did we just skip SSR's turn entirely? -
I love these posters who complain in 90% of their posts and literally only post when they can either complain about something or say I told you so about something they were complaining about before. What a fucked up way to fan.

Cubs should fire Theo and hire you, methinks.

i wish there were one single elite rental starting pitcher available so we could trade that type of package for him.

i will be bummed if the cubs don't win it, obviously, but i'd much rather see, say, the indians win one than see the marlins get another one. i totally reserve the right to pretend i never said that if we lose to them in the world series.

I've seen the Red Sox, White Sox and Giants droughts broken. I don't care about anyone else's freaking droughts, if anything it depresses me when other teams break their droughts. eh. honestly, i couldn't care less about our drought on a personal level. i get that it'll be very cool for all the very old people and stuff (as it would be for those other teams' older fans), but i just want to see a championship because i want my team to win one. especially since i haven't seen one. the same goes for the bears, too, though. if i had happened to start following the bulls 3 years later, i'd be in the same boat too there (thank god for that lol). but yeah, i don't see myself as "long suffering" or whatever nor do i think i deserve one anymore than any one. basically i take no ownership personally in the drought at all aside from how cool the whole spectacle will be outside of my own happiness from winning.

New Benny, and Other changes (Bulls offseason)
David replied to WrigleyField 22's topic in Other Sports
Eh; those were REALLY bad teams, and like David has pointed out, we're not talking about that big a difference in players. Best case scenario likely would have just them being less bad. We ARE talking about a big difference in players for the first 8 years of their careers. The only reason they sort of leveled out in the end is that Brand had a very severe drop in production due to injury, whereas Chandler just had a normal decline due to old age. Brand was averaging 25 and 10, plus getting assists, steals, and blocks. He was an elite player at his position. Chandler has never been more than a really good role player. I know that having Elton Brand on a really bad team wouldn't have made much difference by itself. I guess the assumption would be that if you have Elton Brand, maybe you become a little more aggressive about surrounding him with talent. tyson chandler was a legitimate impact defensive player and one of the best rebounders in the league. he also basically averaged a double double a few times. he was more than just a role player. -

The original plans didn't suggest that the premier club would be open to everybody. There was always going to be a sclusy section so they could justify the price. The plans suggested they would be open to season ticket holders. I never said everybody. This is a way bigger thing. From what I can tell, they're basically taking the highest tier tickets right now, making them a new tier that includes access to these clubs, and creating a new wait list for those in which the existing holders of seats in those areas have priority. -
they are already in the playoffs as far as the odds calculations are concerned. Right but the WS odds will change when the postseason matchups are set. not by much at all.
