I get into arguments alot

with my Cubs friends.(ish) Anyway I always say they should knock down wrigley and build it the exact same looking, only with upgraded bathrooms and clubhouse and amenities. The push back I get is you can’t knock it down, the shittiness is part of the charm. Okay then.

I mean the place sucks

It really does. Just get with the historical society and say you will build it the exact same way. Hell even use the old bricks! It’s a shit hole that makes dive bars look like high-end clubs.

Over the years people have proposed building

a new stadium closer to Lake Michigan…and keeping Wrigley as a historic landmark/minor league stadium.

It’s never gained traction though.

It needs to

maybe instead of being the highest payroll, they should focus spending that money for a new stadium. 1908 was great and all but it’s time to start looking forward.

The Cubs have been renovating it...but for some reason

it’s taking a hell of a long time to complete them all.

Heck the proposed Triangle Building they’ve wanted to build for years still is a century away from realistically happening…

That's awesome

I can never understand holding onto the past. I can see incorporating it into new designs and paying tribute to it, but not knocking something down because it’s old is dumb. Especially when it’s old and nobody takes care of it like they should.

by OKCardsfan on Aug 19, 2011 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

It depends on the building to me I guess

An old mall from the 1990’s that’s abandoned…tear that baby down! An old historic home build in the 1850’s that has historic value and can be restored for the same price it would take to tear it down…save it! (or move it at least!)

this +1000

there is no reason to destroy something that actually has historical significance and isn’t falling down and just needs some work. But, in the case of Wrigley, they need to just take it apart and redo it. It’s time.

Some of those buildings are cool

but some have asbestos and lead paint. I just don’t understand if you build a brand new building that looks exactly like the old one but has newer ammenities, bigger bathrooms, better run electric wire, etc. what the big fuss is about knocking the old one down.

I guess we're splitting hairs here...

if you tear down an old building to build a newer, nicer, replica…I’m ok with that. Tearing it down to build a strip mall or surface parking lot…barf.

I'm kind of impressed that Randy Wells allows so many homers with so little flyballs.

His HR/FB% is probably around or above 20% now which is pretty ridiculous.

We weren’t 6.5 games back when we played the Reds. If we even split with Milwaukee that means we have to play 6.5 games better than Milwaukee.

Well I look at it like this.

If we sweep them, there’s the deficit! We can certainly make up half a game.

If we go 5-1 against them, it’s only 2.5 games, certainly manageable.

4-2 – Well now it’s 4.5 games so it’ll take somewhat of a miracle or collapse from the Brewers. (Like getting swept by the Mets)

3-3 – 6.5 games? Ok now we need a Mets-esque collapse.

And of course if we lose the two series, I don’t see any scenario coming out on top unless we go undefeated.

I actually missed it, was it a caught stealing or a botched hit and run?

Our team currently has 42 stolen bases and 29 caught stealing according to B-Ref (not counting today). Not a good ratio.

At this rate I don't like it when any of our players are involved in a steal attempt or a hit and run attempt.

Well, other than Albert, because he has like, a +5 base running bonus or whatever.

LaRussa is not a Hall of Fame manager.

He was blessed with Hall of Fame players at every stop he made. And no, he did not make them into Hall of Fame players during his tenure — they would have been even if Jim Essian was calling the shots.

LaRussa will make the Hall of Fame, of course. But I would have liked to see an alternative reality which had him hired as the Pirates manager in 1996, rather than the Cardinals.

the only reason I am into this season

is because I’m following other teams b/c of fantasy baseball. I have never been less into the Cardinals than this year. I thought we were going to win 85ish wins at the start of the season and hoped I was wrong.

Same problems down the stretch for the last 4 years.

something just isn’t right with this franchise anymore. It’s probably the result of a complex combination of interrelated causes, including just plain old bad luck, but I say let’s finally tell Tony to get the fuck out of town and see if that helps at all. Worth a shot, right?

Until we dominate teams that are in dire straights such as the Cubs, and the others on the schedule, we’ve no shot at the post season.

what kind of legal assistance can you get?

are you still an unpaid intern (for once, this is not meant as a low blow), because it’s possible you could qualify for legal assistance if you contact your legal aid office. Try legal aid of Western Missouri (if you are still in KC?) and see what they suggest.

