Picked up 2nd row seats right next to the hawks bench for the 2nd game of the year against Winnipeg. Pretty pumped about that as I haven't sat that close in years (the last time was at Chicago Stadium where I sat on the glass). Also picked up 300 level seats to that Saturday game against the Bruins and the 12/30 Wings game. Pretty happy with that.

Yep, seemingly once they pointed it out and went with the picture in picture they were going to pick on anything they could to develop the storyline. Having his back to the plate was pretty damn inexcusable. How often do you think that happens though? I am assuming not very often because it would have already been identified and fixed immediately with a benching or some other discipline. I'm not saying its ok that he did that, because its not, but I doubt its an ongoing issue, as I'm sure Castro knows he's not going to play long in the bigs if his back is to the batter while a pitch is thrown. That said, I can understand if one feels that Castro absent mindedly doing that is a sign that his head is not in the game at all times, because that is the kind of mistake that should simply never happen.

If Aramis Ramirez wasn't setting an example with his extreme laziness, Castro wouldn't be pulling this bush league crap.

I guess I just dont see how eating sunflower seeds on the field has anything to do with anything.

Im sure he's likely overreacting although Quades response is rather strange.

Not bad. $17 mil a year is a lot but he's young and to the best of my knowledge doesn't have injury issues. Plus 5 years is probably the perfect number of years for a pitcher. -
Bah, I wanted the sweep
-
I heard that Crane Kenney was behind 9/11 and the Great Potato Famine. Not Kenney alone. Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Zambrano helped him.

Can we take Rothschild back too?

I dunno what I am supposed to take from that tweet. "Possible market for Prince" Is this based on any sort of info or is Buster just speculating?
-
Especially when they're driving a stake through the heart of the Cards Yeah. But just in general they've been more watchable lately. It helps that theyve been winning of course. I've probably watched more Cubs baseball in the last 3 weeks than the previous 4 months combined
-
That would be a huge [expletive] story if Theo left the Red Sox to come to the Cubs. I guess he leave the Red Sox for a couple of days a few years ago so its not impossible.
-
This is exactly what I would do! I hate the White Sox so much and am so jealous of their WS in 2006, I wouldn't even interview Hahn. I would love a WS for the Cubs in my lifetime, but deep down inside would feel that it took a White Sox front office guy to get the Cubs to the promised land. Don't think I could live knowing that! Would it help to know that the White Sox didnt win the World Series in 2006? OK would it help to know that Hahn is a diehard Cub fan, grew up one, and still roots for the Cubs when they arent playing the White Sox (and probably would root for the Cubs over the White Sox but can't admit that), and because of this story it would be completely forgotten almost immediately that he had a tie to the White Sox?

I'm sorry, but I'm actually starting to enjoy this team.
-
What is better than an Aramis home run? An Aramis home run where you get to hear Chris Carpenter's immediate reaction.

No reason not to play hard ball with him. Big money secondary contracts to RB routinely end up biting the team in the butt eventually. He's not a free agent, and he's not elite, so he shouldn't expect elite RB money. Not for his running ability alone, but his receiving ability makes him pretty damn close to elite. Most people lately have been ranking him among the Top 5 current backs in the NFL. Yeah a lot of the "advanced" FO stats had Forte on par with Adrian Peterson last year. Then again the year before he sucked. So we'll see what this year brings. -
Cubs win again today!
-
Geo seems like he's starting to heat up. If the past is any indication, expect an injury soon.
-
Yeah, this is kind of heart wrenching. Still glad he's out the door, though. I've always liked Hendry as a person. Seems like a really genuine down to earth guy. I know Vance has had some very positive encounters with him in the past and Hendry remembered him each time, and spent time chatting with him. It sucks that he's out of a job, but I mean the guy just had a backwards philosophy and made a lot of questionable moves. He deserved his fate and I'm really happy that we're looking elsewhere, but I do feel a bit sorry for him because I know he truly gave everything he had to the Cubs.
-
Didn't you say his secretary is your neighbor? Is she hot? She's cute I guess. I've only chatted with her about the Cubs a couple of times becuase I don't feel right obsessively stalking her for Cubs info. I will definitely talk to her about this though and try to get some dirt. Hendry mentioned her name in his press conference (Hayley)
-
No one here seems to be mentioning that Cherington guy from the Sox. Seems like he's got a lot of good philosophys coming from Theo's world.
-
Mark Shapiro and Paul DePodesta are two guys I know who've admitted the same thing. Kenney isn't a GM or even baseball ops FO guys like those guys are... I understand that. I was just trying to speculate on why people randomly hate him.

proof?
