    4-4 doesn't seem right in first OT, but it sure has opened things up.

    Soler tried to attack Buell Mueller with a bat but the new hitting coach caught him across the chin with a left.

    Do you really not know the answer(s) to that question? The party line from the organization is that in order to support the payrolls of the late 2000s, they need the increased revenues/lower expenses that the renovation and/or new TV deal(s) will provide. Ownership has always been capable of supporting higher payrolls, but they haven't because of one or more of the following reasons: - They're trying to maximize profits by intentionally avoiding spending money - They have cash flow restrictions on how much they can spend on the team vis a vis their debt repayment as a result of the terms of the sale from Zell - They're intentionally minimizing future commitments to minimize their risk while the 500 million renovation project they would like to pay for and start construction on is up in the air We've known the reasons for a long time, and there's various logic(good and bad) behind each, it's just a matter of how much you believe any one of those reasons. You forgot, damage the rooftops business model by creating an environment where nobody wants to go to Cubs games for 3-4 years. That doesn't hurt a billionaire owner much.

    Haven't the Cubs picked up a dozen or so such players in the last few years? They do it for the need of a body, not actually belief in a prospect.

    You say "let slip" as if it's a real story.

    no he doesn't Okay, if you say so, I guess you must be right. There's no way in hell you, or probably even most ML scouts/executives, can make that statement with any certainty whatsoever. Have you ever had a wrong opinion? I can't make the statement I made with certainty yet you can make the statement you made with certainty? Yes, I've had many incorrect first impression opinions about players. Not as many after 7 years of unimpressive nothingness.

    Both of his career HRs are on Youtube. Put them on a loop for a few hours and see how you feel then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsMnsXt3YSI I feel like I want a brat. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was playing on spotify as I watched that clip. It synced perfectly.

    no he doesn't

    5/55 was definitely bandied about at some point. Don't recall any 5/75 talk.

    I can't think the sport is boring and repetitive without it being a macho thing? I'm just not sure what the difference between figure skating and any other winter olympic individual sport is, I'm not sure how you can say this stuff with a straight face.

    Define small.

    No, basically my point is. No team with good players would give them legitimate chances to be everyday or probably even platoon players. Which I believe would prevent people from thinking they are the 10th and 15th best prospect in a good minor league system. They both would be written off as 4A players in an organization with a good ML team. Those are not top 15 type talents. I'd imagine either one would be claimed by most teams if DFAd tomorrow I don't get what that has to do with it. Considering the garbage that gets picked up by every team from time to time that isn't a statement about their value as prospects.

    That's what I always questioned. I can't believe that anyone seriously thought the city or state was going to help when both of them are broke and have been for quite awhile. You can't believe that a government agency, even if they're broke, would kick in money to a project that would cost them something up front but they stand to benefit from in the millions on an annual basis from? You're right, that's totally crazy talk. Especially when seemingly every major sports facility in the history of ever has gotten some degree of public funding. Seemingly being the operative word. Very few of which were approved during the biggest financial crisis since the great depression.

    I'm assuming it wasn't after you closed fist punched her in the face (allegedly)? No, it was after 6 months of no sleep due to a newborn, a bottle of champage and 2 bottles of red wine (the 2nd one barely getting touched and in my hand on the way back upstairs). Great dinner though.

    Oh come on. The one person with something to gain by this story is Ricketts, who can pretend he didn't want to cut down on payroll but did so unwillingly as a part of the sale agreement.

    http://media.giphy.com/media/teiEDj7iKHYLC/giphy.gif That part where they did the same series of tricks that the last person did...that part is awesome. I preferred the part when that one thought he score was unfairly low and then when other people were surprised at the other one's higher than expected score. Plus the original music.

    I don't pretend to have a realistic ranking of schlubs this far down the chart. But I have not yet voted for him.
