Berroa with more hard contact...Colas 50/50 chance to pull it in. Almost hit off Oscar's head. Looks like it did on replay. Mistimed jump at the wall.

Another reason not to push Colson. Trips to CLE MIN DET in April.

Berroa FB way too straight and poorly located. 96 and BP. Looks like the Cubs didn't need Bregman. Got Cowles Workman Shaw Cassie.

Still think starting Colson opening day is not very wise from a financial standpoint...but now there's hope again young players might sign early extensions if merited.

Nicky Lopez error lol.

Colas swing way too long.

Colson bomb to center off a veteran lefty. Low and away fastball slightly pulled. Easy power.

Melody Hobson 30-40% ownership in same limited position...merely a financial investment, seemingly.

The "cash crunch" excuse should be out the window with Ishbia injecting some life into the franchise. He's smart enough to know Robert is their biggest asset to manage well now.

Robert with a sky/sun-aided double Jaguar Alcantara couldn't pick up. Should probably have been caught. Brad Keller and Nicky Lopez mentions.

If Reinsdorf family shares are up to 20-25%....that's roughly $450-500 million (depending on how controlling shares are valued), and a touch under $100 million in taxes.

The throw from Robert jumped up on the hop to Meidroth...then he semi-panicked with his throw home.

Meidroth not much of an arm to home there. Ends with a routine G/O to Colson.

Montgomery is going to need more range than that to his right. Comedy of errors again. 5-0 already.

Triantos looking hitterish. This looks familiar lol. Workman has to make the team or be offered back to the Tigers.

Montgomery blown away on a FB. 5 k's already out of Steele. Going to have to get used to inept offense yet again.

Nice hands and quick release...

Tauchman Vargas Drury k'd. Robert opposite field single...Thaiss swinging bunt to no avail.

"Absolute truth here. I had a dream last night, something about being in the s%*# business. A way of maximizing profits was to start offering s%*# sandwiches. It was important they be wrapped in wax paper, just like when I was a kid. Also, they needed to be cut in half diagonally. I wasn’t sure if they should be made with smashed patties or a spread. I think this dream popped up because of reading about the Clevinger signing before going to bed. The Ishbia move may be much ado about nothing, but at least it provides a basis for hope. It is the opposite of a s%*# sandwich." A bit coarse, but this SoxMachine commenter hits upon the sentiments of most. Hope is eternal. That trace even mere figment of hope felt completely lost recently.

No to Guerrero because no guarantee he keeps up his production as he ages...then all of his value has to come from his offense. $340-400 million for that future uncertainty? No way. Dylan Cease haha? Bo Bichette, Kyle Schwarber, Luis Arraez, Marcell Ozuna, JP Realmuto and Eugenio Suárez are some of the other notable position players in this class. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/top-10-mlb-free-agents-for-2025-26-offseason-vladimir-guerrero-jr-leads-list-plus-contract-predictions/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjO8c-OvdeLAxXdL9AFHRXWA_EQFnoECAsQAg&usg=AOvVaw050X5aMPxEyZOsKsoOZmzY

https://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=34772995 Matt Ishbia has totally mismanaged the team. The Bradley Beal ... CougarBoard 2025年2月7日 — I like Beal as a player but definitely not at $55M per for the next 2 yrs with a no trade clause. ManicBlue. Feb 7, 1:02pm

“The move to free Suns games on TV tells me a lot about his long term goals of moving the Suns into the more large-market category. Emphasis on long term. It would have been easy to just sit and rake in the profits, a lot of owners do that. Worst ones go full Moneyball. He wants to expand the business even if it means taking a hit in the short term.” By and large, a lot more positive than negative comments here. The ugly Bradley Beal situation proves that Matt Ishbia's reckless spending ruined the Suns As soon as Ishbia came on board in Phoenix, he made a commitment to spending. A few months later, they traded for Kevin Durant, and the following summer, they made a move for Beal. At first glance, this was great. Ishbia was the type of guy who was willing to spend to make the team better. That’s the type of owner that every organization wants, right? Wrong. Ishbia was so eager to flash his cash in hopes of improvement that he (and James Jones) ignored every other important aspect of building a basketball team. And now, they are paying the price for it. https://valleyofthesuns.com/phoenix-suns-bradley-beal-situation-proves-matt-ishbia-ruined-team-jimmy-butler-nba-trade-rumors-no-trade-clause-reckless-spending

"Does having a huge payroll really increase my chances that much of winning the championship?" Steinbrenner said. "I'm not sure there's a strong correlation there. Having said that, we're the New York Yankees, we know what our fans expect. We're always going to be one of the highest in payroll. That's not going to change. And it certainly didn't change this year." In the wild-card era (since 1995), 21 of the 30 teams to win the World Series ranked in the top 10 in Opening Day payroll. However, just three teams since 2009, the year the Yankees claimed their last championship, have won the World Series ranked in the top three in payroll: The 2018 Boston Red Sox (first in the majors), 2020 Los Angeles Dodgers (second) and 2024 Dodgers (third). https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/43955690/hal-steinbrenner-no-edict-spend-less-yankees-payroll

Number of conference championships won by Cleveland Cavaliers Cleveland Cavaliers have 5 Eastern conference titles to their name. The Cavaliers maiden title came in 2007 by defeating the Detroit Pistons and their last title came in 2018 by defeating the Celtics in a 7 game series. LeBron James was part of both the teams and led them to all five of their conference wins in their history. Cavaliers defeated the Celtics after being 0-2 down and this was Celtics’ first defeat after being 2-0 up (40-1) record. LeBron averaged 35.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists after going 0-2 down and annihilating the Boston Celtics.

Wouldn’t you know how to spell your supposed cousin’s last name correctly, then?
