    Didn't he die?

    Yay rubber game. Wood is the third starter? That's not encouraging.

    That was always perceived by the government as the government giving them money.

    http://www.baseballprospectus.com/odds/ playoff odds are almost up to 20% :clapping: Somebody math me here....why do the Cubs have a lower expected win total and higher expected loss total than Milwaukee, and yet have better playoff odds? Specifically, why better WC odds? The note said that wasn't the actual expected win total, for whatever that's worth.

    Wasn't it your statement in the first place? I think the front office would like to find an opportunity to move Vitters. I don't think you could get a hell of a lot for him, but you could centerpiece him in a deal that looks like you are doing something while essentially holding firm with all the prospects you actually want to hold onto.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    I would think there are three options. Fire sale. Hold firm. Actually go out and try to acquire a difference maker. There are variations of those, like a Vitters for somebody's overpaid veteran which is essentially holding firm. The chances of actually going out and acquiring a difference maker would probably require the team being in first or second by late July.

    Since every better option is already signed by their team and unavailable in trade.

    He has not. He's provided one, his misguided notion that Flacco is some replacable average starting pitcher.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Yes, you are the one who keeps bringing up the notion that Flacco is average and is only getting paid because he won. You keep saying it. Most everybody else understands the reality of the NFL, the CBA and the implications for quality starting quarterbacks. You keep ignoring that he's probably in the top 15 of the 100 or so NFL quarterbacks, well above average, and that he's done more than win the super bowl. You compare him to Sanchez, who freaking sucks balls, and Smith, who was replaced by a rookie because everybody who has a clue knows he's not any good.

    Took me entirely WAY too long to figure out why you posted that. At first, i thought the girl's shirt said "Torunto", but that wasn't a big enough issue to warrant a gif. Then it hit me right in the eyes. I've heard that stings.

    It was a start over at that point, not now. The thing is there are three parties (four if you count local citizens but nobody counts them). The Cubs want to build as much as they can, the rooftops want them to do as little as possible, and the city wants to pay as little as possible. The Cubs were willing to hold back if they got some funding. Now that the funding issue is gone the city is fine. But the Cubs want to do a whole lot more and the rooftops, who get no benefit from the city pulling funding, theoretically get no benefit from the Cubs doing more. The lack of funding actually hurts the rooftops, in theory. There's no trade off for them.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think there's a cut-off, nor do I think "make a go of it" means anything more than not tear the team apart. If they remain in the picture, they will keep it all together, for the most part.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Someone explain this to me like I'm a 5 year old. Why would it be a problem that Ricketts is paying for it without city funding? It's not a problem as much as it is a restart in the negotiations. The Cubs wanted to do X and have the government contribute Y to the process. Now they want to do X + Z and have the government contribute 0 to the process. The Cubs want more now in exchange for no financial assistance.

    I'm not intentionally trying to be ridiculous, I'm simply pointing out the flaws that come with trying to evaluate QBs based on how much their team wins. They play a significant role, but just because a team won a lot of games, went deep in the playoffs and maybe even won a Super Bowl, it doesn't automatically make their QB a great (or even good) player. Nobody is trying to evaluate a QB based on how much their team wins, except for you.

It makes them worth a lot of money, especially if they are a free agent immediately following a Super Bowl win. I'm sorry if you don't understand that. I do understand that his demands went up after the Super Bowl win and somebody would have paid that. But that doesn't make it the right decision for the Ravens to make. So your stance remains they should have let him walk and traded for Colt McCoy.

    No. As long as I've followed, it's been the Thursday after big league opening day. The past few years, though, MLB opened the season earlier in the weekend (I remember because it screwed up the first week of fantasy baseball). So the Thursday was close to a week after opening day. Really? I always remember the season opening on Sunday Night Baseball. Except for the international (Japan) games.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I doubt it. The presence of a QB like Flacco will allow the team to at least remain decent in the coming years, and the fact that this is the NFL and not MLB means they can just release him years before it actually expires if they want to.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    This isn't baseball. You can't judge individual stats alone because guys aren't facing one on one battles with the same competition as the rest of the league. Dew thinks quarterbacks are like starting pitchers.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Now you are just being an idiot for the sake of being an idiot.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Alex Smith played at a very high level in the playoffs. Mark Sanchez did as well. Should the Chiefs and Jets make them two of the highest paid QBs in the NFL too? Or do only Super Bowl rings matter when evaluating QBs? I really don't understand how you determine which QBs are good and which aren't since it's apparently not based on statistics over the course of a career. Alex Smith and Mark Sanchez suck. Flacco does not. You've make it clear you don't understand how to determine a good QB.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    That is asinine. You have some sort of weird hangup about Flacco.
