    Alexi Ramirez better than DeRosa or Theriot? I think someone is breathing too many Sudafed cooking fumes.

    The Chicago Police Department is notorious for it's overestimating of crowd figures.

    Just another of the reasons why the Cubs won't win in '08

    I don't feel that you came off like an ass in any of the posts. You explained your position far better than the Crede fan did. Also, I don't know how you can claim that Crede carried that team in the '05 playoffs. Their pitching did the heavy lifting throughout, leaving guys like Scotty Fabulous and Geoff Blum to hit game winning HRs. It's amazing how Sox fans like to discredit Cub fans baseball knowledge because of the atmosphere at Wrigley, then on the other hand claim that Crede is the best 3B in the game without a debate. Laughable.

    I know it's Steve Philips giving us the information but why wouldn't the White Sox need Sabathia? If they think they can rely on Vazquez, Contreras, Danks and Floyd to get them into the playoffs, they are sorely mistaken.

    The Tigers will catch the Sox and win the division...handily.

    Wasn't DFB signed to a 4 year contract? I'd be surprised if Jocketty hangs with him that long.

    I checked out WSI for some laughs and ran across this gold nugget: The horrors of tourists coming to Chicago and actually visiting a part of baseball history. I don't think anyone was intimidated, dude, just ignoring you while celebrating a Cubs win. A concept which seems foreign to a majority of Sox fans - celebrating your team's victory instead of rubbing it in your opponent's face.

    It's fun to see Sox management and the fanbase spiral out of control - a sweep tomorrow night should keep us entertained for the remainder of the week.

    When Tiger can sink a 12 foot putt with a backdrop of people waving and screaming, then we can start comparing him to MJ.

    Lighten up, Francis.

    How did he swindle them? Sure he sucks but NY should have known that and not signed him. I'll bet if you were in Trachsel's position you would sign the contract also.

    I think the originator of this thread is actually Mark Buerhle.

    It's amazing the short memory of Sox fans. They're discounting the Cubs because they are beating the teams they should beat and winning at home - which is exactly the formula the Sox used to get off to a big lead in 2005. Boy, if the Cubs do win the World Series this year, that board is going to implode.

    That was good for a few laughs. I just love reading comments from Sox fans, they give credence to the stereotypes: I agree. The Cubs can't win on the road therefore in my opinion they will be Completely Useless By Summer. Sox take 6 from Cubs and there's a 14 game losing streak in June. Sox may win division Cubs finish LAST! Posted by: Jim Charnot | May 27, 2008 11:25:41 AM

    Trading for the second pick is not going to happen. Especially including Hinrich in that scenario. Hinrich (11.2m) and Nocioni (8m) are Base-year compensation players until June 30. Which means that his salary counts as half towards the Bulls while the full amount for the team receiving him. So a team would have to take on their whole salary while giving up a player or pick that is significantly less.

    Yes, if they feel that will lead to a greater revenue stream in the long run. If they feel that it'll be more profitable by some math I don't understand, then no. Owning the stadium gives the owner flexibilty to control the revenue. If some third party owns the stadium, then there will have to be a predetermined lease that the Cub owner has to honor, because nobody is buying Wrigley without it. Also, think about it- if there is a third agent who makes a profit from the operation from Wrigley, then that's profit that doesn't go to the Cubs ballclub. If there is no profit to be made from the Stadium, they why own it? Having the right situation with a stadium can be very profitable, and having the wrong situation with a lease can be a money drain. Look at all those teams that have been in bad financial shape and have blamed their lease situation. Forget it. I don't want a Cub owner who doesn't own the stadium. Period. I agree and just to add, I wouldn't want an owner who is stupid enough to not want Wrigley in the deal.

    Unless you're bidding to buy the Cubs, I'm pretty sure none of us are going to see or find out what's in the book.

    If you mean solely the blame, I'll give you that. Baker has to take a lion's share of the blame though for overworking both Wood and Prior. As for Game 6 and 2004, he gets all the blame - it was his ship and he didn't bring it in. Good riddance (now if someone will kick Hendry out the door...)

    Gee, and Baltimore fans wonder why they suck every year in and out. Until Angelos stop meddling around, Baltimore won't be a very good baseball team for awhile. Angelos is a George Steinbrenner wanna-be. They won't be good while MacPhail is seemingly running the organization. What did he do for the Cubs? 4 winning seasons and 2 playoffs appearances in 14 years. And numerous passes on free agents that would have made a difference. Commodore Sweatervest is living off a reputation for 2 World Series in Minnesota when the core of those teams was already in place when he got there.

    The White Sox stadium deal was on life support until Thompson stepped in at the last minute and saved the Sox from going to Florida. I hate that guy for that.

    Did I say it was a term only Sox fans use? It sounds stupid when 38,000+ fans say it. I know when I hear it coming from their mouths, it's not endearing and not flattering.
  25. jiml60
    Cubbies is right there with Lovable Losers. Both are terms Sox fans like to use to denigrate Cub fans.
