which, of course contradicts nothing that wrote. All we have heard from the complicit media is how awash the team is in cash. Nobody would believe they didn't have money this off season, even as they told you they didn't have money. They had to entice Mrs. Zobrist to cheat in order to find a couple of quarters in the couch to even make a deadline move.

The ownership has taken on a lot of debt in quite a few far flung endeavors over the past decade. While they may be good long term investments they are pretty clearly causing some liquidity issues currently.

$221,750,047

deny the truth of (a statement) by asserting the opposite.

How can a team be cheap, (which I believe is what you are saying) and have a 221,750,047 payroll?

He is not saying that the Cubs are cheap. He is saying they are spending plenty of money, but they are spending it foolishly on hotels and rooftops and thus are not able to devote more resources to the pitching the team is so desperate for.


How many times did you piss on a toilet seat before someone told you to lift the lid?

_________________

GD is saying they are cash strapped by loans, I dont see it.. Their payroll is massive. It will be massive next season.

_________________

You can't be serious. How much more cash do you think a team should spend? Remember you are a fan of the White Sox who thought it was too much to pay a superstar in his 20's this offseason.

Thats why i think we can get cole, we're dropping 59 or 60 million this off season. We can afford to toss him 6-160$ and won't even feel it. Id like to trade Schwarber, Russell package for an arm and resign Castellanos.

Are you of the belief that it is Theo that is restraining spending?

They keep telling you they don't have the money to spend and they tell you why they don't have the money to spend.

Cmon GD, youre a married man.. You'd be living in a 2 room shithole if you let your wife n kids spend at will. Of course you gotta cry poor every so often to keep thongs under control.

The White Sox have nothing to do with this.

Actions are louder then words. They spent the money when needed to get to the playoffs.

Can't think of any players they passed on besides Harper because of money. Turns out to be a smart move not signing him.

White Sox no, but the fans yes. You and GD worried about the Cubs not spending enough is comical.

thanks for ruining my thread

The current blue jersey can go away forever. The 80's blue is fine, the baby blue is fine but this blue sucks.

fuck Ricketts for fucking up traditions.

they won a world series in that jersey. its not going anywhere. they do need another home jersey, however, and they need to embrace some throwbacks or create something that looks like one.

No, the Cubs should only wear white at home. There are too many uniforms nowadays. Imagine throwing a no-hitter on Fighting Prostate Cancer For The Troops Day or whatever.

I don't need more event days. I just want some cool looking jerseys. that series @ boston and that all dark blue with the white lettering. holy shit, let me see that every sunday

I agree action speak louder than words. They only found money because Zobrist abandoned his job.
