Please....just a Game 7 and I'll never ask for anything again!!! (X and X)

Unbelievable. I'm in shock - that is all.

This is inaccurate - shows two home games with Vikings. Week 17 should be an away if game if I'm not mistaken? I took it from the Bears Facebook page, so.... So....Bears Facebook page is inaccurate.

Seems like there is far more evidence pointing to a spurious claim than there is evidence to prove a rape occurred. Perhaps the DA is an honest broker who looked at the evidence and arrived at his conclusion.

Old poster checking in here - thank you for keeping the party rolling for 15 years Tim. 1908 anywhere??

Perhaps he can take one final leisurely jog down to first base to salute the fans.

Goldman Sacks!!

Well, Remmy's base stats were a little better in '02 than '03. However, one of the big differences was his usage. Remlinger is significantly better against righties than lefties. He always has been because of his repotoire. In 2003, Remmy faced lefties 37% of the time. In '02, he only faced lefties 28% of the time. Given that lefties hit .263 off him, that increase wasn't a good thing. It drove me crazy last year every time I saw Baker lift Farnsworth (who destroys lefties) to bring in Remmy (who gets lit up by lefties) just to get the lefty-lefty matchup. But that's just me... Ironically the at-bat against Remlinger I remember the most last year was when he struck out Giambi in the June series at Wrigley... I've read these comments before and the criticism seems to be well-founded...I suppose the comparison really needs to be Remlinger against lefties versus all other available options on a given day versus lefties...key term being available on a given day. Was it Dusty pulling Farns for Remlinger because he didn't want him to face the lefty or because he had thrown 20-30 pitches and he was worried about usage (Remlinger the next best option)?? I'd have been interested to hear Dusty's response to this situation... Nothing to back this up but of all the relievers in the pen I get the sense that Farnsworth is most succeptible to wear and tear...I find myself wondering how often Farnsworth is "truly" available versus sitting in the pen with no conceivable shot at pitching in that game...this is exclusive of the obvious situations where he has pitched 2 days in a row or two out of three, etc.

Great stuff.....thanks for taking the time to post that. The comment on Remlinger and Borowski being hurt in game 2 is the exact reason I think so much of the criticism of Baker on this site is unfounded...there is no way to know what is really going on short of being in the dugout...along with being an excellent motivator of players I happen to think Dusty does a great job of managing the game on a daily basis....rather than jump down his throat when an "obvious" move isn't made I find myself asking what is really going on that would cause a knowledgable baseball guy to do what he did. It would be great if we could get the Remlinger from '02 back... 8) 8)
