  1. Why do they schedule 10:35am (Pittsburgh time) games on a weekday? Well that was just awesome.
  2. now just make sure he doesn't get into scoring position
  3. Right away, when you click on the game you want and the box opens where you select what section you want, above all the sections there is a promo box - put in the code and press apply and all the other sections go away and there is just the discounted bleacher seats available. Oh, I see. It wasn't available for the games I selected but shows up on links for some other games.
  4. when do you enter discount code?
  5. I think the distraction will be nominal at best. I just don't think he's anything special and you don't draft non-special LB in the first round.
  6. Not to mention the whole sucking against Bama issue
  7. SBJ/SBD ‏@SBJSBD 1h Tom Ricketts on owning a team: "My approach was that even the problems were fun. Until recently, I really believed that." SBJ/SBD ‏@SBJSBD 1h Tom Ricketts on mobile devices: "If the product on the field isn't something the fan wants to watch, then we're in trouble." #sbjwcs SBJ/SBD ‏@SBJSBD 1h Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts says his group has been buying land around Wrigley Field to "make it a better all-around day at the park." Twitter home of SportsBusiness Journal and Daily, leading publications in the sports business world.
  8. Yay rubber game. Wood is the third starter? That's not encouraging.
  9. That was always perceived by the government as the government giving them money.
  10. Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc 4m Raffi Torres reportedly traded to Sharks so #Blackhawks fans won't get chance to express displeasure with him at UC during regular season.
  11. Carrie Muskat ‏@CarrieMuskat 1m #Indians claim RHP Robert Whitenack, who was DFA to make room for Gonzalez on #Cubs 40-man
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Since every better option is already signed by their team and unavailable in trade.
  16. He has not. He's provided one, his misguided notion that Flacco is some replacable average starting pitcher.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
