    Limited sample sizes tend to do that.

    Red means we have to treat your post ultra-seriously.

    I'd say watching Piniella versus Yost is like a game of checkers...but that doesn't begin to cover the sheer amount of idiocy at work. Maybe a game of war. There's nothing more mindless than flipping cards.

    Don't worry, Tyler Colvin will save us from Reed Johnson.

    Russell apparently has one of the best changeups in the organization. His numbers in Daytona were pretty good, but not stellar. If he continues progressing, he could become a top-notch lefty reliever or a decent back of the rotation starter.

    Funny. :P

    That was quick.

    I'm debating whether my favorite line of the day is Carmen Pignatiello's or Matt Camp's. Both are terrific in their own ways.

    It's been crazy here today! It was raining earlier in the morning and I took my bike to class since the sun came out and there was what seemed to be a decent break in the clouds. About halfway to school, I started getting pelted in the face with frozen rain that was coming down in droves and being blown all over the place. I had to check myself in the mirror when I got here just to make sure my face didn't get cut up. After that, the rain's been on again, off again, with some really strong winds. Needless to say, it feels like March outside.

    Bingo bango. If that happens, don't expect them to pony up.

    Buffet's the one providing most of the financing to Mars through Berkshire Hathaway. Mars does not have $22b in cash just lying around to make one of these deals, you know? Basically, Mars is taking out a huge loan from Buffet in order to help create a shell subsidiary, pour the $22b into it, buy out Wrigley, and merge Wrigley with that subsidiary in order to keep Wrigley's remaining shareholders and liabilities away from Mars. In order to pay off that kind of loan, Mars will have to sell off a ton of Wrigley's assets and will likely take a bunch of steps to avoid incurring any further debt with Wrigley for the time being. In other words, they will not incur any unnecessary/excessive costs with Wrigley for the time being. I'm guessing that will include the naming rights for Wrigley Field, unless those naming rights somehow confer a tangible benefit on Wrigley beyond what Wrigley pays for it. Something tells me that tangible benefit is not going to be worth the cost of those naming rights.

    Well, at least Wrigley will still exist in some form. Granted, in order to pay off the amount they just incurred, Mars is going to have to sell off a bunch of Wrigley's assets and do some creative restructuring. I'm guessing Wrigley's name is going to be off Wrigley Field.

    Yeah, this was a pretty bad day on the whole for the Cubs organization.
  17. Outshined_One
    Fixed for the memories of 2006 this game is giving me.
  18. Outshined_One
    It doesn't help that the Bears have apparently dedicated their drafting after Round 1 to throwing darts at ESPN's draft preview magazine hooked up to a dartboard. What a crummy day.
  19. Outshined_One
    That one is right up there with Todd Hollandsworth's insane catch at Anaheim.
  20. Outshined_One
    His IsoD is at .069. There might be hope for him yet.

    My predictions for the first four picks.... OT Jeff Otah QB Chad Henne RB Chris Johnson S Tom Zbikowski Given how completely unexcited and annoyed that draft would make me, I'm almost willing to make those four picks my locks of the draft.

    The only Cub on the latest Hot Sheet graces the "Not Hot" section...

    I think people are having sex in the cubicle on the other side from mine. Anything to take my mind off the Cubs.
