    Why wouldn't they at least wait a few weeks to not waste an extra year of control?

    Some teams suddenly care about having the best 25 guys on the roster, service time be damned. There were a few other guys that made the majors this week in similar situations.

    Update. I've been reading the different sites and nobody is believing the Chicago cops, lol. Yeah, right. So the country is behind Jussie. Good for the country. Frickin' amazing. Please, FBI, keep this case alive. Chicago deserves better!

    LOL. What sites are you reading? TMZ? I've yet to hear a single person behind Jussie. Rich and famous people live by different rules than the other 99%. Case closed.

    You're comparing the wealthiest of the wealthy to your own life experience Greg.

    In the past, these were just called "donations" and usually involved some sort of building.

    This sums it up well:
     

     

    The problem is that while Huffman and Aunt Becky are rich, they aren't rich enough. $500k wont put your name on a building or get your kid in school when there is an endowment of billions of dollars. You need maybe 8 figures for these top private schools, Dr. Dre knew how to do it.

    Honestly they shocked me with how they adjusted after Q left. It took them about a month but once it clicked they went from literally worst team in hockey to almost the 8th seed. If you play a whole season like that, this would have been a mid tier playoff team. Obviously the D and goaltending really needs some work,  but wow what a difference. 

    On a side note, does this team miss Hossa or what. He retired and everything fell apart. 

    It makes you wonder if they screwed up but not making the coaching change in the offseason. In no way am I saying Colliton is a better coach than Q, but this roster was ready for a change, and maybe they should have given Colliton the whole offseason if they liked him so much.

     

    And yes, Hossa was so important. Got all caught up in the contract stuff, it was easy to forget how awesome he was,  on both ends of the ice.

    Please, just drop it. They misread the market, the entire organization sucks ass, things are terrible and the rebuild is faltering bordering on failing. Reading the same inane shit over and over is just nails on a chalkboard, you're not making a difference or bringing a new take, you're just stuck in a time loop. Congrats, you're angry, the other morons like myself that frequent this board already know the talking points, you're just screaming into the void. You're gaining absolutely nothing from this shit.

    Sorry, but that's bullshit.  Until this ownership and front office is gone, it cant be talked about enough. The whole fanbase is being treated like a bunch of idiots. The only reason Eloy and Moncada are here is because this same front office couldn't compete for a playoff spot with two Cy Young candidates in the same rotation.

    There is a lot of Paulie/Kyle/Cara drama this season but if you can get past that the season has been what everyone has asked for IMO

    Agreed, this season has been great. Perfect blend of drama and competition. 

    The UK group has made it interesting.  Paulie and Wes have the two strongest teams but they don't have the numbers so it may not matter.

    Yeah, let's not turn Palka into Micah Hoffpauir. He was the Cubs version of Palka and their fans loved the guy during their rebuild. 

    Lol, epic name drop there. I remember Hoffpauir.

  8. My wife's sister had her and the siblings do one of these DNA tests as a gift for her Mom to show where they came from.  The genealogy was as expected, but there was a 50 year old man who shared their DNA and was related, yet nobody had any idea who this guy was.  After some asking around, it turned out my MIL's sister gave birth to a child during college 50+ years ago and immediately gave it up for adoption. It was never talked about again and forgotten about until voila, 23 and ME brought it back.
