  1. I know the whole Summer remains and the Cubs have a pretty good chance to be a a playoff team. But, damn, I wish we could fast forward to the Fall, there's an excellent chance the Bears, for the first time in a long time, may have a real NFL offense, it's like a Haley' Comet sighting. Can't wait...
  2. When will Cassie be an option? If he is, would DH be the spot?
  3. I'm going to go out on a limb and say if walk 9 Cubs they'll score at least one run.
  4. At least the Brewers lost, so another game off the calendar with no ground lost.
  5. I've had my share of Arraez, two hits, with average EV around 80 mph, talk about slappy.
  6. Mastrobuoni, like Mervis, is a AAAA player.
  7. And, of course, he calls a strike on a border line pitch to Hoerner.
  8. Today's bold prediction - Mastrobuoni gets his first hit of the season.
  9. I'll give him this his name is awesome, from Baseball Reference - Jurickson Barthelomeus Profar - nevertheless, did not know he was a highly regarded prospect. Quick glance at the numbers would suggests he's not very good.
  10. Glad they returned the favor and beat those fucks in ball-breaking fashion. Profar? Seriously? That clown has a WAR of 1.3 already, his career best is 3.0 in 2022, he's giving me Tony Womack vibes. Mediocre to bad player having a career or hot year although, I don't think Profar is going to sustain this current success.
  11. Another one tonight, go Stars, the lesser of two evils.
  12. Seconded, was rooting for the Leafs, thought for second Pastrnak may have been offsides but, wasn't close. Would have been hilarious had they lost when that puck bounced off Wotherspoon, would have been very much deserved and absolutely fitting.
  13. On the whole they haven't been great, lately, though, they made some good pitches inducing soft contact that's finding holes. We all know that's randomness of baseball and will even out over the course of season. It's just frustrating to watch the Brewers win a game with a bunch of dribblers and bloops, it'll come around and will happen to the Brewers as well. Who knows, maybe, it'll be a key moment late in season costing them the division.
  14. Ross is nothing special, yet, all of Mervis' swings were feeble and pathetic.
  15. Okay, how two runs? Is that asking too much?
  16. Any kind of a run here would be acceptable.
  17. Key is getting that first out without the runner advancing.
  18. I'm calling it, Happ goes deep this inning
  19. Besides Tauchman the team wide hitting slump is one thing, there's no excuse for this crap-ass defense this has got to stop.
  20. Looking more and more like he'll never be able to make it at the MLB level, he's the very definition of a AAAA player.
  21. Even more frustrating some of it is on hanging breaking balls and fastballs right in the zone for most left handed hitters.
  22. Swanson' recent inability to make routine plays is growing really horsefeathers tiresome.
  23. I'll take average, as we know this would be a significant upgrade for the Bears. Realistically, with average play at QB, this team should put up a shitload of points. I figure anything beyond average is gravy that's how low the bar is for a Bears QB.
  24. It's really getting tiresome to hear all the talking heads on NFL network drone on and on about what a great situation JJ McCarthy is entering. I'm probably being selfish because all I want them to talk about is the Bears draft and, in the end, all their talk is worthless, still, seems like they're spending an awful lot of time talking about JJ McCarthy. For the record, Caleb Williams' situation with the Bears isn't too bad either. Okay, re-wind, delete above was written before I saw this - Who won Day 1 segment - https://www.nfl.com/network/shows/good-morning-football# - he's correct, they won't be Super Bowl contenders, they'll be competent to good, no more QB looking like a deer in headlights waiting to be sacked, no more, they are done being your whipping boy Green Bay, Minnesota and Detroit.
