  1. Unfortunately guys Ricketts has invested the Cespedes, Darvish, Tanaka, Lester fund in Crude Oil over at TDAmeritrade.. Its now become the Brandon McCarthy ETF.
  2. volatile real estate market and the difference in upgrades to the buildings, plus the potential that other properties not related to Wrigley Field are involved? Those are all obvious reasons that still seem like a stretch to account for $12M difference per building (a 200% markup). Height of the market in 2008 until now might make for what 50% difference generously if all else was the same?

  3. Its probably good we got rid of Maddux in 92. We would have built a competitive team through the 90s and altered the franchise to the point we never would have got the number 2 pick and Kris Bryant.
  4. ^ That one might be my favorite so far. By the way drinking bourbon with Jed, Theo, and Nate at a gentrified fancy bar.... count me in! http://gatewayredbirds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=55538&sid=108904d4250e0076c3718bae7a33ca91&start=80
  5. They should just go the contraction route, get rid of the Rays and send Longoria and all their young stud pitchers to the Cubs.
  6. Cobs luck... Rizzo and Bryant.
  7. You round first hard regardless of whether that is a single or not. I haven't seen a replay focused on Gordon the whole way around, I'm just spitballing You're spitballing that he jogged around 1B on a well-struck single as the final out in the WS? That's the part that bugs me. If he wasn't hauling ass, he certainly should have been so he could take advantage of any mistake made since he was the [expletive] tying run in game 7 of the freaking world series. Could you imagine the Kaplan Krew if Castro pulled that in a WS game.
  8. I dont know I'd say there was a 15% chance he scores. There was probably at least a 15% chance Crawford makes a bad throw. 150 feet out he could run the catcher up the line, whip the ball on a bad hop to Posey, etc 1.5 out of every 10 times if not higher. Im curious what the exact statistics are on accuracy from relay throws to the plate, because I see them miss fairly often.
  9. http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/send-alex-gordon/ Nate Silver says Royals should have sent Alex Gordon.
  10. Oh man I totally read right past that when I saw this yesterday and thought it was just a bro love thing. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is. Well yea but now it's like a silly HS cliche in a movie where the star QB calls the secretly hot nerdy girl with glasses by the wrong name and she's still smitten. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Its a cliche that is so true though. No chance Jay Cutler even knows Kristen Cavalleri's middle name.
  11. It will close then open again in 2016. Even year thing for SF.. amirite?
  12. That's an odd reaction. Its kind of fitting because a guy named Madison Bumgarner went 7 picks after we drafted Josh number 3 overall. If we're going to bemoan missed drafting opportunities for the Cubs we'll be doing it for years. Of course every teams fucks up the draft more often than not. Im just bringing up the only relevancy between Josh Vitters and Bumgarner.

  14. Close but Sammy is coming in to manage after Maddon. A 50 year Connie Mack like managing longevity with 30 titles as the Cubs manager.
  15. Most Latin, African and Asian countries have a frightening lack of traffic laws On vacation in Jamaica taking the tour bus is much more frightening than any haunted house in America. I'd venture to guess the drivers in DR are similar. Best description of the drivers in Jamaica is they go at a high rate of speed, pass up cars for absolutely no reason, and also have no fears of driving into oncoming traffic literally constantly. Also 2 cars drive side by the in the same narrow lane constantly..
  16. I get what you're saying but I think the vast majority of hitters have a 2 strike/contact approach and presumably don't have such issues. You can absolutely shorten your swing up with 2 strikes and improve your contact percentage. Shouldn't change your timing much at all either. Your natural hand eye coordination is doing most the recognition there, i dont see someones swing getting off timing there.
  17. Stl fans tweeting insanely homophobic tweets about how Joe Buck of all people is biased in favor of the Giants is the next best thing to the Cubs actually winning a WS, loving this.
  18. I vaguely remember Sosa hitting a towering fly ball to about straight away CF either to end the game or in the 9th inning of one of the games they lost. It either would have tied it or won the game (can't remember if men were on base). I think it was off Schmoltz as well. Can anyone confirm that this happened or am I dreaming this up? For some reason Baez hitting that towering fly off Chapman this year reminded me of this Sosa moment this year that I had long since forgotten.
  19. What do you have against Bruce Miles? Theo is in that picture!!! pretty sure mojo is aware There are people here who dont like Theo here? Blasphemous..
  20. What do you have against Bruce Miles? Theo is in that picture!!!
  21. Do you mean candidates for 4 decade club or am I missing something?
  22. Where is this at?
  23. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/giancarlo-stanton-miami-marlins-historic-season-trade-potential/ Article on Giancarlo. Would have been killer if the Cubs could have bought "lower" on Stanton this past winter. Maybe a deal packaged around Almora (whose stock was a little higher into the season) & CJ Edwards.
  24. Somewhere in the independent leagues is there a Ben Christensen, Bobby Brownlie, Reuben Quevedo, Sergio Mitre, and Steve Smyth starting 5?
  25. Can you purchase somebodies rights to season tickets so they are in your name? If so, have you seen how much people will charge usually for you to take over their tickets?
