    Good, I suppose this means we won't have enough to get Clifton though?

    Yeah Ellis at 3-4 years for 10 mil a year +/- is not something I'd want to be a part of and Goudelock is absolutely [expletive] terrible.

    I have two family members that have had Brewer season tickets for as long as I can remember and didn't renew last year when this all started pretty much because of Braun. They all hate him for this. That's ridiculous. I know. I called them idiots for it. They were really good seats too, they had 4 seats only a few rows behind homeplate. I'm actually a 'season ticket' holder too, I've got a 20 pack and go to all the Cubs games up here, sell some (like opening day, bobblehead days) to recoup my costs and go to a few others. With their crappy effort I haven't done much recouping this year... Anyway, based on the crowds I'm seeing and fan sentiment it would be pretty easy to get nice season tickets back at will... Yeah they had a full season package and usually let me buy in on most Cubs games and a few games a year when a team/player was in town I wanted to see. Even though the Brewers have hit 3 million fans a lot in the last couple of years tickets have always been quite easy and cheap to get during the season for the most part, the only benefit was the first dibs on playoff tickets/not having to pay secondary market value on them. But I don't think Brewers fans/ticket holders need to worry about that anytime soon.

    Too bad it doesn't happen as often as it used to. He had a 3.6 fWAR last year and 32 HR...

    I'm completely fine with keeping Soriano for the rest of his contract if we can't get a top 50-75 prospect for him (assuming we eat some contract).
  8. Cubswin11
    He's been running like that all year. He has a nasty case of plantar fasciitis.
  9. Cubswin11
    I wonder if Rogers got Torreyes and Alcantara mixed up? But the mention of the trade to Houston makes me think not, unless he also thinks it was Alcatara traded.
  10. Cubswin11
    Really? He hasn't missed a game since 2010, when he had his separated shoulder finally surgically fixed. That he probably sustained in week 1, came back a few weeks later, and was drilled in the same shoulder in the second game. Yes, he's had minor injuries since- ankle, finger, hip. But not missed any time from them, in fact, only been "Questionable" once. Labeling him injury prone isn't really accurate, imo. I agree average to just slightly above average is more appropriate

    Braun/Arod 100 game suspensions possibly coming over/right after ASB according to OTL. http://espn.go.com/new-york/story/_/id/9464246/ryan-braun-refused-answer-mlb-questions-biogenesis-clinic-sources-say?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

    Maybe part of that broken past contributed to an inability to be allowed into Canada. More on Lang's broken past: http://www.idahostatesman.com/2013/07/08/2646581/lang-faces-a-different-struggle.html Maybe one of the two Treys don't have their passport. That was a problem for the great Mark Pawelek. Canada won't let you in if you have a DUI in (I think) the last 10 years, so that could certainly be a possibility. It's why the NFL won't expand there Also why MLB won't schedule Cardinal-Jays games in Toronto

    Because, well, Phil Rogers

    If it took including Russell with Garza to get Bauer I'd do it, preferably you'd want them to want Gregg over Russell (obviously).

    I really hope he pulls this clownery in a close, late innings situation and somehow a drop/error ensues and costs them the game.
  16. Cubswin11
    Because it's in Citi Field. That's really dumb, he has 13 HR this year and has never really been a premier power guy. But I guess I get it....

    Is this something that could have an effect on their development? Balaguert has been a very pleasant surprise so far. Doubtful as it's only outside of the country they seem to have problems going and they haven't had any problems traveling within the US so far, or at least what we know of.
  18. Cubswin11
    so wtf is that, those guys aren't able to travel to canada? If they aren't US citizens but here on Visa's could there be issues with that?. Obviously they would have to have a passport regardless. I'm going to make a guess that the guys named Trey are indeed US Citizens. I completely overlooked those two.... Just focused on Penalver/Yasiel. So maybe the Trey's have some sort of past history (that was mentioned) that is keeping them out and Penalver/Yasiel could potentially face visa issues?

    Why the [expletive] is David Wright in the competition to begin with?

    Gomez had a huge second half last year, iirc.

    So I tell my girlfriend this and mention that he's 19 yrs old. She's a nurse and immediately responds, sort of sheepishly, "So is he, um, you know?". I told her I have no idea if a Cubs outfield prospect is gay, but I was thoroughly amused that that was the immediate medical thought that came to her mind. Gay guys usually have better style than that stupid thing he has on his chin. Didn't he get engaged around spring training this year?

    Fire all the commentators! Buck, Brenneman, Kruk, etc.

    The Jaguars are going to show the RedZone channel on their jumbotron during home games. Genius!
