    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.

    Does anyone still have hope for Olt? I want him to be rizzo 2.0 so bad.

    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.

    Milton?

    Seriously!? Av talk in THIS thread? Javier Baez is getting called up, boys! It is on!

    I think that's because this board sees him as a better hitter, which may end up being true, but the other guys are doing it as infielders. Also, the injury thing. But I think position is the bigger factor.

    I have a fourteen inch titanium rod in my leg to this day from a similar injury THE DAY AFTER I graduated high school ('95). Doc said it was the cleanest break he had ever seen, my leg was beyond 90 degrees to the outside just like this, but didn't break the skin (though it pressed against skin and stretched it abt an inch) Friend tried to take my legs out "play at the plate style". Put his shoulder through both of my leg bones. I rolled onto my back to flip myself up, and foot flopped to the right (right leg). I was enough in shock that I didn't feel all the pain I should have, until paramedic straightened it out to put in cradle and on board to carry me to ambulance. Doctor didn't set the small bone and didn't cast it, as the rod was "much stronger than both bones combined. The day after surgery (removing kneecap, drilling out tibia, inserting rod, replacing patella) they had me on crutches, trying to put ever so slight weight on my big toe. I passed out and threw up, in that order. In 2 weeks and 2 days I was walking with a cane. Giant calcium deposit that acts as a barometer, but beyond that, no trouble nearly 20 years later. Until I saw these pictures. Now I am reliving every moment.

    Listen to the man, Billy. Darwin Barney is of immeasurable value. Do whatever it takes to get him. Maybe he should realize that requesting Barney start when he pitch was part of the reason he got such minimal run support. That was my first reaction as well.

    I understand that, I guess it just hit me that how bonifacio was used may be exactly how alcantara will be used. It's the specificity of roles that is standing out to me today. Clearly I'm late to the party.
