    Keith Law had Ken Tremendous on his podcast today

    Bolded have no business being on a list of bad things to happen to the Cubs. Grace being a douchebag is annoying, but he was a very good player for the Cubs. Also, no mention of the Tribune Company Ownership

    How much money is he making from the 300 fans/game he's selling tickets to? He runs his team with some of the lowest, if not the lowest, expenses in baseball (even with the new stadium since the city/state paid for most of it). He does have low revenues (from ticket sales) but he annually gets one of the highest cuts of revenue sharing from the top teams. Also I don't know what their TV deal is, but Miami is like the 7th largest metro area in the US, so I'm sure he has an okay one in place. I'd venture to guess Loria runs one of the highest margin teams in baseball.

    Law has some sort of article up on ESPN talking about a Rizzo demotion, it appears

    Howard wasn't in the league until he was 24, his first full season was at 26. He put up 25.7% k rate and 15.3% walk rate that year (2006, age 26 year), Dunn's age 23 year (was his second full year, but only played 116 games) he put up 26.9% k rate and 15.8% walk rate.

    Yeah, I'd call it a "smaller major city". It has about the same population as Milwaukee. But as Tim mentioned, its metropolitan area is substantial -- about 4x larger than Milwaukee's. Yeah. Milwaukee+metro area is around 2 million, isn't Boston+metro like 9 million?

    The media making the Rose thing a non-story at this point is perplexing to me. This is the same group who was all over Cutler for not coming back into a game after he had sprained his MCL and Lin last year for not coming back from a torn miniscus/surgery for it a month 1/2 before the playoffs started.

    43%, 3 saves in 7 opportunities, according to ESPN. I don't know if that's updated for tonight.
  9. Cubswin11
    He had some moments all game where he looked like he was in clear pain but yet had a phenomenal game and did what he always does. [expletive] off, D-Rose. If Noah is playing through this Rose could be out there now, even if it's only 25 minutes a game like Noah is playing
  10. Cubswin11
    How hard did he hit it? Gameday said line out to Bruce and yes appeared to be ball 4
  11. Cubswin11
    Jason Marquis is still in the league!?! He's pitching against Milwaukee tonight for San Diego
  12. Cubswin11
    Travis Wood has been really good to start the year. Pretty much has done everything you want your 3/4 starter to do
  13. Cubswin11
    Dejesus! Up that trade value, baby!
  14. Cubswin11
    The other pick in the Revis trade is a conditional 4th next year and could only go as high as a 3rd round. So a 1st and a 3rd for him (at most) is pretty reasonable, imo, if he comes back to the player he was along with no guaranteed money.
  15. Cubswin11
    Would promoting Shoulders to Daytona sometime in June be a reasonable expectation if he remotely continues on his current pace?

    They're advertising like crazy here in Milwaukee desperately trying to sell tickets. I don't know how this franchise survives in Milwaukee. They're 27th in attendance and it says 15k fans per game (rofl) but they give away a ton of tickets and I've never been to a game more than half full. Meanwhile the Brewers sold out 42k seat Miller Park for a regular season game Saturday. The Bucks are just way off the radar of Milwaukee fans. Do you think they could ever develop a following if they could be a perennial playoff team? if Marquette can draw a large following (always competitive team), you would think that the Bucks could do likewise. If they built a winning team, people would come. If they could put out a product that could annually achieve 4-6 seed range (5-15 games over .500) they would draw. When they had Ray-Big Dog-Cassell they drew really well. The Brewers are also an example of this, in the late 90's-early 2000's they were putting out awful teams and the fans reacted accordingly by not showing up, then when they started showing they were at least a respectable team and made the playoffs a few times they now are drawing 3 million+.

    Bryant with HR #20 today
  18. Cubswin11
    27 points on 9-11 shooting in a game he appeared to be interested in for less than 5 minutes
  19. Cubswin11
    John Kruk is worse than one would expect on Sunday Night Baseball, I literally can't watch the game due to him
  20. Cubswin11
    Seems like the Revis to TB rumors have been going for a couple of months now. Yeah, pretty much. Signed him to a 6 year $96mm extension, but none of it's guaranteed. Gave up the 13th pick this year and a conditional pick next year.
  21. Cubswin11
    If this injury takes away any speed/range/quickness he has he basically is a nothing prospect now, not that I was ever that high on him to begin with (especially him being a top 50-100 guy).
  22. Cubswin11
    This might be the dumbest conversation/idea ever from a manager and local talking heads in Chicago and that's saying something.
  23. Cubswin11
    Jaron Madison, director of amateur scouting, was at Kris Bryant's game yesterday in which he went 3-3 with a HR, 2B, and 2 BB.
  24. Cubswin11
    TB gets Revis, they've really done a nice job the last 2 years of adding talent.
  25. Cubswin11
    So are we going to carry 6 OF?
