    Easy there, spaz.

    Nope. If this was a different organization I'd probably be cheering for it just for the fun of it. But I don't like having a guy with patience issues trying to get to an arbitrary number of hits by year end. Production isn't about a specific number of hits and Castro still has a lot of learning to do. But oh well, he's good enough to not get screwed up by it. He's probably good enough not to get screwed up by it. Still, it makes me nervous that he's taken exactly 2 walks in September. I'm encouraged that he's averaging a walk per game over the last 24 hours.

    It was a Cade McNown trivia... ...actually, it probably should've been in the other NFL thread. Sorry.

    I can't wait to take a flyer on the worst hitting 1B in baseball in his age 31 season two years removed from severe concussion problems. Sign me up.

    They are now 60-59 in games not started by Coleman, Davis, or Russell. And that includes our heaping helping of Rodrigo Lopez. At this point, I'm more concerned about the Cubs upgrading the pitching rotation in the offseason than the offense. Yes, a star 1B would be great, but the pitching is what made the team atrocious all year. Injuries hurt, of course, but the system was ill prepared to deal with the injuries, which was the big season killer.

    Charlie Batch is the last one, yes. What does this all mean? Well, it's national Jump to Conclusions week in the NFL, and even the worst draft busts in history can be good for one game. Not that it means a whole lot for Cam Newton at this point, since there are plenty of good QBs on the list too.
  7. bukie
    It is.
  8. bukie
    Negative. The last two are extra difficult. One played for Detroit his rookie year and is currently on a roster with 2 other guys on this list. The other played for the Saints and is currently a US Congressman.

    I'm not saying Simmons makes great picks, but had Dallas pulled off the upset, would you give him grief over the Jets as a playoff team in the AFC losing to Dallas? Probably, since he gave him grief for St. Louis losing to Philly (another playoff predicted team with a better record).

    Ryan Leaf is 3rd, yes.
  11. bukie
    And no on Bledsoe.
  12. bukie
    To recap: 1. Cade McNown 197 (1999) 2. Ryan 191 3. ? 178 (1998) 4. Byron Leftwich 174 (2003) 5. Ryan 170 6. Peyton 169 7. ? 165 (1994) 8. ? 162 (1998) 9. Eli 161 10. Big Ben 156 11. Newton 150
  13. bukie
    No on Culpepper, Peyton is only 6th, two other QBs drafted in 1998 are the other 1998 spots.
  14. bukie
    Leftwich is 4th, McNown is 1st.
  15. bukie
    No.
  16. bukie
    Yes.
  17. bukie
    Nope on both.
  18. bukie
    Bulger was drafted in 2000, and didn't play until 2002, which is why his isn't on the list.
  19. bukie
    No on Bulger, Schaub and Leinart. Here are the years as more hints: 1. ? 197 (1999) 2. Ryan 191 3. ? 178 (1998) 4. ? 174 (2003) 5. Ryan 170 6. Peyton 169 7. ? 165 (1994) 8. ? 162 (1998) 9. Eli 161 10. Big Ben 156 11. Newton 150
  20. bukie
    Negative on Grossman and Romo.
  21. bukie
    Peyton 6th, Eli 9th, Ryan 2nd and 5th, Roethlisberger 10th. So here's the list so far: 1. ? 2. Ryan 191 3. ? 4. ? 5. Ryan 170 6. Peyton 169 7. ? 8. ? 9. Eli 161 10. Big Ben 156 11. Newton 150 The rest of the names are the hard ones. Only two are on a 2011 roster (and both on the same roster, oddly enough).

    Since I like trivia... In today's FO Quick Reads column, they mentioned that Cam Newton's performance was the 11th best performance by DYAR of any rookie QB (not alll in their first game). They list the top 10 performances by DYAR for rookie QBs. Anyone care to guess who was responsible for them? Hints: All of them have happened since 1994, and one person was responsible for two of them.

    Barnwell's column was basically Detroit was better than the score looked due to garbage time points, and the Bears weren't quite as good as the score looked due to fortunate fumble recoveries at opportune times. His argument was basically that all the fumbles occurred at pivotal times, and any of them could've changed the complexion of the game had Atlanta recovered even one.

    Detroit? Where did you get that from? They played in Baton Rouge. I saw "Tiger Stadium" and instinctively thought Detroit. Baton Rouge makes a ton more sense.

    Have the Bears seriously not won in the Superdome since Super Bowl XX? That seems wrong, but they mentioned it on sports radio this morning. EDIT: This is apparently true. They won "at" New Orleans in 2005, but they actually played them in Detroit because of Hurricane Katrina. Through other odd schedule quirks (a ton of the games against NO were at home) and the Bears being just plain bad, they haven't won at the Superdome since January of 1986 in Super Bowl XX. They haven't beaten the Saints at the Superdome since 1975.
