A useful reminder not to pay attention to spring training.

Such a contrarian.

2014 Winter Olympics (Beware, no spoiler tags)

Google image search for figure skater taint is surprisingly tame. http://bp1.blogger.com/_6uFLbgjbSmM/RjuH_FpQddI/AAAAAAAAAGU/Z8kOUBgYE_M/s400/94Harding-Kerrigan2.jpg -
That is 7 dudes, only 1 OF and 1 SP.

Random Cubs Musings: Minor League Edition
jersey cubs fan replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
It's pretty nice that at some point this year, all of the big 4 should be above AA. Finally. I'd be shocked but it would be awesome if they deemed Almora ready to start this year in Tennessee. Do you mean above A+? I didn't think all four were slated for AAA or the majors this season. -
I really don't think that Arizona thing is a money issue. Then what? They negotiated in bad faith and never planned on building anything? Not sure if it's bad faith or not. Hotels across the street from Wrigley Field, which hosts 81 games per year and maybe 82 or 83 sometime in the next 10 years, is something you can justify. But building bars and restaurants and other stuff next to the facility that hosts 15 attended contests for one month a year seems silly for the Cubs. They can probably afford to build a bar there, they just don't want the hassle. Let somebody else do it and get your revenue from your own stadium.

They've seemingly gone from one of the worst to one of the best in about two years. I think it's pretty impressive. But yes, I know, modernizing baseball operations could have been done within 2 weeks of being hired, and then they should have focused on free agency to raise their star-studded roster from 71 wins to 82 wins. I love that, amidst all this angst, the 2011 Cubs won 71 games, and the 2013 version won 66 with their two best players crapping the bed. But hey, that 5 win drop says everything about the state of the organization. No, the 66 win games won 5 years into the Ricketts, the $80m payroll and the never ending rooftop saga says everything about the state of the organization.

I don't think that is easy to forget at all because the focus has been strictly on the minor leagues for years now.

Exactly. It reminds me of the moronic Razorback fans who are comparing Bielema to Houston [expletive] Nutt after 1 season. It hasn't been one season.

The NLs hard line stance against seeing eye dogs has really hurt his chances They did away with the individual league offices years ago, that's an MLB decision.

Laurence Holmes?

These guys didn't draft Baez.

It's like the Cubs' version of Godwin's Law. Whenever someone starts to make good points that maybe Emperor Epstein is only partially clothed, Hendry gets brought up as a deflection. Hard not to when you spin things like this It's not hard to interpret that like an intelligent person. Everybody makes up nonsense about what a terrible situation these people inherited. The Tribune/MacPhail/Hendry era left a lot to be desired and failed to take advantage of many opportunities to dominate. But they did no worse than what the Ricketts/Epstein era has produced so far.

They talked renovations the day they bought the team. David seems to be willing to compliment people for allowing time to continue running in a straight line. I'm not complimenting anyone and am unhappy with a lot of things. I also think they've had to deal with lots of obstacles and I'm not sure how much better (in terms of results) this whole renovation thing (and TV deal) could have been handled. I'm not sure any owner would've come in and gotten the renovation issue settled any quicker. The TV deal they were left with is also a massive hindrance. I'm not trying to give ownership credit for a TV deal he hasn't gotten yet, I'm granting some leeway for a tough path and pointing toward something that is going to be a massive contributing factor when we substantive improvements. They stepped into a situation with one of the top earnings team in the league as well as one of the most beloved, with a fan base and stadium that provides an absurdly forgiving cushion when it comes to staying around in tough times. They were obviously a mismanaged organization, but they were still quite healthy and capable of avoiding the embarrassment that they have provided over.

Morale is high in the front office.

Was that not expected?

I hate when reporters say, "can you talk about....." instead of just asking a GD question.
