  1. I endorse this method. Shame the a-holes who fill out idiotic ballots into at least having to defend their stupid choices.
  2. Not if those 3 all filled their ballot (all 10 votes used) with other reasonable choices.
  3. The officiating in this Illinois Ohio State game has officially become comical.
  4. Sure, why not expect two inexperienced guys to continue to produce at levels in the majors that they never did in the minors. That's the real Cardinal way. :roll:
  5. Somewhere like Coors or Petco I could see that as a reasonable approach, but as small as Wrigley is, I don't think that's the way to go.
  6. Look at Soriano's first name in 2013.
  7. He'll eat innings, which is something they're sorely in need of at this point with all the injury question marks they've got. Plus, you would think he'll not see as much of a regression to the mean if the hard contact stays the same based on the fact that he's going from pitching in the GABP launching pad to Busch, which isn't as friendly offensively, especially when it comes to HR.
  8. Whoever #58 is, he needs to get off the field. He's been looking around without a clue on at least 2 snaps so far and has been out of position allowing big plays on both.
  9. what the hell league he been playin in? California Penal Since no one else did it.......
  10. I kind of believe that they won't chase any of the remaining FAs. I especially don't buy into the Davis hype and would be surprised if they took a chance on Gordon, unless his asking price comes down to 4 years max. I'd bet on a trade for a bat that can play RF or CF (there are CarGo and Blackmon rumors floating around) that would shift Grichuk to RF and Piscotty to mainly 1B and either Adams or Moss being there part time as well. Likely a 4 man rotation for CF, RF, and 1B at that point with built in Holliday insurance since he's been so brittle. I just can't possibly imagine them going into the season with as little offense as they've got right now and expecting to win enough to get into the playoffs.
  11. When even the dopey, coach-loving announce team can't come up with reasoning for it, you know you've broken the scale. Long snapper was hurt, so it's at least defensible now. They punted twice and attempted a FG after that. It apparently happened right before the TD and he was still getting checked out during the 2 pt attempt.

  13. Jack Del Rio just made the dumbest decision of the year. Went for 2 up 15-12 with like 14 minutes left in the game. Moron.
  14. Totally meatbally, but I feel pretty much the same way. Plus the potential Soler has offensively makes me want to stand pat unless they just use minor league guys not including Contreras.
  15. last year's? this year's team had low expectations that got even lower early on and has looked surprisingly professional and competitive compared to last year's team...so idk. i mean i can come up with plenty worse and more painful bears seasons than this one, but i don't know how old you are. This is worse. Last year they were just fun bad by the end. Being so close to winning so often (to the point they could easily be 9-4 right now) and watching crucial mistakes, bad game management, and missed FG cost them games just sucks.
  16. I still blame him because he failed to do a job he's paid very well to do. However, the play selection after the 2 minute warning was pathetic. I have no idea why you don't run a bubble screen or a dump off to an RB to pick up a few more yards.
  17. Can anybody tell me why that wasn't a penalty for the head shot on Miller?
  18. No it's not. There is never, ever any reason to wreck a kids childhood with that sort of schedule at that age. If he's going to be a great swimmer, he'll be a great swimmer regardless of the extra work. In fact, in a sport like swimming, you're probably stunting his ability to truly be great by working him that hard that young. Kids should be kids and play every sport they want to growing up and not specialize like many are forced to at such young ages. If they truly have an exceptional aptitude for a particular sport, it'll be very obvious without all that extra work. Now, once they hit high school and have figured out what that sport is, go for it and specialize, but it's so much better for developing bodies to not have that wear and tear on a particular set of muscles/ligaments/tendons by constantly exerting them by playing one sport all the time.
  19. Apparently they think Grichuk can handle CF full time?
  20. Honestly, the Olt injury probably screwed them in this as much as it may help them defend the way they handled it. I'll be very surprised if anything other than future CBA bargaining comes out of this.
  21. Didn't they just sign the interim guy to a 2 year deal? By the way, I'd absolutely be in favor of that move.
  22. If only Brian Kelly had already [expletive] lost a game this year in large part because he went for 2 well before he needed to. ND is playing the most dominant offensive game I've seen in a really long time, and they're going to be down by 6 in about 45 seconds. Unbelievable. I didn't see the first half, but how is a team that can rush for 8 YPC losing? Completely unable to be productive in the red zone. Just bad.
  23. I hate the decision to go for two by ND there this early in the 2nd half. Too many weird things can happen to make not getting that point a factor.
  24. Young guys who thought it was their turn to shoot. Gottlieb nailed it talking about the awful shot selection.
