    Pin it on the Cubs, of course!!!! How about the fact that Buckner on two messed up knees still managed to drive in 106 runs, would the Red Sox have even been in that WS without Buckner? Looking for someone or something to pin the blame on? About Grady Little for not replacing a less than mobile Buckner at 1B?

    Mike Brown the Mark Prior/Kerry Wood of the Bears however, unlike the Cubs, I don't believe his loss will cripple the Bears.

    A-Rod back at SS, re-united with Piniella, wouldn't surprise me at all if put up Pujols like numbers from SS...

    Most definitely, the Cardinals were better prepared and came out to play but, after the first quarter, the Bear defense stepped up. Cardinal Offense: 1st Quarter - 7 1st Downs, 107 total yards Next 3 Quarters - 10 1st Downs, 197 totals yards If Lovie and Turner wouldn't have gotten caught up in trying to put on a MNF show and Rex hadn't gone into total gunslinger mode. The Bears might not have needed two scores by the defense and a special team score to win.

    I believe Grossman has a little of the Farve-like gunslinger in him, of course, at times, it'll be costly however, more times than not, it'll result in a big play. I haven't seen such an approach from a Bears QB since McMahon, just not used to seeing this from the Bears QB or offense.

    If the only TD's the Bears are going to allow are of the garbage-time variety, I'll take it...

    Hey Yankees - Best Offense Money Can Buy + Crap Pitching = 1st Rd Playoff Loss

    Pretty pathetic that the supposedly objective Announcers are pulling for the Yankees or it was Miller' attempt at Post Season drama.

    To the Cards, we all know, Hendry' incapable of pulling off such a shrewd move.

    I'm certain they'll be some Aaron references but, does anyone think they'll be any Macallan references?

    I was holding out hope that the Tigers would pitch and play as they did earlier in the season however, it appears they're continuing to play as they have over the last 50 games - 19-31. Unfortunately, the Tigers are going to get swept, great, more ESPN/Fox Yankee orgasms...

    While I'm glad Dusty is being shown the door, I too, remain very skeptical of Jim Hendry' ability to field a competitive team. A quality GM with the resources such as Hendry' doesn't give us a team of composed of the Freddie Bynum's, Neifi Perez' and Glendon Rusch's of the Baseball World.

    Goodbye Dusty and take Pierre with you!!!

    Cards back in, Braves just beat the Astros 3-1.
  16. gflore34
    As terrible as the Astros and Cards are it wouldn't shock me if either made to WS, I can remember a .500 Mets team making it in '73 (or '72 or '74, one of those years the A's won three in a row).

    Bruce, if you re-visit or, if anyone knows the answer, I'd really like to know why a MI must bat 2nd... A cursory examination of retrosheet looks like Dusty has almost always batted a mif 2nd in the order. Oddly enough the only time he didn't for any extended time was when he had Bill Mueller at 3b and Kent at 2b he batted Mueller(lifetime 373 obp) 2nd most of the time. I say oddly enough because that was a great spot for Mueller but it wasn't really a "Dusty type" move. Also in 2004 he batted Cpatt (293 obp) 2nd more than anyone else with DLee next. Other than that some of his favorites have been(all mif): Robby Thompson (329 obp) Agonz (303 obp) Jose Vizcaino (318 obp) Neifi (301 obp) I know Dusty played for Lasorda in LA, maybe even a little for Walter Alston, wonder if they had a MI in the 2 spot for their lineups?

    Great calls from Joniak, did anyone notice Alex Brown knocking Brad Johnson on his ass after the fumble recovery?
  20. gflore34
    I believe the closeness of the game was due to the Bears' failure to execute, how many red zone possesions came up TD empty?
  21. gflore34
    A sack here would be nice...

    What I find interesting is while the Vikings have seemingly improved while playing two teams who, at the moment aren't much better than the Packers and Lions. The Bears have "only" played two lowly teams and haven't shown any improvement over 2005 at all. That's just wrong. The Packers and Redskins are far better than the Packers. The Packers at best are maybe the 30th best team in the league. The Lions are a 6-10, maybe 7-9 team. The Seahawks game was a bit of a fluke and the Seahawks haven't shown that they're clicking now either. I just can't wait until Sunday so I don't have to keep telling people that playing at Washington and Carolina at home is much tougher than at Green Bay and Detroit at home. Use some common sense people. Still, the Bears are the better team and with no hesitation I would bet on them going farther than the Vikings and being the favorites for the North. Sure, when Steve Smith and Clinton Portis return the Panthers and Redskins are far better than Lions and Packers however, currently, they're not too good.

    Seconded, I saw the clip of his news conference, it was heart breaking to say the least. Best Wishes Jada, Derrek and Family...