I mean, I’m not qualified to give legal advice, but I would fight them on this one if they’re gonna be assholes about it, while also throwing in any other complaints I had about the apartment not being kept up properly the company.

by mattyp on Aug 19, 2011 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

again, not qualified to give legal advice

so don’t take this as gospel or as what you should argue (contact someone at legal aid and see what they suggest) but this contract seems ambiguous on its face (two months and 60 days can directly contradict one another, but somehow they are treated as equivalent in the contractual language). I know in many states, ambiguous contracts are construed against the drafter. Furthermore, a finding of ambiguity will allow the court to consider so-called parol evidence, or evidence of verbal agreements or clarifications to the contractual language that resolve the ambiguity (in other words, when they told you 60 days was okay).

Finally, as people mentioned in the other thread, I believe Missouri has a duty to mitigate. That means they have to actively try to re-let the apartment, they can’t just sit on their hands, claim damages in the full amount of Septmeber’s rent, and then collect from you.

Whoa whoa whoa

I was just reading the “Expiration and Renewal of Lease” section, which I posted in that other topic

Here, in the “Rent” section:

“If tenant intends to vacate the premises at the end of the original term, then Tenant must give Owner a sixty-one (61) day written notice of such intent to terminate in advance of the first day of the last month of the lease term”

Does that mean if we told them by 61 days of September 1st, we’re okay?

Landlords can be such dicks sometimes

I had a landlord a few years ago try to keep ~1/2 of my security deposit on bullshit grounds. A friend of mine who’s a lawyer wrote up a threatening letter for me pointing out that in my state at the time (Indiana), if a tenant has to take a landlord to court to recover $$ and wins the case he/she is entitled to collect legal fees from the landlord even if he doesn’t actually hire a lawyer – he could just estimate what the legal fees would have been, which of course could easily run into a few thousand bucks. Of course they immediately backed down and gave me my money back.
I know many other states have comparable laws to protect tenants from scam-artist landlords, like allowing double or triple damages if the tenant has to go to court to recover $$. So if they try to keep your deposit as Sept rent, hopefully your state has a comparable law you could threaten them with. I’m not a lawyer and don’t really know any details beyond what I researched in my specific case and what my friend told me, but it might be worth looking into whether your state has that kind of a tenant protection law.

one thing i don't understand about this team is that it was constructed to be offensively minded

and yet Tony keeps making “defensive substitutions” that make the team substantially worse offensively. That gives our pitching staff little margin of error, meaning that we have to rely on people like Rhodes to be way better than they actually are because there’s little chance that the next inning of Theriot, Patterson, whoever is going to get any extra runs.

it’s like, if i were an opposing manager, i’d love to play the cardinals in innings 7-9 because i could almost pitch around The Big Three (especially when Tony double switches)

It seems like for every year Tony returns, the future of the ballclub becomes less bright. With a stable of talented young pitchers on their way up to the majors the next two years, the last thing I want is LaRussa and Mozeliak running this team with the fucking “win now” attitude.

Is some other team offering him a job. For either more money or in a better position to win (which seems impossible, given this is a terrible division, but Tony can’t seem to win here lately).

Supposedly the White Sox might.

But unless that happens, Tony is never, ever going to leave. He obviously desperately has a need for money, otherwise he wouldn’t have done those Ray Vinson commercials. Which are just embarrassing on so many levels. Worse than Jimmy Jonhson doing those Extenz commercials.

One wonders what Albert thinks about Tony these days.

What exactly has Albert said about wanting to play under Tony over the years? After watching Tony piss away the Cardinals’ chances to succeed this season and in seasons past, is he just anxious to get out of here? Does he like Tony? Would he even consider a ‘him or me’ demand or would that be too dishonorable for Albert to do that to his manager? We all know Albert is an astute baseball player.

Anyone have our record in xtra inning games this year?

Or even the last two years? Seems like we have been just fucking horrible.

by mick311 on Aug 19, 2011 8:33 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Or even just how many walkoff losses?

 I can only recall 2 or 3 walkoff wins this year,but a ton lost. Not that their is probably any importance to this stat, I am just sick of having to watch other teams celebrate, it seems like its happening at least once every road series we play.

Tony even went as far as to start greene in CFer in order to get his PAs so he can make the team out of spring training. Tyler Greene has done nothing but disappoint at the major league level.

