  1. first rule of soccer club is... it's a kit, and futbol. That's all I got.
  2. We need the Frontier League to just steal High-A away from the FSL, they're already out-drawing them with a far inferior product. I'd say disband the FSL entirely, but most of the orgs in the league(all but the Cubs and Brewers, actually) are dumb enough to have their ST complexes there. actually in february/march it doesn't rain that much in florida, at least on the peninsula. I wasn't as much referring to Spring Training games as the rest of the activities that happen at those complexes. Player rehab, GCL games, etc. Think about all the in-season stuff that happens at Mesa and how awful it would be to be constantly interrupted by weather and poor playing conditions. I'm sure the guys who have to do stuff in Phoenix during the summer would kill for some more rain showers.
  3. You need an actual owner/town to invest the money into a stadium and making the team an ongoing funded entity. My guess is if such an owner/town combination existed, it wouldn't be much of an issue, but the problem is that minor league baseball has pretty much saturated the market.
  4. It is vindictive, apparently due to him trying to interfere with the investigation.
  5. IIRC, big time yes. California is notorious for one hitters.
  6. We don't know that, but we do know they will end the season with more losses than wins, and it's a decent bet that they will have more losses than wins the next two months. Does not change the point that was being made.
  7. You might call that his signature move.
  8. Wait, they got rid of that rule, or implemented that rule? Got rid of it, that's why guys like Garza have a slightly dimished trade value as the teams can't even net a compensation pick if he leaves via FA the next season. So they implemented the rule. What you wrote suggests those players now net a compensation pick.
  9. The first 10, though we don't technically know who will be type A yet. Maybe I've been too absorbed with work lately, but I thought they got rid of the whole type A/B/C thing and just work off who gets a qualified offer and who doesn't. Yeah they did and also got rid of the rule that pending FA who gets traded, even if they receive a qualifying offer (Garza for example), can't net the acquiring team a compensation pick. Wait, they got rid of that rule, or implemented that rule?
  10. Isn't it more of a silver linings situation than a perverse and distasteful endeavor? I think everybody wants the Cubs to win every game, but we know that's not going to happen and they are going to lose more than they win, so the only upshot to that is how it affects what they can acquire in the future. It's harmless nonsense.
  11. could have been called for hands to the face and holding on that play
  12. 89 put the Giants in that category for me and Cub killer Pat Burrell/my in-laws put the Phillies there for me more recently.
  13. http://kccougars.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/cat-chat-with-jason-mcleod/
  14. I was golfing in Cape May last week and the starter noticed my Cubs hat and asked how I was liking "their guy". I hemmed and hawed trying to remember who he was talking about and said, "oh the outfielder". He's a thing there, apparently. But that's about it.
  15. this transaction is taking longer than the rumored Garza deal.
  16. What in the world does that even mean? They will never be done building the farm up, it is a continuous process.
  17. Throwing a football and a baseball are such completely different motions.
  18. I don't think any of the other candidates (Dejesus, Nate, Russell) are likely to pass through waivers. It's possible they get claimed and the Cubs work out a trade though I guess. Doesn't Gregg cost the minimum? That would make him an easy waiver acquisition for any team that desperate for a bullpen arm, which means he wouldn't pass through either. I kind of feel like the Cubs will just keep him since they won't get anything for him and they are sick of their bullpen being so unstable.
  19. The reminder is appreciated because I had no idea who that was or where he came from.
  20. Who can't WGN on their TV but can get them on WICU?
