Yes, because the scholarship list that includes Cody Zeller as a senior has a lot of relevance. THE ZELLER FAMILY IS COMMITTED TO EDUCATION BECAUSE LUKE DIDN'T LEAVE AFTER 1 YEAR To be fair, Cody's going to graduate in 3 years. I'd expect him to stay in school until he does graduate.

Obviously Jay didn't have say so in the name choosing. That's such a chick-pick name.

They're almost always exciting in short-season leagues.

Is there really a dude named DICK pitching?

RBI single Soler. Almora also singled and stole a base.

14th K on his 91st pitch for Peralta. 8 swinging Ks, 6 looking.

And the record! #13. Though, it's kind of unfair that those poor A-ball kids had to face Kerry in 2006. His was in 5 innings, FWIW.

Yay! Ednal is hitting again!

15, none, 9 Only 57 pitches with 9Ks

Can now update those numbers to 12, none, and 7 respectively.

Is Torreyes in the Big 3? That seems kinda of ironic.

I'm going to be commish and I'm changing it to a rotisserie league, effective immediately! Naw, I support Adam. But I'm not going to commit 100% to this league next year. This is the only H2H league I'm in now and I like the league, just not all the bitching and bickering. If it doesn't improve, I'm probably leaving too. But I'm going to guess it's a NO on Brian coming back. Just a hunch. My crazy suggestion is getting people we know have way too much time on their hands (WSR, Theo, B2B) to join the league. May hate them, but we know they have no jobs and have unlimited internet access.

There might be a logistical problem with that considering he is under contract currently with the Baltimore Ravens. Oh. Shoot. Marcus McNeill still hasn't been signed, but he may be done at this point. Of course, people thought the same of Jared Gaither at one point last year. Then there's still Chad Clifton out there.

Well, gotdamn Vitters!

Carlos Martinez-Pumarino had been beautiful so far. But just allowed a 7 spot.

Szczur with a 2-hit game. He has a 2-hit and a 3-hit game in AA. 5-9 in those 2 games (july 30th was the 3-hit game). He's 2-33 in every other game. Junior Lake with a walk and a HR.

This is his second start of his career. :-$ LOL. I knew that. I'm such a dumbass.

Pierce Johnson gives up a single to start the game. Picks him off, gets a groundout and a K to start his career!

Anywhere I can illegally watch this game?

Soler's in the lineup. Cleanup, playing DH.

Theo, it was said last year that Urlacher refused to sit out that final game. Lovie approached him and he said he wanted to play. And yeah it's really concerning that he has missed practices that aren't just veterans days of rest. 5 of them in a row is pretty bad, especially considering today was the 10th practice of camp.

I think the key with the DL is going to be the DEs. The Bears are going to have to get a LOT out of McClellin or Wootton (having a great camp FYI). If one or both can provide some outside pass rush, it will allow the Bears to do things to help the lack of DT depth/talent. Peppers can play inside some on passing downs, as can Idonije as you mentioned. Wootton could probably play in there too at 6'6" with his long arms to bat down passes. But gotta get someone to get after it on the outside to even do that in the first place. I think Hardin is ultimately in the plans at SS. Once the team gets comfortable with Hardin, I think Steltz backs him up at SS and Wright is the backup at FS.

Man our Dline is gonna get us in trouble this year. For years, Peppers has been getting tag teamed without much help. That's a different depth chart from what's on the Bears website. I'd imagine the website is more accurate. Has a lot of differences including OL, LBs, DE, DB http://www.chicagobears.com/team/PreseasonDepthChart.asp

He was a FA last year, and only signed a 1-year deal with Detroit. The Bears basically picked up Sam Hurd, in what they thought would be an upgrade, instead of re-signing Davis. He's 33 now, and he was available because he's not a very good player. Kinda sucks if he makes the roster over Sanzenbacher, though he does have the special teams advantage.

Football coaches like to part ways with guys they don't see as part of the program. While many people see value in keeping a guy around or maybe maximize his trade value. But when a guy was a starter and gets leapfrogged, or the coaches feel the guy just isn't "part of the team", they will cut them. I understand that, but that doesn't seem to be logical in this case. They kept Omiyale around, who was in the same situation, but worse, and made much more money. And you're talking about an undrafted rookie getting major time if Carimi, who missed basically the whole season last year, gets hurt again. I guess one scenario could be Lance Louis going back to swing tackle if they don't feel comfortable with James Brown, if he's not the starter at RG (which it looks like he WILL be). Brown is going to have to get a spot on the 53 because I don't think he will slide thru waivers to get on the p-squad. So, you're looking at an OL of: Webb, Spencer, Garza, Louis, Carimi....with at least Edwin Williams and Brown on the bench for sure. If they keep 8 OL like last year, that leaves 1 spot for Chris Williams, Rachal, or Brandon (who could probably fall to practice squad). I'd imagine they'd keep 9 OL though due to past injuries of this group and the fact that they don't have to keep 12 safeties like last year.
