  1. How much are you thinking they are buying?
  2. Huh huh, no idea why they are holding him, huh huh.
  3. I'll guess it opens GB -10.5, could see it getting up to 12-13 by game time Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 17m #Packers open as a 7.5-point favorite over #Bears for next Monday's game at Lambeau Field at LVH per my man on the Strip @JoeFortenbaugh $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Weird, I see 11.
  4. Just because it's kind of fun to bitch & moan about your teams. There's no real point. It's more fun to enjoy a 2-time recent champ without getting annoyed at meaningless points missed.
  5. And only 4 non-shootout victories. Call me crazy but I find it difficult to get annoyed at the Blackhawks just yet.
  6. Except for the whole impossibility of it.
  7. I know a lot of us feel like we could quit on the team sometimes, but I think most know that they never actually could. Short of it being revealed that the Cubs were facilitating some kind of heinous human trafficking/exploitation operation or affiliating themselves with a hate group or some such thing, I don't see any way I could just stop being a Cubs fan. I wouldn't be so sure of that. People's life situations change all the time. And especially as people age they tend to care less about a pro sports team. On the whole you aren't going to see a mass exodus of fans. But I could easily see people just stop caring/paying attention. It happens every season on a smaller scale, why couldn't it happen over a longer term? And I wouldn't just assume somebody "wasn't much of a fan" if they ever did stop caring.
  8. I can't see the city helping the Cubs move from one part of the city to another part of the city (because that would hurt a larger amount of people than it helps) and I can't imagine Reinsdorf ignoring the Cubs moving 2 miles away.
  9. he also can't hit lefties or rights
  10. Care to give me a google map link of the location? I'm not too familiar with the area. Just west of Soldier Field I'm guessing.
  11. he's got the worst [expletive] attorneys
  12. You're a Cubs lifer just like everyone else on this board. You aren't going anywhere. Also, this likely won't happen. He could be like Kyle and at least try.
  13. Oh my god, are you kidding with this nonsense?
  14. Whoever is the manager if/when this team wins is going to become a legend. He's not going to be the one to determine if they do win.
  15. The type of college hitter he was combined with his start to his professional career suggests he could very easily see major league action prior to 2015.
  16. What original deal? I have always heard it described as a partnership with comcast and the four teams splitting ownership five ways.
  17. No, we need to start signing all the really boring players because we will get them cheaper. That is a good point.
  18. So the question then follows, is the new market inefficiency that charisma is currently being underpaid, and the Cubs will be going after a lot of outgoing players?
  19. If you are paying top dollar for a player, you want more charisma than baseball playing ability. That's just a fact.
  20. He got that contract because he played on the Yankees during their championship run. Not because of charisma. MLB teams don't make money off charisma, they make money off television ratings and attendance, and that is correlated to winning. A superstar helps you win, which pays for itself. A charismatic personality does very little for the bottom line.
  21. This isn't serious is it? Doesn't seem too far off to me if Trout continues his pace (which would make him one of the greatest players of all-time at the age of 26). It seems extremely far off to me. 15 years for a guy who depends on speed? Don't think so. "Depends on speed"? .400 OBP and 30 HR. Doesn't really depend on speed.
