  1. You realize you're killing your own arguments here right? Wood didn't come up in the Cubs system and was a fringy 4-5 type guy when we got him. Samardzija was a guy with a live arm and no experience when he was drafted and there was hope he could become a useful arm. He got that contract because if they didn't pay him, he would be playing in the NFL right now. Also, go take a look at the date of Garza's first start and then tell me he was pitching well this spring. I'll help: he started 3 games and pitched 16 innings before June 1st.
  2. Yep, a little pressure from the front four will solve all the issues. They don't even need to be great, just not giving the other team 5-6 seconds to throw every time they drop back.
  3. Schiano is such a redass I really kind of enjoy seeing him lose games in this fashion.
  4. Yeah, what the hell was that? I don't think I've ever seen a player that wide open in the end zone at the end of a game.
  5. This Sumlin cat might be able to coach a little bit.
  6. It's ... odd ... I guess. I really love Edwards, but I feel like he's getting slightly over-hyped. Heck, I'm still not sure I buy the argument that, in terms of rankings, Edwards should be ahead of Pierce Johnson, and I don't think Pierce is in anyone's consensus top 10 pitching prospect. Would you feel the same way if Edwards was 6'4" and 200 lbs?
  7. You were saying? I have no idea why he's not in the game right now. 79 pitches through 7 innings seems like a guy who's pretty well prepared to start the 8th considering he's averaged less than 12 pitches per inning. Dale is so dumb when it comes to pitching changes.
  8. This is seriously the worst analogy ever. Tanaka is nothing like a 25 yr old at AAA. He's a guy who has consistently gotten out hitters at a level much higher than AAA (see LaHair, Brian). It may not be ML equivalent, but it's a hell of a lot more indicative of future performance than AAA and with a much longer track record of doing it than anyone at AAA has.
  9. They are ending their marketing partnership, but that doesn't mean they won't still sell Old Style at the ballpark. 312 is a decent enough beer, but I would really miss Old Style if they don't offer it anymore. I sure as hell won't be drinking Bud or Bud Light. I have no idea how you can be all beer snobby (i use the term VERY loosely here) about bud or bud light and then be heartbroken about old style. wtf. Because they're both terrible and Old Style has a some tradition at the park along with being less terrible. I always have an OS when I go to Wrigley just because. Bud and Bud Light and Miller Lite are all awful beers I avoid at all costs. I will admit some fondness for Bud Light Lime on a hot summer day though, especially if you're on the water or at a beach.
  10. I would have liked to see one too and suspect if Sullivan was injured and scheduled to miss any games there may well have been.
  11. Back on topic, I need 2 for RB2/Flex: Ridley vs. Jets Joique Bell vs. Arizona Eric Decker vs. NYG Brandon Myers vs. Denver
  12. I want to go drink beer with Kyle Long and Martellus Bennett.
  13. Wait, that's what he got the yellow for? Holy [expletive], that's awful!
  14. Why didn't anybody tell me to start Joicque Bell instead of Stevan Ridley? #-o
  15. Calvin Johnson, however, is. Twice. :? Can't play like that again. Yeah, but he's just a big strong possession guy without the big speed threat that Green is. Peanut has always matched up well against those guys.
  16. I already feel a whole lot better about this coaching staff's ability to make halftime adjustments than I ever did about Lovie's crew.
  17. This Cutler guy is okay when he's got some receivers and a little time to throw.
  18. I was gonna be pissed if the hold on McClellin didn't get called.
  19. Why didn't they start at the 35? Ball went out at the ~50 plus the 15 yard penalty.
  20. It'd be nice if any of the DL would get within shouting distance of Dalton.
  21. By illegally pushing off and not getting called for it.
  22. I don't see any way they can over turn it. Hell of an effort to hang onto it.
  23. Well, I think Munchie Legeaux's career probably just ended. Gruesome knee injury when he got hit while stepping into a pass. His knee is shredded.
