THEO IS MAGIC! NOT YET OFFICIALLY A CUB AND HE'S MAKING PROSPECTS MORE PATIENT HITTERS
-
Ok? I'm sorry, is there something else we should be talking about in this thread?
-
I totally forgot about that. Damn, you got a good memory. Where did you work again? MSDSonline..on the 9th floor, same floor as the Sun Times. I used to bump into Jay Mariotti all the time. If you ever see him in person hes this short stubby dude. /name dropping
-
C.C. works (or worked) in the same building as I used to a couple of years ago. Literally 2 floors up. Never met him but I've probably walked past him at some point unknowingly.

Pessimistic response: How will we f this up? Optimistic response: BOW TO YOUR NEW OVERLORDS OF BASEBALL AWESOMENESS

Wait what? GM's have to pass physicals? They shouldn't have to. Hendry did his best work while in an ambulance because of heart issues.

I hear he's been bragging about it all week.
-
Still good to hear that everyone still feels confident that this is getting done.

Backtracking much?

Some NSBBer is going to see 15 extra pages in this discussion and think 'ok what kind of dumb off tangent thing did they decide to talk about all morning' and then click on the thread and be shocked to see a bunch of news.

Ricketts was introduced as the chairman of the Cubs on October 31, 2009. Same day as Game 3 of the World Series. Jesus Christ a game 3 was on Halloween one year? That's just sad. Just looked it up. The PC with Ricketts was on October 30, 2009, an off day between games 2 and 3 of the World Series. You're telling me Wikipedia has failed me? If this is correct, then yes: http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2009/10/30/1107922/new-cubs-boss-tom-ricketts-were

Are they really going to let the Cubs announce this tomorrow? I doubt it. Ricketts was introduced as the chairman of the Cubs on October 31, 2009. Same day as Game 3 of the World Series.

Do you guys think this Cardinals World Series title will be more painful or 2006? One positive, David Eckstein isn't around to win MVP this time.
-
Yup, thats the article mentioned above.
-
So, if the budget is $150MM on the dot (let's say), where would you guys expect that leaves us after draft/amateur signings? These quotes show me that at least a few GMs looked at what the Cubs were doing under Hendry and laughed at the Cubs shooting themselves in the foot on an annual basis.
-
That's just really strange considering the deal hasn't gone through yet. I think this proves the deal all but has gone through, and there is just about no way that Theo isn't coming to the Cubs. They are just working out the details and having a hell of a time doing it.
-
Well they did have a pretty mediocre offseason last year, so I'm not surprised that they don't appear all that talented so far. That said, their roster looked back last year too and they were a top 6 seed.

Or we force you all to compete in an online battle royale banning each of you one by one until one remains, and your prize is to then be banned.

I would say spending too much time with the puck in our zone and making lazy passes follow the pattern of last year, but its too early in the season to suggest its as bad as it was last year.
-
Yup posted a couple of pages ago I believe
-
I dunno I still saw a couple of really sucky turnovers in our zone tonight. It's gonns happen to every team on occasion but when it occurs because of lazy passes its something that should be addressed. I'll excuse Keith's turnover as normally he wouldn't collapse onto the ice randomly without any pressure. Great dominating win though. Fun as hell to watch.
