This has been some horrendous clock management, yikes.

Cubs to block Horshoe Casino Rooftop
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Garwilly's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
One of the things I personally enjoy the most about Wrigley is how little of an invasive presence advertising and other such antics have. Compared to all other ballparks, there is staggeringly little advertising when you look out over the field of play. Furthermore, games at Wrigley don't attempt to pack every second between innings or even pitches with side games, advertisements, and canned noise. I don't expect everyone to appreciate or enjoy that the same way I do, but to characterize me as someone who is a fan of Wrigley more than the team because I appreciate Wrigley's relative lack of intrusion on my baseball watching experience is way off base. -

It doesn't appear there's going to be much contractural difference, so I don't see any reason to pursue Byrd over Cameron.
-
Cabrera has consistency over Votto and Gonzalez, ability over Howard and Fielder, and age over Teixeira. He's been a Top 10-15 hitter in the game for 3 of the last 4 years, and he's 26 and locked up through age 32. That's what makes him worth his long term deal plus a trade package.

Worth the Loss of Mark DeRosa
Transmogrified Tiger replied to THISisTHEyear09's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
So if Miles had been as good as DeRosa, he would've played as much as DeRosa. But he's not, so he played less than 1/3 as much. -
Deal with the outfield defense for 1 year then move him to 1B.

Worth the Loss of Mark DeRosa
Transmogrified Tiger replied to THISisTHEyear09's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Mark DeRosa had 574 PAs in 2007, 593 in 2008. Aaron Miles had 170 PAs in 2009. -
Barnes was putting up some pretty sick numbers, but suddenly Alexander has just 71 less yards and 2 less TDs than him and Barnes has 37 more catches. It's going to be a travesty when Shipley wins the award because he goes to Texas. And Barnes has been putting up his numbers going through the MAC. He combined averaged 7 catches for 47 yards against the two legit teams BG has played(Boise State and Mizzou).
-
Easier for them to schedule? I dunno. In case anyone was curious, they don't have an auto-bid into the tourney. The name is hilarious though. NJIT, Chicago State, UT-PA, buncha great geographic rivalries there.
-
Shipley, Barnes, and Tate are the finalists for the Biletnikoff. It's insanity that Alexander wasn't even a semifinalist, never mind a finalist over at least Shipley and Barnes.
-
Are you kidding me Bo? What a waste of time.
-
A sucker punch gave him 2 black eyes?

I'm sure Rush's GPA was 0.0. Makes sense. Sounds like sour grapes to me. At the very least he had trouble spelling GPA.
-
I don't know if it's been terrible, but there's been some whistle-happiness early so far that I've noticed. Mizzou's second exhibition had 53 fouls in a blow out game. FIFTY THREE.
-
As for Mizzou, getting to 8 wins(which was pretty much the goal heading into the season) and ending kU's season would be great. Oklahoma State winning to give Mizzou an outside shot at the Alamo Bowl wouldn't be terrible either.
-
They probably won't, but they should. No, they really shouldn't. You don't get offered a month of practice to help develop players and just say "no thanks".

Eagles at Bears Sunday 7:20 on NBC
Transmogrified Tiger replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Well, he had to pull him down by the facemask. -
I have my doubts that Pittsburgh would have been as willing to offer Grabow that deal if he had been offered arbitration.
-
Check the Duck Hunt sign. http://www.mizzourahblog.com/images/stories/duckhunt.jpg
-
Well, they've only hosted OU once since the renovations were complete(last year), but they only drew 49k, which doesn't make any sense at all.

Adduci over Clevenger? Rather, Adduci at all?

Cubs trade Heilman
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Tim's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Depending on the terms, yes, I think that could be a very productive move. Those guys are all very good relievers, and offer production that is not easy to come by. Grabow is not very good and could easily be replaced by any of a littany of in-house options. -
Cubs trade Heilman

I'm not really interested in labelling the future opinions of the board as a whole. It's a pointless endeavor usually done as a strawman to paint the opposite of someone's opinion as an anti-intellectual who blindly sticks to some side of an argument whether it's rational or not.
