  1. I was on a Southwest flight from Midway to Philly with Andre Iguodala before, you are correct.
  2. And then potentially million's in maintenance, hangar fees, gasoline, insurance etc. Jets aren't just a $1m plane and a $200k pilot, it could be $4M a year to own.
  3. I ran into Ken Griffey Jr. at Orlando Airport last year and he was waiting in TSA line at the United Terminal. Not every rich person flies private jets every time they travel, most wouldn't be rich any longer.
  4. And wait until the next time two massive 26 year old free agents are available? No thanks, get me one of these guys and turn this thing around. There is minimal interest in this team as is with the fanbase and it needs a kick.
  5. Agree with the above from a negotiating standpoint but there is something to be said about going first when you are jamming long meetings into a small time frame like this. The clients are usually refreshed and ready get to understand the product but often times the meetings become dull and repetitive towards the end.
  6. I think she’s from Cuba, she’s probably not happy anywhere during the winter
  7. 1. Juan Uribe 2. Frank Thomas 3. Paul Konerko 4. El Duque 5. Mark Buehrle
  8. Ok so if the Sox need to throw in a few million to move him, so what? That is a pimple on their rear. We are not the most enticing place to play and Am surprised people can’t just respect the move to try to make the end goal happen.
  9. I don’t understand why people cannot understand the simple concept of your first sentence. This isn’t a terrible move and he can be traded at any point if Machado doesn’t sign. Jesus.
  10. There’s clearly some cabin fever here. For the people saying this move is awful...uhhhh, you could just trade him if Machado signs elsewhere. This is not a big deal whatsoever.
  11. These guys live a different life than everybody else. If I work at a fast food joint and the underachiever next to me is making $2 more, I'm going to push for more. If I'm in sales and the underachiever next to me continues not to hit his/her numbers and is making $20K more, I'm going to push for more. I get it but It's all the same, these guys can set up generations of family members.
  12. I have no sources but I just assumed that he said something to Boylen or GarPax and they told him to F off. What a joke this team is.
  13. I understand the tension but everyone relax. Nothing there says we are out, no need to try to go any deeper than what was actually said.
  14. This is how a proper sales pitch should go. Discuss the product and it’s potential and make sure it’s the right fit, then you talk price.
  15. I would have to imagine that this is such a big deal that both Machado and Harper may wait until later in the afternoon to make announcements to make sure it gets the most airtime from people home after work. Not at 3PM central time.
  16. There is no questioning the signings haven't been ideal to fit Hoiberg's system but this shouldn't be surprising whatsoever. The Bulls show no effort on defense, Stacey King wants to explode calling these games. If you do not have the talent to score and keep up with these elite offenses, you better slow the game down and play a little D, they have not shown they could do this under Hoiberg.
  17. Why the white hate on this post? It's mostly the liberal's own media pushing that agenda. Let's be real, if you shoot somebody no matter what color you are, you have some type of mental illness and/or are just an all around POS. Anybody with a brain knows that We do not need CNN to tell us you are mentally ill or a great student.
  18. Agreed but then I remember that this is not the Bears of Old. This is a system that randoms have the opportunity to come in and play solid to great.
  19. I'm sure they are behind the scenes but if not, I wouldn't really call that a problem. You rarely see those guys pay up for major free agents just like the White Sox. If Miggy signed with Detroit after his trade, it's not out of the question to get a marquee player to Chicago.
  20. There are still professional players out there that don't want to join super teams and want to be the alpha. Lets hope Harper and Machado are two of them and see something special brewing here.
  21. Here in La Grange is filled with Cub fans that don't even go to their own team's games.
