    Did Aliendo leave the Cubs for FA?

    It’s a system problem. In other sports the talent distribution is flatter. I’m college football it’s concentrated. Every year there are a handful of teams in each conference that are better than everyone else. But (at least right now) the talent is getting more distributed with NIL money. One way to fix it would be to cap NIL funding and distribute more money from conferences to schools so each school has the ability to compete. Does anyone think that will happen, ever? So it’s probably best to scrap the whole system and use some sort of soccer style tier system and have the handful of good teams play each other during the regular season to see who gets into a playoff. Big10 teams beating up MAC schools and SEC schools beating The likes of Troy and Southern Miss are no fun. Most weeks there are one or two games worth watching in the major conferences. And some weeks there are none.

    Poles hasn’t lucked his way into this, but he’s incompetented his way into this and deserves nothing more than praise for doing the bare minimum and not saying no to an obvious choice to coach this team. The best thing that can happen is that Johnson takes more control of personnel decisions moving forward.

    Agree.

    They have a great run blocking line. They have a better than average pass blocking line. It’s time for Caleb to step up. The wind conditions weren’t optimal yesterday, so we can’t be too hard on him.

    Not the best analogy, but I'm thrilled the Cubs are building the barn gate after the horses got out.

    Green Bay has at least two non-Bears losses in their remaining six. Lions probably only have one. I'm not going to make a guess on the Bears. I want to believe, but I can't.

    Good trade for both teams, each has more value and provides more flexibility for the new teams. I'd love to see the Cubs do something similar. My hunch is that Jed is playing for beyond next season, and none of the OF prospects will be traded.

    His #1 claim to fame is that he was so bad in 2003, the Marlins brought up a 19-year-old infielder to play LF.

    Go Broncos! If they win at Yipsi, they will be in the MAC championship.
  11. CubinNY
    They are doing what they should be doing, beating lesser teams and even winning against an equally matched one. I listened to the postgame interviews, and Caleb gave a balanced appraisal of his performance. The needle is definitely north, regardless of what happens on Friday. The Lions and Packers are not much better than the Bears right now, so it should be a fun six-game series to end the year.

    He also doesn't put the ball where it should be often enough, but he's getting better. He's doing exactly what everyone wants him to do. He's learning from mistakes and making incremental improvement. The Bears might not be as good as their record (but they are), but they are getting better. In the NFL, coaching makes a measurable difference.
  13. CubinNY
    They need to give him fewer starts during the course of the season, that's all. Take a page out of the Dodgers' playbook.
  14. CubinNY
    God damn it Im starting to believe.
  15. CubinNY
    Don't count your chickens. I would not be surprised if in five years the college landscape looks a lot different than now. They could have tiered leagues and divisions with no conferences.
  16. CubinNY
    I wish I could get into hockey. I used to love playing on the lake and watching games live when I was in college, but I can't get into it when I watch on TV.
  17. CubinNY
    They met with Boras at the winter meetings and likely made a best offer, but it won't be in the ballpark. Looking back on it, if Cam Smith turns into something, it's a wet fart trade.
  18. CubinNY
    Any owner could have given him that contract. The Cubs apparently weren't interested in doing that, if you believe published reports.
  19. CubinNY
    Chris Morel was DFA by the Rays
  20. CubinNY
    Yes, a generally ****** weekend of college football before the big Thanksgiving week matchups.
  21. CubinNY
    I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. You must be ecstatic with an 82-92 win team. You argue that they are good enough. My argument is that they are not good enough. 6th and 4th is quite an accomplishment.
  22. CubinNY
    I don't think Jed and his team are totally incompetent, so I have to believe they factored in the possibility that Shota would take the offer. If this is true, it shouldn't stop them from their plans. In other words, I don't think they'd play chicken with $20M just for a compensation pick.
  23. CubinNY
    "Were" is doing the work there and again, being the tallest four-footer is no great accomplishment.
  24. CubinNY
    They have to get some slugging on this team from somewhere. Ideally, they'd probably like to get via OWNKC, but he's got a lot of K in his game. I don't really buy it until it happens, but it's good to hear they aren't shying away from the top of the pitching market. I'm not convinced that they can thread the needle and break out from a division contender to WS contender.
  25. CubinNY
    According to something I read (not going to link, b/c the site is unreliable), the Cubs are inching closer to an extension with PCA in the neighborhood of $100M.
