  1. Well that settles it.
  2. http://img.pixtale.net/imager/w_327/h_225/crop/9ea88c1e3b1f9208ae4b249ccfc974e3.jpg
  3. Wow. Is that really true? Are you really that shocked? Rose has played ten games in the past 30 months or something. Not really shocked. It just seems like Butler has been around and a major part of this team longer than that. I was thrown back last night when the announcers for the Magic/Pelicans game said Eric Gordon was in his 7th year. Which obviously was 3 bad years for IU and 2 good years and then last year, but still to think of it as 7 years was weird to me. Hopefully it's his last year.
  4. Except for Anthony Davis, who 5 posts up was called the league MVP. http://photo3.ask.fm/827/655/449/920003008-1s1p7pt-1s12rlqoai1skcf/preview/anthonydavisbasketballheadshotphoto.jpg I think he's suffered enough.
  5. God is rightfully striking down all those that attend Kentucky
  6. I guess pitchcs could just adopt.
  7. and the Bum will think he mis-typed "BBB" Can we fast forward to this point where DB is Fd?
  8. How? I'm not going to pay 20% of full market value so I can be a silent stockholder. Market Cap for any public company is based on the current trading price multiplied by shares (of the appropriate type) outstanding. Sports franchises aren't US Steel. Owning 50%+1 share of the Cubs is worth a hell of a lot more than two times as much as owning 25%.
  9. I'm to the point that I prefer to that BN commenters just catching up to 2003 SABR and ripping their eyes out every time somebody attempts a bunt.
  10. Almost certainly.
  11. How? I'm not going to pay 20% of full market value so I can be a silent stockholder.
  12. I know it seems like common sense, but I don't know how reputable that publication is...they didn't just take the rumored cost of the 20% purchase and multiply it by 5 did they?
  13. $575M for everything IIRC Yeah, I'm seeing 375 and 575 in searching. Presumably 375 is the park itself and the other 200 is triangle building/hotel? I thought even the triangle was included on the 350 which was elevated to 375 when they went to 4 years rather than 5. My recollection was the 200M was all outside Wrigley's (expanded?) footprint.
  14. Huh? well, they buried the lede, as i didn't even see that, but isn't that just the minority stakes they talked about selling way back? I'd only really heard that the one time in passing, this sounds rather definitive down to acknowledging the group processing the sale.
  15. That Jimbo Fisher runs a real tight ship. Freakin Dantonio
  16. I really should've figured that out.
  17. Who gets to play alcoholic Bernie Kosar?
  18. I dunno, give them a new stadium downtown and an owner that isn't actively sabotaging them and they might do well. Sternberg is actively sabotaging them?
  19. Expand the playoff to 5 teams so all of them can get in.
  20. Hmmm, he had interviewed for the GM job this past summer.
  21. Hard to say without knowing the progression of prospects and who we sign, but if we aren't good, you could have several contributors dealt(Valbuena, Castillo, some vet OF, Wood if he isn't permanently Jaxon.)
  22. It's a gamble. I would have made the bet with odds (like you give $750 if the Cubs finish .500 or below, you get $1000 if they finish above). There are too many variables, too many young players who we don't know how long it will take them to adjust to bigs, injuries, the possibility of the Cubs starting off slow and Theo deciding to be sellers at the deadline one more time, etc. Nope. And that last part is definitely not happening. With Lester, I don't think he needs odds on that. I think he probably should give odds, if anything. Then again, teams never project for more than like 85 wins so what do I know. What do you mean the last part is definitely not happening?
  23. That's what everyone was saying about Girardi last year. And Epstein 3 years ago.
