    This is an interesting question and I wonder if this type of thinking has played a part in this offseason's spending (or lack thereof). I would like to think that Ricketts has money to spend, but just doesn't feel comfortable allowing Hendry to spend it. If the Cubs stand pat this offseason, they haven't improved the team in the short term, but they will be one year closer to the end of some bad contracts without digging their hole any deeper. It is unfortunate that it has come to that, but it would hopefully give the next GM a little more flexibility to rebuild the team.

    After that, the only logical next step would be to bring Aaron Miles back in 2 years and award him the cherished # 21.

    One step forward, two steps back. Hey wait, isn't that backwards? If the Cubs release Silva, do they have to pay his entire remaining salary up front, or does it still get spread out over 2 years?
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    I'm all for it. Does anyone know whether there would be a significant revenue difference between a jumbotron or a fixed advertising board? I would guess
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    They are still negotating the no trade clause.

    Come on umpires... Stop throwing fuel on the instant replay fire.

    Lovie and company should be embarrassed. They were outcoached like no other. Why would Lovie be embarassed? He gets outcoached nearly every week.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    Clark has to make that catch.

    Run the ball, get the first down, then spike it to stop the clock. Easier said than done I know.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    yeah, he didn't think he could beat the safety, who was totally turned around on the play. he should have split that gap and taken it to the house. Maybe Hester was analyzing the amount of time left on the clock and realized that the Falcons would just drive right down the field again for the win.

    Good defense and running... Bears blue collar football!
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    Not really, but the defensive line isn't really capable of getting a pass rush without blitzing.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    At least now we're guaranteed to get the ball back.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Not since Marcus Robinson have the Bears had a good fade-catching receiver.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    Ahem. That's 2 in a row.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Is that what the Bears worked on during their off week, the 12 man punt return? And why can't these guys hold onto the damn BALL?!?!?
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Pisa leaving on the cart. Good season pal.

    Average? Average runners don't get less than 2 YPC There isn't a running back alive who could gain any yards with this O-line. It's completely on them. There are Falcon defenders in the backfield before our RB even get the hand off. So how long before Beekman gets a shot at guard? The Bears ran the ball well last year, so Beekman must have at least been respectable. I can't say the same for Omiyale.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Average? Average runners don't get less than 2 YPC They might behind this O-line.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Wow.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Cutler isn't going to last at this rate. Has he had a solid pocket to throw from once today?
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    It sure doesn't help build a minor league system when the GM loses out on draft picks by mismanaging arbitration.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    If the organization really does have Sandberg targeted as the next manager, then I'd much prefer they give him a trial run as hitting coach at the major league level rather than just throwing him into the fire in 2011. Either he will do a good job and solidify himself as a managerial candidate, or he won't and the Cubs can decide to look elsewhere.

    there's vomit everywhere Also, some of the food is really bad and overpriced, but you have to order it anyway and it will remain on the menu for several years.

    Ryno, your table is ready.
