D.O.B : death of bat/bird…
Filed under Baseball, basketball, shake my head moment...
With the NBA season just started, there have already been many crazy nice plays that would make a highlight reel. Although in this case, the highlight may have P.E.T.A. thinking they would want to indict Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio spurs for his actions on Halloween night that saw bats come out to play…
It seems like people find this funny… what do you think?
This makes me think of another animal slaying during a game, although this time it was by accident. The odds…
Chapter 11 for the Chicago Cubs…
Filed under Baseball, Teddy Points of view..., shake my head moment...
First, Chicago losses bid for 2016 Olympic Games and now they learned that one of their 2 baseball teams is filing for Chapter 11, protection against bankruptcy. To the naked eye some may think that this franchise is in difficulty but to the trained eye of Teddy Points 
I see what’s really going on here… It’s kind of the same situation when George Gillett sold the 2nd most profitable Hockey franchise (Montreal Canadiens) earlier this year because he needed the liquidity of money to be able to avoid bankruptcy in his other businesses. But in this case, the bankruptcy of a healthy Chicago Cubs franchise that has drew over 3 million spectators to 95-year-old Wrigley Field in each of the past five seasons, is merely a legal manoeuvre to avoid the team from any future liability in the Tribune bankruptcy. Yes, you heard right, the owners of the Cubs, Tribune Co., have filed for bankruptcy on their company back in December of 08. Tribune Co. was smart enough to file for Chapter 11 on the Cubs making them a separate entity because the Creditors were looking to put up the franchise as collateral while seeking the 13 BILLION dollar dept Tribune has. The Cubs net worth has been estimated at around 900 MILLI not quite enough so pay everyone back but by separating the two, Tribune Co. may be able to keep some of that Moula in their pockets.
How bout them apples!!
*side bar: there might be a buyer… Incapital LLC Chairman Tom Ricketts, just might put Up the 900 Milli Tribune Co. is asking for, that’s one hell of a bargain price from the 20 Milli Tribune paid the Wrigley family back in 1980…
If it wasn’t for all the bankruptcies, I would have said that Tribune Co. really knows how to stretch a dollar!
expo des EXPOS
Filed under Baseball
I was recently looking at a blog called Truth Of A Liar, it is not at all a sports blog but rather a very good lifestyle blog. Interstingly, i came across a great post by Chris Is A Liar about an event he went to in N.D.G. (Montreal) “Expo Des EXPOS” held at Sub-V. Designed by Denis Raby of Color Yeah, the exhibit was a showing of memorable Montreal Expos players from the 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s. A year in the making, to Chris, the project was quite impressive. Hand painted on wood cutouts of the original players baseball cards. The exposition will be held until the end of this month, I will be dropping by there very soon, make sure you do as well.
Thank you Chris for sharing your great find…
