Neither am I, bring them on, the whole dread of a possibly hard schedule is load of horsefeathers. There's way too many variables, a team can literally go from good to bad, bad to good, there's no way, for the most part, team X is going to bad or good before the games are played.
-
Yeah, he's held quite a bit, doesn't get the calls, had his name been Garrett, Parsons, Hutchinson, etc. he'd probably get more calls.
-
Despite the highlights being against NFL-lite players he appears to have a quicker burst than Dexter. I liked Dexter, just think he may be too slow, think its why 2-teams were so effective and why he has problems stopping the run.
-
Wholeheartedly agree, don't hold against the players who desire to be functional after football. I do have a problem with what Gordon appears to be doing. Dude, if you appreciated the Bears, you should have retired well before the draft.
-
I beginning to wonder if we'll see, with the Bears, the football version of what's playing out with Cubs? That is, an overwhelming offense coupled with a defense that couldn't stop a HS team. All those talking regression with Caleb are in for a big surprise, I've no doubt he and the Bears offense are going nuclear on the NFL. The only problem is the NFL may go nuclear on the Bears' defense.
-
The reality is Cabrera has the stuff to dominate, whether he can get hot for a few weeks is the hope.
-
Exactly, just retire, don't half ass it, go through the motions, just quit.
-
If it's in reference to Gordon sure sounds like he didn't or isn't really working to get back.
-
Given the Bears continuing narrative of "soft tissue" injury I'm having a hard time giving Gordon the benefit of the doubt. As you said, it's "I've lost the desire to play football", if that's the case, then horsefeathers retire. Bears don't gain anything by cutting him otherwise, he'd be an x-Bear, he probably already is an effective x-Bear. Poles deserves a lot of horsefeathers, he's horsefeathered up way too much, I'll give him a pass on Gordon. Don't think it's possible to glean he's a once I get paid I'm checking out dude or dud on draft day.
-
As been previously stated, just get in, all it takes is someone getting hot - Cabrera, Palencia, Zeferjahns - and the Cubs could go on a run.
-
Don't really trust Boyd, he's slightly worse than Shota, Cubs haven't won a Boyd start in nearly a month. How about flipping that tonight?
-
I thought the same, watching the condensed game it appears they were, at least yesterday, facing the Brewers version of Shota. Low 90's FB left over the middle of plate, basically on a tee.
-
I'll go out on a limb and say Zavion Thomas will not only stick but, will make an impact.
-
Be awfully horsefeathers nice to delay the inevitable Brewers are the greatest team ever assembled piece from Trueblood by winning tonight Cubs.
-
It's got to be back issues again, wouldn't think? Man, back issues stunted/ended Bryant' career, doesn't exactly give one confidence Conrad will ever be healthy for a prolonged period.
-
It's my whacked up idea of trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
-
I'd pencil him in at 1B tonight. Busch is really slumping and why can't the Cubs, for once, catch lightning in the bottle with a call up? Every other horsefeathers team pulls this horsefeathers out their collective asses, why can't the Cubs?
-
All of it? What about moving Busch down in the order?
-
What do people think about, tonight, playing Shaw at SS, Nico back to 2B and moving Busch way down in lineup to 8th maybe, 9th?
-
Wasn't calling you out, just making a point the some are putting too much stock in the greatness of the Phillies.
-
It's been the running theme all season with Cubs' pitchers of course, he had an injury setback. Don't know why there's any doubt.
-
People are way overrating the Phillies, I'm not saying the Cubs will surely beat them. But, they're not some unbeatable super team, their not overall superior to the Cubs and are very, very, beatable.
-
Money may have played a factor. I truly believe that all gesturing, etc. about this team or that team having a shot at Yamamoto was a load of horsefeathers. He, like Sasaki or Ohtani, was going to a be a Dodger from day 1, it was done deal.
-
In games you really need to win Shota is absolutely un-pitch-able. The only context in which he should be pitching are blowouts or, if some miracle occurs, and they're able to clinch before the last series. I'd be perfectly fine if yesterday was his last start as Cub or even, appearance. Regardless of what happens he's a former Cub after game 162, no way does he make a playoff roster.

What "soft tissue" problem not calling for surgery can be so crippling? Just WTF is going on?
