    Can't think of anything looking at those pictures but Andre Dawson saying, "when I hit one over the fence at Wrigley Field, I hit it over a tru-link fence."

    Really risky click

    Did Tim pay you to say that as some sort of subtle advertising? "Site returning soon!"

    I wouldn't count buddy Carlyle out. He clearly has access to people who can get their hands on compromising photos of just about anyone.

    Three words to blow your mind: Ice. Cream. Sandwich

    I think part of the playoff odds things are based on how well the team has played (not just record) as well as remaining schedule. So that makes sense to me. Yup. Oak lands run differential is ridiculous.

    TIL size does matter.

    I signed up 9/2013 (I think) and had that number as of the last time I checked which was sometime this summer. Something's not right. I signed up in 2011 and I'm at 55,000

    Because there's a bunch of interesting stuff to do, especially for kids, and you can do a lot of it without breaking the bank. The zoo, the Arch, Grant's Farm, City Museum, Science Center, Magic House, Botanical Gardens and the brewery tour are all pretty centrally located and not terribly expensive. Just because they aren't things you'd be interested in doesn't mean they're not pretty fun things to do on a family vacation. And quit making me defend St. Louis, it makes me feel dirty. I concur with both sentiments. So much to do with the kids, great FREE stuff in and around forest park, (I live 25 minutes from the arch on the Il side). I went to a great jazz festival on art hill (heart hill) on valentines day. I, too, feel filthy expressing the good things abt STL. So let me tell you about the the heroin addiction epidemic, the abandoned neighborhood, intense racism, and general filth.

    This is what I was trying to say. His value is at it's highest -rightnow-. If another GM is willing to pay full price, or at least more than what he's worth to the cubs next year (trading from a strength to a weakness), do it! Is infield power a strength? I think it is. When Rizzo, Bueno and Castro are top 35 in the nl in slg. regardless of position, and Baez and Bryant are in the wings, I think it is.

    I was about to post the same sentiment in the game thread. Turns out Olt has been on the DL since Aug 19

    Can't agree on Valbuena or Alcantara being expendable. Valbuena especially is an ideal utility guy. Nor are any of the relievers expendable. I have to believe that one of Contra or GoodValley (fertileValley?) will be traded. Adding Bryant to the team makes one of these guys expendable. I get that you don't HAVE to trade either, but with a front office that understands value, I have to think they will sell high. Valbueno is likely at his highest value right now, and in a low power environment, infield power could really be an asset other teams want and the Cubs can trade from abundance.

    I will be at this game. It will be my first game since spring of 2012.

    And when are they expected to be in place? Well, signage will be in place next year. Who knows how much of that would go to it, though... He sounded really high on the TV deal but I got in late so I don't know if he was just talking about the 2019 one or if he was addressing the 2015+ slate as well. I was under the impression money from the signs was going back into the renovations That is the reasoning given to justify them initially, but it's also been considered one of the untapped revenue streams. I'm not really sure how that will all be allocated, though. I've always had it in my mind that sign money would go to pay for renovations until they were "paid off" and then go toward salary.

    he started worse than this in iowa A lot worse. .142/.229/.255/.484 through 28 games with 45 Ks in 118 PAs. Only had 3 HRs also. yes! yes!! this is what I need. More! More!

    Somebody remind me how he started slow in each minor league stop.

    I went in '03. Paid $6 for nose bleed seat. the stadium was empty and I secured seats about 15 rows behind 3rd base by the 3rd inning.

    I'll be at Busch Friday night. Haven't seen the Cubs live in years. This feels like getting in on the ground floor again. hope its not a scam.
  23. Bull
    Does anyone still have hope for Olt? I want him to be rizzo 2.0 so bad.
  24. Bull
    and they eat 5 mil a year.

    speaking of "no place for him", how much must Elliot Soto love baseball, to be jerked around wherever they need a warm body, knowing he is never going to play in the bigs? Not that everyone here wouldn't have done it given the chance.
