  1. I doubt we'd lose much. If the Cubs' value was contingent on them having a good team, it wouldn't be as high as it is (obviously). If you spend 5 years eroding your television ratings it is going to have an effect. The same way the Cubs value would have been effected if they never had 2003/2008 to show owners how much of a cash cow this team could be even with just a glimmer of hope.
  2. boom shocka locka that nearly went over the chain link fence
  3. It's not an either/or option. It's mostly bad timing (much like the TV situation); the city and the state have no money. They were never going to get anything. Right, but governmental insolvency was an issue prior to him purchasing the team.
  4. https://twitter.com/BruceMiles2112/status/324956285038628864/photo/1 That's quite the picture. Not sure I've seen it like that without already going through a rain delay.
  5. Is Marmol pitching for them? This guy misses by feet at a time, then right down the middle.
  6. He took way too long to make the decision about management and the team has gotten worse and worse under his ownership. Those are the things intelligent Cubs fans didn't want to see happen.
  7. Every teams spends most of the dollars on expensive major league talent and comparatively little on the farm. The teams that consistently win consistently spend more on payroll than the others.
  8. Bruce Miles ‏@BruceMiles2112 13s For today's attendance game, you're not allowed to just guess crowd size. You have to name everybody, too. #Cubs
  9. draw a walk draw a walk draw.. yay, Starlin drew a walk. Will that one guy eat his hat?
  10. Bruce Miles ‏@BruceMiles2112 3m #Cubs say Takahashi cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Class AAA Iowa.
  11. Cubs would have to be on the extreme high end of that
  12. Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 1m Mini-scoop while taking day off: Tomorrow through Saturday the NHL Network to film #Blackhawks' front office for NHL 36 documentary episode.
  13. ^^^What he said^^^ Iowa Cubs ‏@IowaCubs 3m No game tonight vs @nashvillesounds Postponed by rain. Makeup date TBD.
  14. Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan 1h Field looks like it's in pretty good shape, all things considered. Thanks, Sodfather, for the patented drainage system.
  15. It goes back to not having the balls and/or foresight to make the very easy decision to fire Hendry on day one. Put a competent management team into place from day one and this team isn't in this position today.
  16. Oh shut the hell up. This person is awful.

  18. The reason are that Stanton will cost more talent, while Price would cost more money. So a team like the Cubs, with lesser valued prospects to offer but plenty of cash to spend (if they want to) would be more in line for Price. Additionally, the Cubs prospects base is more position player heavy with no high end pitching, so their perceived need would also be in-line with the asset they appear to be more able to afford.
  19. I don't love it at all, but I sure would not cross it off the list of possibilities.
