  1. For me it was the Diaz HR, quite literally, the only positive thing that clown did as a major league player. The highlight of his short career.
  2. It might be my imagination but, I remember the Marlins acting like they'd just won the horsefeathers WS after that Weathers game.
  3. Why not? Worked for the Marlins in '04 when Weathers, in a spot start, with next to nothing, managed to shut down the Cubs. '04, perhaps, the most frustrating, disliked Cubs team ever.
  4. In fact, polar opposites, Fields is a health nut.
  5. 1) - and it's not even close.
  6. I'll take it but, there's got to some movement on SP, give Wicks a start, maybe, provided he's ready to go, Brown as well.
  7. is it time to move on from Jenkins? Too much of an injury liability, in 34 career games he's played in 19 of them, with this current injury he's likely to have played in less than half of his games as a Bear.
  8. Really that's the MO of media, most especially the Chicago media, don't know what's it's going to take for it to change. Fields could go 28-35, 450, 4TD's, 1INT, in leading the Bears to win and we'll still read about the pass that was intercepted along with him missing open receivers on various plays.
  9. Because you know, Mahomes or Rodgers, NEVER throw ****** short passes that are caught and made into something by the receiver. Whereas, every short pass or, pass, for that matter, that Fields attempts is horsefeathers in the air. Holy horsefeathers horsefeathers.
  10. Was going to write something along those lines as well, I could see the offense not clicking immediately, may take some time. Once it does, I believe we're going see an explosive offense, it'll be such that we've never seen as Bears fans. No more boring 17-19 points, clock management, generate turnovers, etc. BS.
  11. Well, there's a flip, the past decade plus it was the Illini with the fucked up football program, not anymore.
  12. Plus maybe, just maybe, Taillon is beginning a regression to the mean so, this in hand, along with Stroman and Steele, gives the Cubs the upper hand on the mound, in what, nine of those fifteen games? Perhaps, Hendricks or Smyly might throw in a good start or two and it's conceivable the Cubs could win 10 or 11 out of 15.
  13. I know, WTF?! On top of this Fulmer pitched in a high leverage situation and managed not to blow the game for the Cubs double WTF!
  14. Regression to the mean, it was bound to happen, well, at least, for one night anyway. Watching the highlights, appears Morel had just got under a couple, almost had Rodon squared up twice.
  15. While I was writing I had the same thought about lack of options, my post was born out of frustration, and also, knowing last nights loss is almost certainly going to be followed by another tonight.
  16. Once again Ross has shown his ineptitude regarding bullpen management. How many horsefeathering times does Fulmer has to show that he cannot be used in high leverage situations? Not saying the Cubs would have won in extra innings but, Ross' use of Fulmer never gave them a chance. Now you're almost certainly looking at another loss tonight which would have been less harmful had they won yesterday. I'm ready for Ross and Fulmer to both be jettisoned into the Sun. On the other hand sure would be nice if Taillon' starts regressing to mean with tonight' start.
  17. Think there's a good chance the exit velocity of Tauchman' FB was greater than Madigral HR.
  18. Then there's Miami with negative run differential and 11 games over .500.
  19. Being in Michigan I'll occasionally watch a Tigers game, just don't get their announcers obsession with Baez. Defensively he still quite good that's not a problem however, offensively he's terrible, certainly, worse than he was a Cub. I'd be more excited with Riley Greene than Baez. Maybe, it's the wrong take on my part, he's having a good game tonight, defensive gem in addition to a 3-run HR so there's reason to gush over him tonight. Guess I happen hit Baez' good games but, I swear they cream in their pants to Baez.
  20. Did the clock finally strike midnight on the Heat last night? Because straight up basketball they've no chance, in a long playoff season, the pixie dust can enable a team like the Heat to go far. However, at some point, the pixie dust goes dry and it comes down to ability and who has the better players.
  21. Given his lackluster to terrible returns do we really want Hoyer making anymore trades?
  22. In a clean up role with the game out of reach, sure, just wait until Ross brings him into a high leverage situation, he'll find a bat. Unless, of course, the above was a sarcastic quip then, yeah, he's awesome.
  23. Got it, I'm with you, sure improve the linebackers and secondary but, to just pass on the DL like he has is akin to his leaving Fields out to dry last season.
  24. Meant given Poles actions it appears getting to the QB is not a priority hence, the question about his knowledge of the defensive scheme.
