    Haven't there been rumors that Burnett is basically Pittsburgh or nothing?
  2. SouthSideRyan
    Tim McCarver too

    Great with x's and o's then run them into the ground by Sept? I think he means anti-social weirdo who eats Burger King 3 times a day.

    Every game is full of cringe worthy observations from old Timmy. Last week he said, "A walk is as good as a home run." There was a Cubs game a few years back where he was incredulous that the stats guys ran the numbers and proved more score in an inning with a leadoff home run than those with a leadoff wlak.

    yeah, not even close. UK would kill us. Kansas beat La Tech, who has a higher RPI than UK. Checkmate. Purdue hasn't beaten an FBS school. Check-Checkmate. Illinois hasn't won a Big ten game since the Truman administration

    Amazing. I also enjoyed McCarver's tears.

    That seems like MLB slowly forcing its way out of the posting system. If the rumors around Darvish are true, that could've cost his Japanese team ~40M if he wanted to negotiate with a team other than the Rangers, and you'd almost have to assume the player would choose the non-winning bid in all these situations seeing how Darvish and Matsuzaka got less than market value due to the posting fee being (somewhat) figured into the contract value while none of that money was going to the player.

    if you look at the gif, joyce obviously saw the obstruction, you even see him call it as it happens http://cdn1.sbnation.com/assets/3462203/interference.gif but...he tripped over Middlebrooks's ass.

    Amazing how much this one signing could swing my opinion so far of #PoorTomRicketts
  12. SouthSideRyan
    I'm guessing it's the top vote getters, they're doing the finalists so they can hype the awards show
  13. SouthSideRyan
    Although...Tom Tunney does like himself some BBQ.

    He's one of them. Both he and Trey Lyles decommitted from IU. The Lyles business is shady; Blackmon is just par for the course for players committing as freshman. Decommitting has been a trend for the Class of 2014 in Indiana. I was going to make a Matt Carlino joke, but saw he's actually doing well at BYU
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Was Blackmon the decommit?
  18. SouthSideRyan
    I could watch games from my office.

    For what? They're giving up no salary in that trade. Wasn't saying that's all they can/will trade but those are the players teams would want. Teams want Marquis Teague?

    Care to give me a google map link of the location? I'm not too familiar with the area. Sure thing: Link It really is too bad it will never happen, because it's absolutely perfect. Walking distance from 3 El lines, a few blocks from LSD and 90/94, a long walk or short shuttle/bus from Union Station/Ogilvie, plenty of space for all the other revenue generating crap they want, and they could orient the view from the stadium with the skyline/Sears Tower. I've always been against moving the Cubs but if the city/neighborhood doesn't allow the team to start making renovations that will increase revenue then the team needs to go elsewhere. I'd love to see what the property values in Wrigleyville would be with no baseball being played there. TT's plan listed about sounds like a good solution. Build a replica of Wrigley there and tell the landlords in Wrigleyville to go [expletive] themselves. I don't give a [expletive] about moving them elsewhere (easily accesible) in the city, it's when people try and put it in Rosemont or Darien because they're angry they don't get to drive 10 minutes to a game from their suburb that's the problem.

    sad stat: Castillo led the '13 Cubs in OBP (min. 300 PA) And you can drop it as low as 58 PAs and the only guy better was his backup
  22. SouthSideRyan
    he also can't hit lefties or rights And grades out poorly in the defensive ratings linked by TT(caveat, I have no idea where those numbers come from)
  23. SouthSideRyan
    While I have no clue what Saltalamacchia gets, I want nothing to do with the contract McCann will wind up with.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    If the Cubs wanted to ship out Castillo due to his lowish walk rate, what the hell would they want with Arencibia?
