  1. I am going to guess with the amount of time left in the Sox deal at Sox Park, that $50 million will roll off right about the time the lease expires.
  2. Company towns were horrible. The company owned everything and loaded it over employees.
  3. That was so awkward. Like Luis was NOT here for this.
  4. Getting anything for a dude that was an MiLB free agent this season is a win.
  5. In a nice consumable small sized package so that even people who don't want to actually read something can understand it?
  6. Well, when Colson falls apart, here's why. He got gregd
  7. Sure, because he already burned this franchise to the ground.
  8. Ok so it was a little more pulled, but I think it was more of a line drive. Still I think it was close than 50 feet apart.
  9. That was to the concourse. That was every bit as far as the Borchard record
  10. The question isn't the right question. You should be asking what happens if you don't offer incentives. This is exactly how Chicago recruited away a company like Boeing, and exactly why Motorola left the burbs.
  11. His arm is not good for that side of the IF more than anything.
  12. I think in general these generations care more about the results on the field.
  13. Payroll is not their biggest expense, especially if they now have debt service they never had before.
  14. It is would be criminally negligent to be the one community losing businesses because you are the only one NOT offering incentives.
  15. There is A LOT of that happening. I don't think people understand that so much economic development money is out there specifically for attracting and maintaining businesses. Literally in any town of an OK size, there are redevelopment and economic growth boards which use these tax dollars as direct subsidies for business retention and recruitment. There were companies lining up to pay Amazon to move. NYC put a $3.5 BILLION dollar package to get the HQ2, in just TIF money. That company is worth over a TRILLION in market cap.
  16. Do people not understand that? I mean think of your house. You can own a $300,000 house free and clear and have no cash at all. It's an illiquid asset. A baseball team is similar.
  17. I mean think he looked at what relievers were getting at the deadline and thought I can do that. The problem was 100% targeting an unproven 32 year old who hadn't got to his second full season for a kid who should be exactly the type of player we should be targeting. Just sign a free agent flip reliever like everyone else.
  18. Are you saying you need the announcer to tell you how to feel?
  19. Brooks misread that ball badly and then set a screen on Colson who had the read. Taylor never had a chance
