Packers loss aside, this is going to be a good season. I just know it.

    I was thinking the Cubs convention was closer to spring, for some reason. Maybe they do two? I don’t know.

    It’s always in January. Most free agents are signed by then so they have a good idea of who to market. The pitchers and catchers report in mid-February so it really does have to happen after the holidays and before then.

    The Hope Monster traditionally gets a good mid-winter snack during the Cubs Convention.

    The Hope Monster still has a giant hoard of Brian Roberts trade morsels packed away for future seasons. He’s prudent like that.

    @ josh:
    Wasn’t that big of a deal. Whereas at Cubs con you’d have at least an outside chance of cornering Tom Ricketts and finally nailing down who owns the Chicago Cubs.

    @ Suburban kid:
    I….uh….think we may have had different experiences.

    It was mildly uncomfortable for an hour or so, sore for about a day (but on the plus side: opiates), and then I don’t have to drop $1,000,000 for another kid to go through college. Small price to pay my friend.

    @ josh:
    Also, finally a valid excuse to sit around the house and do nothing for 2 weeks! I honestly don’t remember the pain at all. It’s already a distant memory that I don’t have to think about. I would, however, not be able to say the same about an extra child.

    @ josh:
    It was creepy and hurt a lot during the procedure, and then I could barely walk afterwards. Maybe the……discomfort…..didn’t last that long, I can be a bit of a drama queen.

    Not arguing the benefits obviously.

    @ mb21:
    From what I understand a torsion causes mass swelling and tenderness. Soooooo…..yeah. Also, a vasectomy is sometimes required to correct it, I think, or surgery of some kind.

    @ mb21:
    Yeah, I talked to Aisley at the last one. I enjoyed talking to Dempster, Rizzo and Brett Jackson for like 10 seconds each but the rest of it was just wandering around and waiting in lines. The seminars were cool, but then I realized that “hey, the beat guys are going to report on this in a couple hours anyway”.

    Thank goodness I got in for free.
