I think i read that Pabst was kicking the tires on acquiring Hostess.

It's only a matter of time until the Big 10 add two more and round it out at 16 teams.

@CNBC - BREAKING: Hostess and Bakers Union agree to mediation, preventing shut down.

Report: The Marlins broke verbal no-trade agreements with Mark Buehrle and Jose Reyes

Has anyone seen Lincoln? SPoiler free thoughts?

No more Hostess outlet store. Damn. that's how my wife and i stocked up on bread.

Bulls to build new practice facility next to United Center

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 01:18 PM) Wrong. With revenue sharing, they were one of the most profitable teams in baseball. I read one article that said they would have made $20 million if they locked their gates and didn't let anyone in. Correct. So, Loria got a free stadium, increased attendance for one year, made LOAD of money off tickets/concessions/parking, back loaded deals, then sold them off. He made an crap-load of money this year. Now, he'll have minimal payroll and still make money off tickets/concessions/parking and add in revenue sharing. So, he'll be making tons next year and not have to produce any kind of winning record.

@CSNMooney Loria blows off media at O'Hare Hyatt: "Not today boys. You haven't figured it out yet? I'm not going to figure it out for you." #Marlins

That makes sense, thanks!

Why do the BCS computers have ND ranked #1?

Has to wait until heals EEESH!! @EdBouchette #Steelers Roethlisberger said today it's so rare that the last time dr. told him it occurred was with rugby player in 1998 @EdBouchette #Roethlisberger's rib is partially dislocated and of more concern than the shoulder. Don't look for him to play in awhile. #Steelers

QUOTE (59th street @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 09:56 AM) Also all new stadium projects have some form of public financing involved. If you don't think the ricketts family has tried to get every possible $ out of the City and State (taxpayers) then you are not being honest. Technically, AT&T Park in San Fran was privately financed. There were some tax breaks and such, but the $350+ million in construction costs was completely financed by the Giants.

Free stadium payed for by the tax payers (where the Marlis esentially keep ALL concession and parking revenu) Reboot the franchise with a new name (Miami Marlins), logo, and colors Spend MASSIVE money to try and fill the stadium Pander to the Latino croud Hire a hot manager Sell it all off after one year. This isnt about rebuilding. This isnt the "right way" as you call it. This is a 100% greed move by Loria to fleece the Marlins fans of their cash and laugh all the way to the bank..

I am officially retiring my Florida/Miami Marlins apparel and renouncing my fandom.

Giancarlo Stanton most likely wont be traded, but he wont be back after he is able to sign elsewhere. Anyone know the terms of the lease the Marlins signed for Marlins Park? I havent been able to find it anywhere.

$10-20 million payroll + free stadium + revenue sharing income = $$$$$$$$$$$$ in Loria's pocket

"Mike" Giancarlo Stanton is pissed. Sox, go get him!!!

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Nov 13, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) I dont think the bulls are as bad as some guys here make them out to be. They dont have to break the record for most wins in a season, they just have to stay afloat long enough for their star to get back to playing and then its anyones ballgame from there, I can see the bulls being dangerous in the playoffs with Rose being super hungry with visions of his tragic Adidas commercial playing in his head. I have said since the off season that I think the Bulls could easily be the #4 or #5 team in the east when Rose comes back. Then all bets are off.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2012 -> 08:26 AM) I refuse to fly anything that is within 5-6 hours drive. By the time I get to an airport, go through security, wait for the plane, etc, etc, it is the same amount of time to drive, and way less headaches. My wife and i have this argument about trains. She really wants the commuter rail line between Chicago and Iowa City to be built. I keep telling her it would take just as long... and possibly longer to get to her family near Iowa City by train... oh, and we wont have a car when we get there.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) The biggest issue would be the military as Im pretty sure the side that is staying wouldnt want to give up their toys. Its not 1860 where you can just give humans guns and call it an army. Before a country secedes, the US military removes all flying aircraft from the state. Good luck!
