    I got that same e-mail. I'll have to take a hard look at the prices because nine games at two tickets per is still a hefty investment. I figure it'll run around $900 that I can't justify putting on my credit card at this point.

    Ken Rosenthal reporting it as official.

    Also keep in mind that Vegas odds aren't just set by probability of winning. It also takes into account the amount of bets placed on a certain team. Since the Cubs are an annual favorite bet, the odds are usually lower regardless of the talent put on the field.

    Nice article on Chad Fox in today's Tribune: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-13-cubsjan13,1,1931455.story

    I'm sure they could find a way to comfort themselves over the loss of a few blades of grass with the money they would be getting as part of the deal. Probably not considering the money they already committed to completely resodding the field. Not just the resodding, but the entire revamp and leveling of the field. If I'm the Cubs, I set up shop outside the dugout with a shotgun, yelling at those punks to get off my lawn!

    Can't we as fans start the same line of thinking that East Coast writers have about Jim Rice? Let's just start calling Santo the most-feared hitter of his day and see where that gets us.

    I think there's a better chance that Comcast Sports Net will significantly bump up the number of games they cover next year. And I can see WCIU getting involved before WGN just because of their commitment to the CW.

    After eight years of a Republican administration, it's time for a change in philosophy. I'm not keen on a Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton monarchy but given the Republican options, it's the best we have.

    Chuck Knoblauch got one vote? I mean, seriously. :?

    I forgot about Juan! He's been up and down, but has definitely had two good years since leaving Chicago. More than I can say for Andy Pratt. He's actually more than half way to qualifying for the HOF ballot, if that means anything. :D And if his birth certificate is ever legitimized, he may be as old as some current HOFers!

    But it's to the White Sox:

    Good for him! Hopefully he has the stuff to make it in the bigs.

    It's more likely that other teams knew the situation between Prior and the Cubs was going to result in him being non-tendered. Why buy the cow when you can get it for free after December 7?

    I like how so many posters on that Dodger board are wailing and gnashing their teeth over their plight. I really want to register just to write, "100 years. Shut it" and watch the flaming begin. . .

    What did they say about the Patriots? As your average sports fan, I would really like to know what the Patriots are doing every hour of every day. Anyone know how Tom Brady's stomach is sitting after his Jalapeño Omlette he had this morning? On a serious note, on Monday night my friend from Boston IM'd me to ask me what I thought about "the game". When I said "What game?" He acted like I was a complete moron because I didn't watch or obsessively follow the Patriots-Ravens game (I was at the Bulls/Mavs game). Boston people need to be stopped. I wholeheartedly agree. My boss is from Boston. Ever since 2004, he's become even more insufferable. I actually find myself rooting for the Yankees at times.

    So who becomes the second lefty out of the pen is Ohman is gone? And who becomes our 10th MIF with Infante gone?

    Wow, between this signing and Houston getting Matsui, it's like the GMs of the Central want to remain the worst division in baseball. "Give us your tired, your poor, your overrated, your defensive and offensive liabilities. . . "

    Plus Boras has said that Jones isn't going to take a one-year "make good" contract, which is as much as I would be willing to offer him. Not to mention a player on our team named Pie.

    #-o :cry: :-& ](*,) Emoticons serve as my outlet now for Cubs transactions. How sad.

    The Tribuneis reporting that Crane Kenney will oversee business operations for the team while Hendry will oversee baseball decisions.

    I agree. McDonough was integral in building the Cubs as a brand despite having a losing product on the field since he joined the organization. Now that Rocky Wirtz in at the helm of the Blackhawks and home games FINALLY being televised, this clearly signifies that Chicago hockey fans have a future to look forward to. Perhaps. But I'd need to know how he's going to work. McDonough wasn't qualified to hire a quality GM, or quality baseball people, and I find it hard to believe he'll be any more qualified to do the same with hockey people. I still have my doubts about Tallon and Savard, but I don't know who McDonough will lean on to make a decision on either one. True, but at the very least, he should be able to rebuild a fan base with his marketing background. And without being a die-hard Hawks fan, from what I know they have some exciting young players to build around. It may not be the beginning of a Stanley Cup run, but the Hawks seem to be in a position to remind Chicago of a rich tradition.
