  1. Right, which is why people won't spend more for that game which will just make game 2 even less well attended than in normal years.
  2. Wasn't he quoted saying he knew at the time it wasn't realistic but just couldn't justify telling the fan base it's going to take years of not trying?
  3. I was sitting in traffic on the Kennedy, listening to this Started screaming and doing fist pumps in my car and then calling whoever i could think of I was in Puerto Rico, chugged a beer while texting w/brother-in-law who filled in the details.
  4. I don't think a floating day off is all that feasible. What does some more realistic to me is that you just price in the risk of the rainout and the potential good fortune of buying a Game 2 ticket that turns into an Opening Day ticket when setting pricing. It's silly to me that the main justification for the off day is that people pay more for that ticket, as if they don't control what the tickets cost too. Yeah, I don't think it could work, and I really don't think it needs to. They spend 6 months playing games on the vast majority of days. A week from now we aren't going to be thinking of the off day. As to "pricing in the risk" for the game 2, I do not see how that would work, since the two things working against each other is nobody cares about going to game 2 and sales are always much lower for that game, so increasing the price of those tix for the off chance that it will turn into the new Opening Day doesn't make much sense.
  5. The fact that we're the worst doesn't mean I can't enjoy other teams being less bad but still bad. Detroit is bad?
  6. This is like that time when you didn't know who he was when we acquired him! I went through the effort of looking up his uni number after the replay of the 2nd bomb and figured out it was Wesley, who I remembered not remembering who he was.
  7. he's not very bad He looks like a very good BP pitcher for LH hitters.
  8. who is this very bad LH pitcher giving up bombs?
  9. too many white pitchers is bad for chemistry?
  10. I say underslot this year since that is the way the draft presents itself, and then just add a tank year on to the back end of the rebuild to get another shot at the top 5 pick.
  11. He's a hitter. They only need like a week to get their timing down. The rest is just to sell tickets and give the pitchers someone to warm up on. Yeah, but he missed it with an injury, not just because he was chillin' by the pool.
  12. Bruce Miles ‏@BruceMiles2112 4m #Cubs say IF Ryan Roberts has requested and been granted his release.
  13. castro missed most of spring training. that's a bummer with a guy in need of a major bounceback season.
  14. In 2015, Cutler and Allen combined will cost $19m against the cap. I think you might be $10m off.
  15. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-marc-trestman-backup-quarterback-job-20140327,0,166407.story spoiler alert, Trestman uses a lot of words without really saying anything.
  16. Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 4m So cap hit for Allen is $3 million this year and jumps to $12.5 million in 2015.
  17. The whole thing looks bizarre; everyone looks like they're wearing trash bags, Ruth's mechanics are hideous and he's basically lunging out of the batter's box and the catcher is practically standing up. Can you imagine the "go back to your mother's basement with this mechanics talk" mentality that had to be prevalent at some point?
  18. Because every time he returns a kick from the end zone he's tackled on the 17?
  19. Your hate fuels me to greater heights. The word you were lookin for was 'depths'. New depths
