I used to think F*** the cubs every time I would see a cub hat or bumper sticker or whatever. Now I just think "good pick" and dont blame them for being cub fans. We have to be the worse franchise in professional sports history

Dont forget about pitcher Lloyd Allen, I dropped my glove from the stands in the outfield during warm ups and he was shagging fly balls for whatever reason and he was nice enough to toss it back to me

We are guaranteed last place Whats the worst W-L record in modern baseball?

Are you listening JR?

Let the Chuckie Robinson era begin!

60-75 MILLION over what time frame?

Jerry or Tom Ricketts? Yes totally light yrs ahead

True, I cant blame anyone for being a cub fan these days.

Id love to say "who cares?" but truth is while I dont care what the cubs do in offseason, I only care during the regular season and that is to lose 100 games

Watch he gets hurt 3rd game and is out for season

In defense of athletes, to those who constantly case on them calling them a**holes who do nothing but get arrested and do bad things, I dont have the numbers of all the active players on NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS and NBA but its easily at least 1500. ANd how many do you actually hear that get arrested etc? 1%? Its like plane crashes, you only hear about them when they happen, you never hear about all the successful landings That being said, I dont discount the bad athletes (kind of like Clevinger) who give the industry a bad name

I'll let SSHM finish yr rant with more detailed info, should be some great talking points

im friends with quite a few people who dislike sports w a passion due to the "spoiled rich athlete" who are prima donnas. This signing sure to give them more ammo....

All these marquee names we are signing should boost attendance like a muther

I wonder how much longer until we get a Billion dollar contract in sports?

Ive got relatives who are 100% canucks and they all spell Canada Cehnehdeh

Would he get paid with Loons?

Yes the State tax is collected via IDOR. Illinois Dept of Revenue. I should have specified

Was it here I read that if JR sold while he was still horizontal, the capital gains tax would be around $200Mill plus whatever IDOR would need? Thats a lot of quid going to Uncle

I thought same, all staged

I thought same, all staged

Back in about 2000, I think Kelly was being interviewed on the score. For whatever reason the convo had something about getting puled over by the cops and whats the first thing you should do. Kelly said the first thing he did was hide his crack pipe!!?

What no Albert Belle?

I gotta think the other GM's are looking to fleece Getzie due to his inexperience

Knowing JR, my moneys on some unkown communication major 23 yr old right out of college who will work for 50K Its the White Sox way
