  1. Well this is one way to stall a drive.
  2. Good no call there. Alshon was holding him off with his left arm.
  3. "Finds the soft spot" It may be more of a challenge to find a spot that isn't soft.
  4. Well, they could punt if their punter wasn't Podlesh.
  5. If you say so. Are people still questioning this? It seems pretty implicit that it is true. It is entirely possible that the Cubs are unable to spend money because of the structure of the Tribune sale and not because ownership doesn't have it. It doesn't matter how much money the owners have if they are only allowed to spend the direct revenue from baseball operations. If I remember correctly, those restrictions will be lifted in a few years.
  6. I have to think there will be some serious restrictions on how the fielder can position themselves in front of the base/plate. Or maybe they just want to encourage guys to go over the top Willie Mays Hayes style.
  7. I'm not sure how I feel about the home plate collision ban. I definitely support the idea behind the change, but will withhold judgment until I read exactly how the rule is going to be implemented.
  8. Eh, it's a fair question. Cutler is obviously the better quarterback long term, but can a less than 100% Cutler step in and give the team a better chance to win right now? I don't know what the answer is.
  9. This is Podlesh's best game in years.
  10. You mean the one where the defensive player jumped and launched his helmet at Marshall's helmet?
  11. That is too bad. I really wanted to see him make it back to the big leagues, even if only for one game.
  12. Apparently the Cowboys defensive backs were guarding the back of the end zone and giving Bennett the front half. This has been a defensive clinic so far.
  13. I had a successful relocation day as well. I wanted to stay in the same price level (Terrace Box Outfield), but move as close to the infield as possible. I picked out new seats that were in Row 3 and almost as close to the infield as you can get, with the only downside being they were 12 seats deep and up against a concourse tunnel, meaning there was only one way out. When I got up to the table to buy the tickets, I found out that they had been tagged inappropriately and weren't available. I was then referred to a manager who was eventually able to find me seats in the same section, Row 2, and on the aisle. That was pretty much the best possible outcome and I expect these to be the seats I will keep long term. I don't think I can do any better without jumping up to the next price level, so I'm extremely satisfied with my row 2 borderline infield seats.
  14. Does Coomer have any nicknames? I imagine they would try to avoid "Pat and Ron" references.
  15. I would surely put a lot of stock into a recommendation from a guy that was terrible at his job.
  16. So even if Rose misses significant time, I take it this is potentially good news long term? Or at least better than the worst case scenario.
  17. When I think hitting, I think Mike Brumley!
  18. I don't remember exactly how they broke down the math on the slide (if they did), but weren't they counting the $25 Million that rooftop owners are making? If so, that is very fuzzy math because the rooftop money is not necessarily money that would go in the Cubs pocket if the rooftops didn't exist. After the Wrigley renovations are complete and new TV deals are in place, I don't ever want to hear this type of excuse again to justify why they can't build a winning team.
  19. Robbie Gould may very well be the worst onside kicker in league history.
  20. What do you mean by this?
  21. Only if he can be announced as "former Cubs great Doug Glanville."
