    So montero still can't block a pitch. I guess there is that

    FIFY

    When will Montero actually make a good throw to second base? He has been just horrendous this year at that.

    You mean......? That's right. 1,822. Bravo! :clapping:

    Would you say 10k is more of a Sigourney Weaver or Rick Moranis?

    In the same boat as you. I've been trying to sell as many as possible at face value to family/friends/co-workers to avoid the StubHub fees. The only games I've made a profit on this year are Opening Day (upgraded to better seats through the presale, so it was a wash) and the White Sox series (minimal profit). I think the days of using Season Tickets as an investment ended after 2008 unless you want to sell playoff games and/or the Cubs really start dominating. The team has gone to the full extreme on pricing tiers, which is probably the main culprit besides actual team performance. However, I remember that you could get any ticket you wanted for face or slightly above for basically all of 2003. The biggest financial benefit I have seen so far has been from concert presale tickets. I will take a bit of a loss on my season tickets but that has been more than made up for by the profit on the concerts. I really do think that we will see the tickets at the end of September go for more than face value (if the Cubs are still competing for a playoff spot) and hopefully next year will be even better. The better product on the field will help immensely with the attendance.

    It's a way to convince yourself it's OK to trade prospects without ruining your virtue. So it is the trade-version of "just the tip"?

    It would be unconventional if he did considering he's only pitched like 8 games this year at AA and doesn't have a very good peripherals. Yeah the 1.73 ERA looks enticing, but his FIP is 3.54 and his K:BB ratio over 41.2 innings is 32:18. That's... not fantastic. While stranger thing have happened, I'm going to assume Johnson only sees the majors this year as a September call up. Johnson reminds me a lot of young AJ Burnett. Great stuff but lacking great command. Here's hoping he can have even half the career of Burnett.

    Schwarber is a disappointment. No home run.

    What the [expletive] is going on with Berman's hair?!
  11. profisme
    Reminds me of Sean Whalen from Jury Duty.
  12. profisme
    That bonifacio sb is the game right now
  13. profisme
    This ump has been brutal
  14. profisme
    No challenge because we wasted it on a play that never had a [expletive] prayer of being overturned. He could have asked for a review, though I realize that but it is a semantics issue you are bringing up.
  15. profisme
    He was out at second but Joe didn't challenge
  16. profisme
    This. I also think he will deliver at least 2 concussions on catchers from his follow through on his career
  17. profisme
    Gotta collect them all

    Yuck

    Hangover from the Eddie Vedder concert

    Should have been a walk

    The offense runs very hot and cold and after Denofria the next 3 hitters are not good. Castro squared it up last time against Rodon. Losing an at-bat with a RISP is painful today Even when Castro gets a hit he then breaks your heart for the next 20 AB's. I'm just saying I get why he called the hit and run. I wasn't shocked when it happened. I was disappointed in the result though.

    Why hit and run there?

    My personal wish-list would be a controllable CF and good controllable arm rather than a rental. The two names which come to mind right now would be Charlie Blackmon and Tyson Ross. For those two guys, obviously some very good pieces would have to be dealt, but you have control of Ross through the end of 2017 and Blackmon through the end of 2018. Both the Rockies and Padres are not playing great ball and the Rockies may have already conceded the fact they won't be contending this year.

    If Russell plays short in the ninth I'm going to be unhappy
