What do you think? Do you think they'll be suited up today and doing any workouts?

You'll probably want to wait until tomorrow
On the news yesterday (think it was Giangreco) the player's first workouts will be tomorrow.

There's other real sports
The Wolves are 22 games over .500 and the Rush look to be very competitive again, their season starting March 3rd at AllState.
I can't wait to see Kosuke-san join his new team. Hopefully the weather will be good on the 29th-2nd when I'm there in a couple weekends.

Anyone watching the hearings? Did you see Clemens lawyer shaking over the Nanny thing? Pretty damning. I can't wait for them to release the testimony of the other players this afternoon. It's going to be a lot to digest.

Beagle, a Breed Long Unsung, Wins Best in Show
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Uno became the first beagle to win best in show in the 100
times the Westminster Kennel Club has picked a winner.

If Snoopy can win after 100 years of losing, that surely must be a good omen for the Cubs, right?

Thank goodness
- Jettisoned Cliff Floyd, Jock Strap Jones, Craig Monroe, Angel Pagan, Jason Kendall, Steve Trachsel, Wil Ohlman.
- Brought in a decent and cost effective 4th starter in Jon Lieber.
- Landed Kosuke Fukudome, exhibiting patience and discipline in the process.
- Dealt with the distraction of the ballclub still being up for sale and himself therefore being a lame duck.
This Cub team is looking good. Improved lineup, improved defense, deeper starting pitching and a potential dynamite bullpen. The Milwaukee Brewers scare the bejeezus out of me and the Cincinnati Reds are coming on strong too. But competition is good.

Bud Selig wants Canning to be the guy. Canning will be the guy with the highest bid in the end. I say that with 98% confidence.

There was one statement in there
"In recent years, the Cubs have failed to consistently make money, according to a person familiar with their finances..."
That's not the conventional wisdom among fans....and I wonder if it is true.

But
So it would seem that this "person familiar with the finances" of the team is either only familiar with the non-kosher numbers, or, conventional wisdom has been wrong all this time.
Then again, profitabiity may not be a concern to potential buyers.

"Turner Financing"?
The Cubs may produce enough revenue for WGN (and Comcast Chicago) that the team's financial performance on its own is not that significant.

If she thinks 162 games are too much
I can't stress that enough. 162 games a year by X number of married years = ?????? how many games? If she can't handle 162 you're in for a long marriage. Think this through.

What about Dish?
We subscribed about a month ago to Dish satellite TV. We got the 200 channel package (with WGN) and the sports package which includes Comcast Sports Chicago (along with a BUNCH of other regional sports networks like FOX, SNY, etc).
So my question is this: Will we actually be able to SEE Cubs games on CSN or will they be blacked out? We're in mid-Michigan and our regional team blackout would seem to be the Tigers, rather than the Cubs.
Does anyone have experience with this?

Let's not get too excited
But I was very excited on the day pitchers and catchers reported back in 2006 - and look what happened afterward. Same thing in 2005, 2004, 2002, 2001, 2000 - etc. etc.
I really am excited - can't help it. But I like to keep my hopes on the low side.

Pending Cubs Sale Question
Obviously the MLB team and Wrigley Field are for sale.
Will a legitimate bid include all of the Cubs minor league teams and their minor league-owned ball parks and facilities?

Perhaps Sam Zell could then start promoting naming rights for official Cubs buildings there too!
He missed out on a huge TribCo promotional opportunity today by not offering to sponsor the official Congressional Baseball "Tribunal" Hearings!
