    Wisdom, really? What's the over under on the number of pitches it'll take for him to K? I'm going with 5.
  2. gflore34
    There's no reason to use a "real" lineup tomorrow.
  3. gflore34
    Seriously, their whining after getting all sorts of balls called strikes tonight?
  4. gflore34
    After this loss no reason what so ever, to not play PCA, Canario and Morel tomorrow and Sunday.
  5. gflore34
    Given the Cubs playoff hopes are slim and none, think Ross will let the kids play? PCA in CF, Morel at 3B? Or, are going to see more of his Dusty Baker-ish devotion to playing the veterans who suck.

    Will the Bears get booed right out the tunnel? There's a very good chance, in any case, the cascade of boos will really ramp up after they go three and out on their first series consisting of three runs. I do believe if Justin has any chance at all it's not with Getsy as the OC so, I'm torn between wanting see anything positive or a horsefeathers show that gets him fired.

    He's just as ****** as Fields, although, I think Fields is a little more accurate, is definitely faster and may have a stronger arm.
  8. gflore34
    After the Bears lose this game with yet another pathetic display of offense. I'm thinking Getsy' gone on Monday, wouldn't shock me one bit if whomever takes over has more success by simply realizing they have to target Moore 10-15 times a game.
  9. gflore34
    Fortunately, this isn't a Trubisky or Fields situation, no major, basically, incorrect-able flaws.
  10. gflore34
    Think he's the real deal, some of the other youngsters were impressive as well including Marcel Marcel. Granted it's preseason and the Blues were short-handed nevertheless, Bedard is good.
  11. gflore34
    Looking at next season anyone see closer potential for Little? Made the Braves look helpless with several nasty sweepers or sliders, in addition to a 95-98 MPH FB.
  12. gflore34
    Yeah, Fields and the Bears are terrible, with this take, he searching for extra negative horsefeathers, what nonsense. They're bad enough without him making up stuff.
  13. gflore34
    I don't know how the Bears can get out from under this whole they ruin QB's dialog. True, lately, they've drafted flawed QB's and been unable to coach to their strengths or around the flaws. Lucas said it himself, if Mitch had gone to the Chiefs things would have been improved however, because of his deficiencies, his ascendancy would have been capped. The Bears didn't create the flaws of Mitch or Justin, they didn't coach those things into either guy.
  14. gflore34
    Never going to happen, their smoke and mirrors shtick will not carry on to the playoffs.
  15. gflore34
    Now, there's literally nothing for the Braves to play for, they've clinched the top seed. Think there's still a real good chance the Cubs leave Atlanta a game up on the Marlins.
  16. gflore34
    Honestly, the Marlins lineup is...not good. It's an example of the oftentimes weirdness/randomness of baseball as to why they have a winning record.
  17. gflore34
    Lindor with a 2 run HR! If the Cubs can manage a win tonight, with the Marlins getting swept...
  18. gflore34
    I'm there with the benching, as long as it's Getsy.
  19. gflore34
    Didn't Jacque Jones miss a fly ball in Houston? Think I remember Dusty Baker saying something about the ball being too high or some other nonsense as to why Jones missed the ball.
  20. gflore34
    The point is, at the moment, regardless of the plan, the Bears are one gigantic cluster horsefeathers. Something has to be done to make the Bears close to some semblance of an NFL team. Enough of this Benny Hill show we've thus far, been subjected to, this kind horsefeathers is inexcusable. Even bad teams, with terrible QB's can manage to look competent.

    I don't know, that's what confusing, Poles' half-assing it for a QB he doesn't see as the future.
  22. gflore34
    That's fine, I'd like to think Poles wasn't on board because he saw the flaws in Fields' game but, also wasn't sold enough on any of Young, Stroud, etc. to pull the trigger. So, he rolled the dice on Fields with an eye on 2024. Though, given his moves, Poles doesn't appear that smart, that's the sticking point. I'd also expect a complete reset on the coaching staff as well, I think there's something to Eberflus being foisted upon Poles.
  23. gflore34
    Thus far, it appears the Bears are intent on running Fields off so Poles is able to draft his QB. Then I'm certain we'll see Poles aggressively try to create best possible environment for his QB, that is, attempt to do all things he should have done for Fields. What a kick in the balls that'll be to Fields. Should that come to pass, I wouldn't mind seeing Fields hook on somewhere and come back to beat the Bears maybe, for added emphasis, in a playoff game. I know it's a business and all but, there are better ways to go about making your QB prove he's the one. Hell, I don't know what's wrong with straight up honesty, I'd said Justin needs to prove he's our QB.
  24. gflore34
    As former coach, okay, it was youth lacrosse, I don't understand this whole narrative around Getsy and the Bears staff not trusting Fields to execute. I had kids of all skill levels, some who could catch the ball, some just starting who couldn't catch the ball, nevertheless, in the drills and games. I always stressed trust in your teammates, keep passing the ball to them regardless of the outcome, sure they'll often drop ball. However, by continuing to show trust in them, they'll eventually catch the ball, helping them gain confidence and good things will happen. Likewise with Justin, there's no reason whatsoever to dial it down, simplify, not try plays for fear of him failing to execute. What's the worst that could happen? They've already lost 13 horsefeathers consecutive games, it's rock bottom, there's no place to go but up. While it's ultimately up to Fields, the staff could help by trying to facilitate his confidence. Because, the staff holding back, etc. will certainly destroy whatever faith Fields has in himself.

    I did see that, as you stated he's been more effective of late, so, White Sox 8 - 7 sound good?
