    That's a real possibility they've got two very good starters and very suspect bullpen, at some point, reality' going to set in on Franklin, Miller, et al it's coming you can almost feel it.

    Like Andres Blanco? ...and someone who can hit.

    What about moving Z for a major league ready SS prospect, I'm talking about someone with range and a non-noodle arm?

    Given Cubs' wins mean nothing, I gladly would have traded a Cubs loss for a Bears win.

    Why is that a bad call? I would think people would have been more pissed if he ran up the gut for like the 8th straight play and got stuffed. People would have asked why they didn't try to run outside. If you catch the defense right it can really be an easy score (see USC last night). That said, Forte wasn't running to the outside very well all game, I'll admit that. That's why I thought it was a bad call, seems to me Lovie sticks with something too long.

    I'm still PO'ed a the outside Forte run on second and goal from the 3, TD there and the Bears win.

    He had a great view while having his head down motioning to Wolfe. But the point is that the 5 yard flag wouldnt have given the Bears a first down and they would have punted anyway. Wouldn't the snap to Maynard draw the same penalty? It'd probably take longer than a snap to Wolfe.

    How the [expletive]? We outplayed GB. Every stat but the score (and INT's) were in our favor. Really, if we just cool it with the turnovers and direct snaps to the RB, we'll win those games. First game of the season, lots to clean up. Cutler may have been the worst thing in that game...and we all know he can play. He had a terrible game tonight. Next one will be better. I believe so as well Steelers and all.

    Loved Collinsworth and Michaels pointing out the Packers did a better job on Wale as he was being held, even on the TD pass they all but ripped his jersey off. Worst secondary in football, without question, also, the 2nd down play call from the the Packers 3 was dumber than the short snap to Wolfe.

    If Edgar Bennett emerges as a big time WR I hope the Bears either trade for him, or sign him as a free agent! Of course, I meant Earl Bennett! Bears playing the Packers, having flashbacks of Edgar Bennett being their Jeff Blauser.
  12. gflore34
    Anyone else think that as the season progresses Edgar Bennett is going to emerge as a big time WR? I believe the key for a Bears win is the DL, they've got to get some pressure on Rodgers, that'll hide a terrible Bears secondary. In the preseason I saw recievers wide, wide open everytime the QB had a chance, I don't believe that'ds going to change in the regular season.

    Are we sure about either? I got to think Miles is a certainty, Gregg' got to be close.
  14. gflore34
    What a joke you are Gomes
  15. gflore34
    There's two positives we can count on in 2010: Miles and Gregg won't be Cubs.
  16. gflore34
    At least he won't be available later in the game!
  17. gflore34
    Another misplay by everyone's favorite SS.

    There is zero need to look for a "leadoff hitter." In an ideal world Fukudome and Bradley are already slotted as the #1-2 hitters for the rest of their time in Chicago. I wouldnt hold your breath on that one happening. Bradley is a middle of the order lefty DUDE, he isnt a number 2 hitter. Lou has been willing to have Bradley bat 2nd a lot, what he hasn't been willing to do is have those back to back lefties at the top of the order. I'd like to see what a 1,2 of Fukudome and Bradley could do over a season, they could be the answer to the prolonged scoring droughts the Cubs have undergone this season. If they proven anything it's they get on base, them on base in front of Lee, Ramirez and a bouncing back Soto will generate a lot of runs. Of course, it's not the ideal L-R pattern Lou would prefer but, I believe it'll be effective.

    I don't think there's a need to waste money on Valverde, Marmol without the WBC classic in this off season will be just fine as the closer in 2010.
  20. gflore34
    Side bet, anyone think we will gain a game on the Cardinals again this year? I'd like to think the Cardinals are prime example of good team playing over their heads for a month and due for a big time let down in October. But, that kind of [expletive] only happens to the Cubs.
  21. gflore34
    Considering both are having career years at 36 years old, I can't see both Fraklin and Miller continuing the 2009 success beyond this yr, especially if Duncan leaves as some thing he might. I gotta agree, I know its the Cardinals, pixie dust, Duncan, juicing what have you but, bullpens are fickle things. Success one season doesn't necessarily mean success the next, most especially when the parties in question are having career years, that's why it's called a career year.

    Maybe the knee has been a large factor in his terrible season, I like the fact he's undergoing the surgery shortly. Hopefully, the plan is to shut him down, send him to surgery and send him home to begin preparing for next season. I'd be willing to give a 100% Soriano another shot but, I'd also have another solid option if he doesn't show anything within the first two months of 2010.

    It's probably petty on my part but, I'm going to enjoy it when he implodes on the Rockies in the playoffs.
  24. gflore34
    As far as the Cities there's no comparison but, didn't you know the Cardinals' fan base is the best in the history of sports fan bases?
  25. gflore34
    And what historical evidence leads you to this conclusion? Not any but, its my hope the new ownership is going to dump Hendry and find a GM who knows something about building a good baseball team. When you look at the Cubs core of Lee, Ramirez, Soto, Fukudome, Bradley, in the hands of a good GM, there's a potentially really good baseball team.
