    How would you have preferred the two way tie for the final WC spot to be resolved? Exactly how it was, but the Wild Card series should be a minimum 3-game series. Winning 1 game to qualify to play another 1 game is just dumb. 1-game tiebreakers are just fine, but 1-game playoff series aren't.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    It sure seems silly that a 1-game tiebreaker leads to a 1-game playoff elimination.

    I'm still intrigued with Dave Martinez, although his hiring would beg the question of why he wasn't even interviewed 2 years ago.

    You've got it right, they need to ask the Yankees for permission to talk to him about the job before November 1. Considering that Theo all but guaranteed that the new manager would be in place before then, you'll likely see news about the Cubs asking the Yankees for permission to chat with him soon. But if the Yankees have any interest in keeping Girardi, wouldn't they deny that request so that they maintain exclusive negotiating rights? Or would it be a case where Girardi makes it clear that he won't sign until he has had a chance to field other offers, thereby forcing the Yankees hand to grant permission to other clubs?

    What are the logistics for the Cubs talking to Girardi, if that is what they want to do? I thought I read that his current contract runs through the end of October, so I assume the Yankees still have the first chance to negotiate with him and would have to grant permission for anyone else to speak with him.

    3 outs away from the #4 pick. Lock it up.

    You never know what could happen, so you might as well force the Lions to take as many snaps as possible. It may be a 1 in 1000 chance that something goes wrong, but it could still happen.

    Does Gould not practice that or what? Horrible.
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    Huh? "There was no clear recovery, fumble."
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    Have the Bears ever recovered an onside kick since Gould has been the kicker?
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Very evenly matched.

    Regardless of what Billick continues to say, this game is meaningless as a tiebreaker since Detroit would still have to win in Chicago for that to be true.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    I probably would have guessed more than 100 losses So if we tie the Twins, who gets the 4th pick? Cubs.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    That was a pretty obvious fumble waiting to happen... obvious to everyone except Jay himself.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    8 foot tall receivers.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Get the ball down Cutler!
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    I think I would rather watch the Cubs game.

    What the hell was that "Canadian Connections" graphic all about? I get that Trestman coached in Canada, but that made no sense.

    There has been lots of speculation...but it's not gonna happen while Selig is still in charge. You would think that with the constant interleague now, they'll eventually get to the point where they realize it's ridiculous for one league to have such a large advantage. And they're definitely not taking it away from the AL. How is the DH an advantage for one league over the other? Assuming an equal payroll for two teams, one in the AL and one in the NL, it just means that the teams will appropriate their funds differently. While the AL may have a slight advantage in an AL ballpark, they would probably argue that they are at a slight disadvantage in an NL ballpark since they lose one of their high-priced hitters.

    I couldn't disagree more. With the new CBA, there are more incentives for teams to tank and they will continue to do so unless changes are made to the system. You can't just look at draft position. A team's record also impacts their amateur draft budget, international draft budget, and protected pick status for Type A free agents.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Enough with these meaningless late game rallies... I'm rooting for the Pirates to catch the Cardinals and the Cubs to improve their draft position, so I have never wanted the Cubs to lose more than I do now.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    That seems like a really dumb way to give away part of your paycheck.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    He will now.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Huh? Tafoya said the Bears said he could reenter the game if they really needed him. That was Tillman, not Melton.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Huh?
