Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Stars, they're just like us!!! -
Who I just damned to hell on national television.

But Jordan retired, while Rose is just sitting out because he's uncomfortable. He's healthy enough to play but doesn't want to. He's under contract, getting paid, taking up salary cap space but he just doesn't want to play. They have to handle him with kid gloves because that is the nature of having a star in the NBA. But don't pretend that fans don't have the right to be upset that he's sitting out with a case of the uncomfortables.

I think everybody is aware. If they were then they shouldn't expect them to go away. I just don't see what the Cubs get out of it. No one goes to the games or tunes into the broadcast for the stretch, so why give a free media junket stop for every movie star and musician? How often has sportscenter or some other entity shown the guest conductor? Wrigley probably accounts for 90% of all "look at the goofy thing that happened in the booth" stories you see out there. There is probably very little to gain for them from having the dregs come through, but every once in a while they get Eddie Vedder or some other A-list and it adds to the allure of the stadium. It also something they can market, both in terms of having something to offer corporate partners and random Chicago area prize winners, and in advertising dollars.

You expect Soler to spend the whole year in high A? That would be incredibly disappointing to me. I think his approach is advanced enough already that he can move quickly. He probably should spend most of the year there unless he starts ripping the league. There's 29 guys out OPSing him in the FSL now, enough for 2.5 guys per team. There's 12 guys with a 100+ point OPS advantage. He's just now barely at the point where he's got half a season of professional playing time under his belt. He's probably a couple years away from the majors. There shouldn't be a rush to see him in AA.

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/Wrigley-Rooftop-to-Advertise-United-Airlines-118849114.html This indicates there was some sort of agreement between that owner and the Cubs. They had the Budweiser flap and then Horseshoe Casino, which was blocked by the Cubs. But that states the Cubs announced United was the new advertiser in 2011 as part of a larger Cubs/United partnership. Interesting. Given the fact that they had some sort of partnership, I wonder if they are compensating the building owner in some way for rendering advertising on that roof useless. Didn't it say 3-year agreement? That should be up after this season and before a jumbotron goes up.

I'm confused with some of those sentences.

Rick Renteria Named New Cubs Manager
jersey cubs fan replied to Hawk4Hall's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The more I watch this team, the closer I think they are, to be honest. Take away the bullpen and some stupid errors and I think the Cubs' record would be pretty good right now. And that was with a tough schedule. Tough? They just played 8 games against 2 of the worst teams in baseball, that's been 28% of the season. And simply "taking away" their worst parts doesn't just make them better. You have to replace those bad parts with better parts. There's also the little issue of this offense still being the worst in the league at taking walks. -
Am I underestimating the DeJesus trade market? I see pick 34 as a back of the Cubs top 10 type prospect with the additional benefit of the Cubs getting to pick anyone available at 34, not just picking from a limited set of players in one specific organization. Seems like good value for DeJesus if they're going to trade him. Wait. Wouldn't the prospects in one quality organization be a better collection to choose from than just guys available after pick 33? Not all organizations, but the ones you want to deal with should be. And you would have the advantage of having a guy with more data points to judge.

My suspicion was that it was intentional (before seeing it). That's the best way to get noticed as a nobody in the broadcasting biz. But I eventually saw it and the way she flubbed it didn't seem as scripted.
-
The two go hand in hand, though. No one is going to fly to Chicago to sing for 45 seconds then go home. My point is, having a guest conductor sing the stretch isn't bothersome. It's the interview that sucks.
-
I could care less about the guest conductors, just don't interview them during the game.
-
I enjoyed hearing Rangers fans complain about the refs last night.
-
Seriously? Oh come on. Oh sure. The timing is completely coincidental, guys...completely unrelated! EDIT: Looks like some series of videos of her doing a show called "Sports Nutz" came out yesterday too? Still...stupid. Except those were very old and they had to know about them prior to hiring her.
-
he ended up with 96 pitches Was he laboring in the 8th? sure looked like it to me. he gave up an infield single, a walk, and then actually got out of the inning before borbon happened Thanks bullpen
-
Presumably because the 2B and 1B play him deep and the pitcher will not be in position to field it.
-
I had to take a work call and turn off the game audio. Prior to that Keith and Pat were learning about Twitter and what an underscore is. Put the audio back on and Keith is talking about underscores.
-
I didn't even know who she was prior to a couple of months ago but I agree. Bar owners and landlords should not be known. Once they are, it's only for their horribleness.
-
Isn't he where he is because of injury and therefore that doesn't count within the parameters of the discussion?

It's 5th. He's not batting 9th. And it's not like Castro is some 1000 OPS hitter that can never be moved out of the top of the order. He's really good for his position/age, but he's not a no doubt about it first inning hitter.
