags clapping for him and probably justifying it by saying how he is the anti-Sosa.

that ended up closer than I thought it would
