    I know you're kidding, but saying what you hope happens = sense of entitlement?

    That's going a little far. It really just doesn't matter how much worse the rest of these teams are than us. Not in 5 or 7 games. It's not a complete crapshoot, but each series is still fairly close to being a coinflip. I hate to beat a dead horse with that point, but you hear so many people talking about how much of a failure it would be if they don't pull it off this year that it just needs to be said. Don't set playoff expectations too high and try to enjoy the ride. Easier said than done, though.

    Randy Bush = Cubs assistant GM But I agree that there's little chance it'll happen.

    I was at the game last night and I was in complete disbelief last night when I saw Howry coming in. I could not believe it. A close game, no less. It's not often I get that pissed off over a pitching change. I really, really don't know what to say about that at this point.

    LOL! The Lastros lost... nice, so 2 more wins against the Blewers and we have the division! Oh it's so great... how nice it will be to rub it into the face of the ever-tiny Brewers Nation if we clinch at home against THEM. SOOO PERFECT! Do you really need to continue to uses these [expletive] and completely unfunny names when talking about other teams? You've been doing it for the last week or so (at least as I can remember) and it's getting quite annoying. I agree the names are pretty lame, but that was kinda mean, lol.

    The only way you have to choose between the two (Pie and Fuk) is if the Cubs decide to carry 12 pitchers (SSR does a great job breaking this down about 5 posts up). I would be pretty shocked if that is what the cubs decided to do given the breaks between games give the bullpen more rest than during the regular season. I would be too. I'm just passing on what I saw in the paper. Can't figure out why I can't find it online.
  7. David
    Yea, no. That's not happening.
  8. David
    It's more the media's fault than anything. And I should've phrased my post better because I don't really feel like he's been doing all that badly.

    Can you guys stop talking about banner and ring ceremonies and stuff? I don't care/believe in jinxes, but I don't need to get all excited about this stuff right now, damn. I hadn't even thought about that stuff.

    There are rumblings that Pie could make the playoff roster over Fukudome. I saw it in today's Tribune, but I can't seem to find it on the website. I guess Levine and Randy Bush were on the radio over the weekend and it was also discussed that they were thinking of having Pie on the roster and Edmonds off it, given his recent struggles, but I highly HIGHLY doubt that happens. I could see the Fukudome scenario playing out, though.

    Please... you're making me mess up my pants. Prematurely, at that.
  12. David
    Guys, should I take my northface tonight? Damn I am in denial about summer being over.
  13. David
    LOL if you don't understand why I might want to use my tickets after driving 10 hours to Atlanta and it being my first playoff game ever. It's not like I said I was rooting against them. I was mixed, and I said I wanted them to win. And Vegas odds don't really matter. It was Wood vs. Hampton, and I think Atlanta's starters were on short rest.
  14. David
    That certainly doesn't make it seem like any deal is imminent. I don't see any reason for the Cubs to abandon their process and select a winner while the season is going on. It wouldn't be the first time old news was regurgitated and passed off as an "update" in this whole process.

    The rumor is that it's the Ricketts guy. This was already posted in the thread about the blog posting hinting that Cuban was out. Supposedly, Stone wanted to be part of an ownership group and he signed the TV deal with the Sox when he found out he wouldn't be. I guess we'll see. He wanted to be apart of Ricketts group? So was he forced out of a stake or Ricketts group wasn't selected? As far as I know he just wanted to be part of a group. I have no idea what group. The theory (suggested in the other thread) was that since Stone won't get to do that, he signed the extension.

    Obviously the Cubs are going to win the division no matter what, but this is the same mentality that I heard before Game 5 of the NLCS in 2003. People debated the Cubs losing Game 5 so they could win at home. Sorry that you might not be able to see them clinch in person, but you should be cheering for the Cubs to win every game until it doesn't matter anymore. In 03, I was driving to Atlanta while Game 4 was being played. I honestly was totally torn about what to root for in that game. I wasn't crushed when they lost, but I did want them to win. At least in the NLCS we were coming home and only had to win one. How could you be torn at all considering we hadn't won a series since what 45? And we had to go on the road against the team with the best record in the NL to win the series. Because I had tickets to game 5 and I was driving there to see the game? I guess I could've made that more clear. Thought it was obvious.

    Sorry. I beat you. :twisted:

    I always say this when the subject comes up, but a lakefront stadium would be absolutely amazing, maybe like on Northerly Island. It would never happen, though, and it would be miserable in April. So, outside of that, Wrigley re-build, plz.
  21. David
    I think it actually stemmed from Z's comments about Wrigley and the ensuing debate Old Style and I had in the no-no thread.
  22. David
    On the plus side, how often are rumors like this actually right?
  23. David
    This is basically what I hope winds up being done. Basically a new Wrigley with a few notable aspects conserved.

    I can't find the article on the site. Link? Yeah, if it was there, it's been deleted. http://www.bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2467:rumor-ricketts-will-land-chicago-cubs&catid=30:mlb-news&Itemid=42 This is the article that MLB Trade Rumors links to.
  25. David
    The part about Cuban that I would've been most excited about wasn't so much the payroll but his forward-thinking approach. That's what I'd be really bummed about not having if he doesn't wind up owning the team.