So

Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is absolutely packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice with his new audience he asks if anyone would like him to play a request.
A little old Japanese man jumps out of his seat in the first row and shouts at the top of his voice “Play a Jazz chord ! Play a jazz chord !”.
Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie’s varied career, the blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes. When he finishes the whole place goes wild.
The little old man jumps up again and shouts “No, no, play a Jazz chord, play a Jazz chord”. A bit annoyed by this, Stevie, being the professional that he is, dives straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd goes wild with this impromptu show of his technical expertise.
The little old man jumps up again. “No, no. Play a Jazz chord, play a jazz chord”. Really angry now that this guy doesn’t seem to appreciate his playing ability. Stevie says to him from the stage “OK smartypants. You get up here and do it!”
The little old man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and starts to sing …..
 
 

" A jazz chord to say I ruv you…"

Why is six afraid of seven??

Six hasn’t been the samsince he left Vietnam. Every time he closes his eyes, he’s sees Charlie hiding in the darkness of the forest. Not that you could ever see those bastards, mind you. They were fast and they knew their way around the jungle. He remembers the looks on the boy’s faces when they walked into that village and… oh Jesus. He shouldn’t think about that now. Sometimes he still hears Tex’s slow southern drawl. He remembers the smell of Brooklyn’s cigarettes. He always had a pack of Luckys. But the boys are gone now… he knows that. It’s—it’s just that he forgets sometimes. And sometimes the way that seven looks at him… it makes him think. Sets him on edge. And he feels like he’s back there… In the jungle… In the darkness.

Seven has a hook for a hand as well, which is very scary.

Mysterui went on to get a full time job for Sporting KC which was eventually bought up by an EPL club

he was then transfered to merry old england where he created a footie statistic named VAR (victories above replacement) and made millions, while creating a bitter divide between “stat wankers” and “meatheads.”

He now spends his days in an alcholic haze with aranathor and felonious monk.

When WW got hurt

tpg did a fanpost where he proclaimed that he called the injury some years ago due to the Inverted W thing. And it typical tpg style, he went full-bore trying to say it with 100% certainty, although he had no data to back it up. He and AZ went at it pretty hard. If tpg had presented it a little differently and not immediately after the event, it might have gone differently. He had been doing this a lot lately. Some really epic threads.

It's not that unusual

Sometimes people just want to know that you’re still there, and that’s all they want. It’s strange. Happened to me, and my dumb ass didn’t figure it out as fast as I should, or at least as fast as I would have if I were detached from it.

Forsch was not easily forgotten

unbeknown to him his love got through & touch the cold, darkness where Tudor Fan heart once lived. Tudor Fan, now filled with hope & joy for the first time since his 5th birthday when his special Uncle Carl showed him the true meaning of life, went out into the Seattle streets & instead of killing the hobo’s like he did every weekend just so he could feel something, anything again, danced. he danced like no one was watching.

unfortunately someone was watching, the Seattle police where they promptly arrested him. you see Tudor Fan had gotten sloppy in his hobo killing ways & the last 15 were caught on ATM camera. he is now serving 10 life sentences in the super max prison somewhere in Colorado. where, some say it’s a coincidence, but i say it’s fate, his cell mate is named Carl. so you see, the story does have a happy ending.

in the end you find out that seattle police don't care about hobos

and that the real criminal…is society. also a gratuitous nude scene. er, many gratuitous nude scenes. me ‘n hobos with some tasteful lovemakin’. a little something for everyone.

for real though, i was writing a fanpost where you (gdm) were actually the spiritual embodiment of VEB who had come to me in a vision to remind us all of why we started posting in the first place. and to crash on my couch. i don’t know what happened to it. i may start it again.

chances are it was heavily reliant on what was topical at the time – rasmus trade rumors, etc. maybe a well-placed fever dream might bring me the inspiration to type it up again using new, more relevant themes.

how about this (just riffing here)

the VEB class of 2008 are the killers from the video all the things that i’ve done. our commenting lives follow the arc of the degrading success of the baseball team we love. in the process, we learn to cope with themes as responsibility and the despair of aging and the human condition.

also we have mustaches and wear hats. ok that’s just one idea. still working out the kinks…

He made a reference on Twitter today too but because of the fact that Wrigley Field is a cesspool without lights I wasn’t able to watch the game (so I have no idea if during the postgame interview he told TLR to go fuck himself and his shitty Allen Craig-in-center lineup or what).
