    I just don't want the stupid Patriots in Indy's superbowl. It's bad enough that Manning chose this year to have his neck fall off.

    If they're picking a new song for something, there's really only one choice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtjCMrnA3fM

    "Orange" down there must be like "Smith" here.

    Are you really going to turn on CSN for 3 hours, with an hour's worth of commercials, to watch a bunch of guys you don't know throw a ball around, and maybe, occasionally hit the ball over a fence? Is it really going to make your life better if a group of 25 guys you don't know, more times than not, beats another group of 25 guys you don't know at a game? *sigh*...what's the point?

    That's exactly the point — Take away Wrigley and the Cubs are just a team that hasn't won anything in 100 years. I'm big into tradition and all of that, too. But I don't see what something like this hurts, especially since the bleachers have been changed and upgraded multiple times. If they tore down the scoreboard to install a jumbo-tron or ripped out the ivy to put a bunch of ads up along the outfield fence, I would be pissed. Like I said in my last post, I don't want to be told when to get rowdy or crap like that, but this addition hurts nothing.

    There's nothing wrong with being skeptical about this kind of thing. It seems good to me, but I just don't want them to change Wrigley too much, to the point where they have all the screens telling you when to get "rowdy" and crap like that.

    Classic negotiation tactic, Theo and Jed will see right through it...... Or classic going about team business until something changes.

    Are you saying that he has no need for Viagra or Cialis? Yes, but in a less "hey guys, look at me making a funny joke!!" kind of way.

    It *always* makes sense. Giving someone $4 million this year and $3 million next year is paying them more value than reversing the two years. It doesn't make sense in the sense that a backloaded deal necessarily means Grabow got a multi-year deal.

    $10m per year for 3 or 4 years? Really? People thought that? Or $10m spread over 3 or 4 years? I didn't think he was anywhere close to being worth that, but I figured he'd get like 3 years in the 7-9m range. I wouldn't have wanted the Cubs to give him that contract, but that's where I figured he'd be.

    I could see making fun of them for it if it was something like, "I'm an awesome Christian and you're going to hell if you're not", but I don't understand mocking people for stuff like that.

    STOP SHOVING YOUR RELIGION IN MY FACE I HOPE HE FAILS MISERABLY Where was God on that 2 run double, Jesus boy!?
  13. ScrubMD
    Holy crap, weren't people thinking he'd get like 10m and 3 or 4 years?

    Trenidad Hubbard was routinely putting up mid-.900 OPS' in his late 20's-early 30's. Would it have been unnerving if the only difference between a 21 year old CF in AAA and Trenidad Hubbard was age? yeah, it's a pretty odd argument to make. age is a pretty huge thing, you can't hold his mashing of the pcl against rizzo, that's what he was supposed to do. Yeah, but if he doesn't improve at all in the next 8 years...then what? I see where he's going with this.

    It's only [expletive] up if he did something wrong. One of three scenarios will come to pass: 1. Castro is guilty and is proven so 2. Castro is legally absolved because of lack of evidence or charges dropped and you have a Kobe/Ben situation where you live with the suspicion/stigma forever, right or wrong 3. The accuser retracts her accusation or is thoroughly discredited and Castro is vindicated I think scenario two is by far the most likely and while better than the first, it's not entirely palatable. I think you could easily find a scenario in between 2 and 3. “I’ll do a Swedish accent.” -“No, you do not do a Swedish accent, you don’t know how to do one. And you don’t need to — these people don’t know who you are!” “I can’t just tell them we’re there to steal their artifact, Dennis!” -“… There’s a huge amount of middle ground between those two things!” — Dennis

    Everybody in the organization wanted Zambrano gone because he's a legitimate crazy person and also he's not good at baseball and getting worse. Why are so many people upset over the fact that we might have been able to get a slightly better player if we put up with Zambrano's craziness for another half season and if Zambrano didn't continue to suck for that half season and if Zambrano didn't rage somebody to death in that half season. We were never going to get anything good for him, he wasn't going to help us, and they wanted him gone. Who cares?

    I think they've been working him at third. EDIT: I thought I heard that but tried to look it up and couldn't find anything.

    Breaking News - The Cubs will be signing Pudge any day now. :lol: :lol: :lol: STOP. EXISTING. Dude...it's called HUMOR! Learn about it!
  19. ScrubMD
    He might lead the 2012 Cubs in HRs. LOL! At first I was like "LOL what?" But then I saw it was it green! So it's like "yeah....right!"

    Whatsamatter Jed, you too good to finish a deal cause your kid was just born? The baby come outta your vagina or sumthin?
  21. ScrubMD
    Same. Soriano, Zambrano, Dempster, Garza, Marmol, and Byrd are the only guys left that make real money, and Byrd is just barely real money (I decided to set my arbitrary "real money" line at $5m). They all have been linked to trades. We could be down to A's territory before long.

    I was lead to believe your post would be funny.

    If someone's just looking for profit, there are much much better ways than a sports franchise. They do make money, but for these mega-rich guys, owning a team is more a bucket list type thing. Bucket list type things are sailing to Tahiti, owning a sports franchise may be an ego thing, but it's extremely profitable. The Cubs were sold to the Tribune Co. in 1981 for $20.5 million and then sold to Ricketts for $900 million in 2009. If you know a better way to make that much profit, let me know. Some of the worst owners in sports end up selling for a lot more than they paid for a franchise. I'm not arguing that the value of the Cubs isn't much greater now than 1980, but to give it some context, the stock market was at 759 in 1980.

    Read the post above yours. With how unpredictable draft picks are in baseball, it would be insane to intentionally suck to move up a few spots.
