Ride or Die

Well hello, I'm glad you all received the honor of my presence today..

 

I'm a Cub fan, yes, that is right, a Cub fan.. Those clowns haven't won a World Series since the Ottoman's were in control and since JR was 4 years old..  Since 1908 this fan base has waited and nothing, nada.. Yet, I love that team more than I love fluffy nipples..  I fly to Chicago, St Louis and watch three to four games a year and to date, have followed every game online or on TV.  It cuts deep. 

 

Also, I'm a Panther fan, I love this team, ride or die I'm with them.. It was a pain in my ass to root for the Skins before Carolina got a team so, I'm thankful I have a hometown team to root for.  Things will get better, maybe not as soon as we all want but they will get better.  The flack the FO has for sure seen in the media is more than they have ever received before and you can bet your sweet ass they are watching and are embarrassed about it.

 

We all, on this medium of communication are all kindred spirits, we root for a team and we root hard.. In this fog of uncertainty and frustration let me quote a former player whose jersey will one day be retired at BOA and maybe even a statue. 

 

Ice up Son!

Anyone who follows a team based on wins or losses isn't an actual fan. We could be 0-15 and I'd still be out there trash talking and repping my Panthers for our final game.

 

PS: These people saying DA should start are a cancer to our franchise and should be excommunicated.

I was at two of the Marlins/Cubs NLCS games in 2003. Went to 53 Marlins games that year. Bartman was a scapegoat for Rodriguez's errors. That is all.

Agree with you 100%

 

By the way, I lived in Lincolnshire, IL and worked at Hewitt Associates at the time.. Wanna know who else worked there?  Steve friggin Bartman.  He never showed up for work and actually fled the state.. People were idiots about it.

I was also at game 4 of the World Series when a young Miguel Cabrerra took Roger Clemons yard after he threw at his head. Then Alex Gonzalez took Weaver yard for a walk off in the 12th. Still the single best sporting event I have ever been to.

Cabrerra signed a ball for me about 5 weeks into his rookie season with his original #20. Got that bitch in a safe deposit box.

There were three people who reached for that ball. Bartman was the unlucky SOB. And it wouldn't have been that bad but fuging Alou bitched about it and brought attention to Bartman.

That dude has been offered millions to be interviewed but has declined.   It wasn't Bartman's fault that Prior hung an 0-2 fast ball to IRod and he smacked the chit out of it.  

 

In all fairness, I broke a TV the night that it happened but it was more because of Agon and less about Bartman.   Imagine this though SCP.. What else happened that year? hmmmm?

Fan interference and kickoff out of bounds all in the span of a calendar year. The Cubs/Panthers fan combo is not for the faint of heart.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
