  1. Here we go. I have my weed seltzer and ready to watch the Cubs. Head for the mountains!!!
  2. This is the warm-up game to tomorrow's Skeens vs. Horton.
  3. The Bears have a legitimate shot to win the next two games - the Cowboys and the Raiders. Then it looks pretty rough the rest of the way. They play the Steelers on November 23rd, and could win that game. Realistically, they have a shot at a number 1 pick unless things change drastically. They could be playing the Browns on Dec. 14th to see who wins the first pick.
  4. Eight horsefeathers minutes into the game and the Cubs are down 2-0.
  5. I’ve totally gone Kyle on managers. I’d lump him in with the vast majority of them. They’re mostly interchangeable outside of Francona.
  6. Man, I just turned on the game and it's already 3-0
  7. The Bears likely start the season 0-2. The NFC North is a tough division.
  8. That’s great. It was a pretty ugly exit
  9. I'm probably squarely in the mode on Jed. He's not awful, he's just mid. But he and his team picked a winner in Horton. I've been wrong about many things, but I HATED that pick when it was made. That's probably the most wrong I've been about Jed. It looks like they have an Ace in the making for as long as his arms hold together.
  10. Their mold for a player is “solid but unspectacular”.
  11. I didn't watch much after the first quarter. And I'm going to go full meatball for a second. Why can't they call plays to force him to make quick decisions? Like, runs some 8 yard route quck slants and outs and tell him to fire the ball. Just keep doing that until the defense softens up. That's what Tom Brady did for 10 years. He learned how to get rid of the ball quickly first. It seems so easy from the comfort of the couch.
  12. I was thinking about trying to find some recent examples of teams limping into the playoffs and winning, but really, who cares? They could be coasting because they know they are in and using this time to recharge and get ready for the playoffs. It's all I got. But they do look a little crispy around the edges.
  13. Dare I say so far, so good? Or at least better than the Cubs
  14. Trying to think outside of the box, here. With Plancia on the question mark list, why not move Horton to closer?
  15. Although he's from the DC area, Calib has a SoCal laid-back persona. That's all well and good if he's performing. If he's not, it comes off as lazy or "having an attitude". He needs to do the easy things well first. He's not done that yet. The reasons are many and varied. Hopefully, they are on the right track.
  16. Yes, if everything goes well in AAA, they will use the Horton blueprint with him. What the hell happened to Jordan Wicks?
  17. Yes, I think it's important to keep an eye on the big picture during times like yesterday. The Cubs are a good team even when they aren't playing their best baseball. There are no great teams this year during the regular season. The playoffs are an entirely different season, so getting in is all that matters. We all know that they refuse to exploit the advantages they have over the divisional competition. It doesn't change the calculus even when Plancia is doing his best, Zambrano.
