  1. these projects where private business gets public money always tout the jobs. the short term construction jobs plus the "permanent" jobs after the fact. yes, sox park has more seasonal day of game staff than full time posts, but 1000 or more people working is still better than none. in the case of the 78 proposal, we're also looking at the halo effect of related business on the site providing jobs as well.
  2. he's doing reinsdorf's bidding. location was just fine when they sold almost 3 million tickets without the dan ryan operating AT ALL for two full seasons. yes, there was a world series halo, but that team also won 90 games. and the 90 loss team in 2007? 2.67 million fans with the same lack of superhighway access.
  3. if he had stayed in baseball, i suspect he would have been in AAA in 1995, with a chance to crack the big league club that fall or in 1996. jerry would have loved to sell season ticket packhages with MJ's face on the schedule and media guide.
  4. Jerry said back in 2003 he thought Jordan would be a fourth outfielder type if he stayed. But Jerry also wanted Jordan to cross a picket line during the strike in 1995. So that killed any chance of Jordan playing in the league. That said, other baseball types including his AA manager Terry Francona said he would have made it. But no prediction on high the ceiling on him was.
  5. that's BS. they were charging MUCH more for CSN/NBCsn before you even factor in marquee.
  6. and now it's back to rabbit ears and less than 20k viewers.
  7. and how did you solve the audio only problem?
  8. Who is using a tube/SD tv in 2024? And if they were, they'd already know that they'd need a cable or satellite receiver to process digital signals, or a converter box for OTA. the feds spent a ton of money subsidizing DTV converter boxes back in 2009-2010. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. sides, you can buy a 40 inch tv now for around $100. When i got my 42 inch LG top of the line tv in 2007, it was $1600.
  9. yes. out of market games are carried on mlb.tv. in his case, ALL CHSN games will be on mlb.tv
  10. or...just make a deal with cable and streaming partners.
  11. johnson wants to use other people's money, a la the hotel tax. same as his bears quest.
  12. Harry worked until his death. He died before the 1998 season, when chip was coming into the booth to be his eventual replacement. The plan was for him to work less games eventually but 1998 was supposed to be a three man booth(as Harry still popped into the radio booth to call a few innings with santo). people forget, but chip carrey took a lot of crap as the Cub announcer. It’s not his fault he had to replace not only a legend, but his grandfather. I thought him and stone were a good team.
