    I think grabbing Waters after he got cut by KC would have been a solid move. Not that the guards have been bad, but it would have been nice to have another guy playing his actual position.

    And considering that's been a repeated patter for him (struggle at a new level at first and then produce at a very solid level once he figures it out) I think that's at least somewhat encouraging. Now, if he goes to Iowa to start next season and rakes while taking some walks, I'll be a little more encouraged. At least as much as you can be by a guy doing well in the PCL.

    I don't understand this point. He was hurt by the fact that the Cubs were a scout heavy organization who mocked stats and wouldn't question what Hughes said? That does make sense. If the Cubs were more balanced in terms of using statistical analysis, Hughes insights could have been put to better use when combined with said statistical analysis. Not that it would have made him smarter, but it would have been a proper use of his skills, as opposed to the blindly going with whatever he had to say approach. Some of the guys he liked and may have been his 1a to the guy the Cubs picked may have been a smarter choice and the Cubs may have realized that if they were using multiple information sources. It's like Mike Martz as a head coach. Not a good idea. But, he can be a very useful part of an organization if he has some limits put on his "creativity".

    That little effing rat bastard Theriot just gave the Cards the lead. Oh how I hate him.

    NFL Week 3

    Yeah you will, they're on different channels. huh, strange. carry on. Not strange at all. NFC home games against the AFC are always on CBS. I think Butters will get it in Columbia, but we'll be blacked out in St. Louis, since it's a home game. Can they do that? It's the Fox national broadcast. If so, that BS.

    http://missouri.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1267857 Officially getting my hopes up. Bc you want to be in the SEC or bc any seat is better than none? I figure Missouri ends up in the bigx. Big Ten would be my first choice but I don't know how realistic it is right now. If SEC comes at us with an offer now, I would hope we'd take it instead of waiting around for a Big Ten offer that might not come. I'd probably feel differently in your shoes, but I feel like Missouri is the most obvious add for the bigx. I think I'd prefer to wait than join the sec where you'll get destroyed in fb and won't get the academic bump that you'd get if you were in the bigx. Yeah, the guy from Power Mizzou is a straight shooter who doesn't buy into rumor mill stuff from what I've seen. That is a double edged sword for Mizzou though. Do you chance being left out in the cold if things don't shake out the way you hope they do and there's no offer from the Big X or do you jump on the SEC offer and get your ass handed to you on a regular basis in football? Tough call without any of the inside knowledge I'm sure some of these university presidents are working with.

    So you don't think there are ACC viewers in DC due to Virginia/Maryland? Or that there will be in NYC once Syracuse goes? I sort of agree with your premise, but I'm not convinced how important/unimportant those trips really are.

    Is that all for Collins? Sounded like he got his bell rung pretty good with being kept over night in the hospital.

    3rd and 9....Saints have us right where they want us.
  12. mul21
    I think that used to be the case, but with his continuing insanity with goofy lineups and insisting on having guys like Theriot and Schumaker around when they're terrible defensively and you have a high GB rate pitching staff, it's more a case of not liking his managing. That doesn't change anything in terms of how much of a drunk maniac and raging prick he is though.

    Law and who's the other one? =D>

    I don't think there's a chance that Urlacher will be an analyst. I could see him in coaching, though. Wasn't real clear the way he wrote it, but he meant Lewis would be an analyst.

    Well, that might work if Leonard wasn't from a pretty small school in the middle of nowhere southern Illinois. On a Chicago kid, maybe.

    Outside of Ludwick with the Cards, and his problems were mostly injury related, there's really not much to indicate this might be real. Although, I'm not entirely familiar with what he actually did when he supposedly remade his swing. That's the only thing that gives me pause with him having some future potential, not that I even remotely expect him to be anything more than slightly above average long term.

    Hell, with the lack of 3B production out there, I'd give him 2/25-26 and not feel bad about it. Saves a few million next year and prevents any thought of rushing Vitters at all.

    I hope you are right, but I am starting to wonder. I am not sure at all that we understand roster construction. We have 2011 PG Tracy Abrams, 2012 PG Michael Orris, 2013 PG Jalen James, and we've offered 2014 PG Larry Austin. You don't need that many point guards on one roster, especially when you have guys like Bertrand and Head who can play it if necessary. That's great except they can't play it effectively. But yeah, they're definitely overdoing the PG slot. I think it's overreaction to being left short like we are now.

    THE BREAKS JUST KEEP COMING! Teams just randomly start dropping the football when they play the Bears. How can one team get so damn lucky? Are you purposely being obtuse here, or do you really not understand the difference between causing fumbles and recovering fumbles? Fumble recovery percentage last year: http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/fumble-recovery-pct WHOOSH

    I hope everybody saw him 8 yards in the backfield on some of those short yardage plays. Yep, watching him get pushed around by Raji all game made me really happy he's gone. If the Saints defense is really as bad as GB made them look last week, I like the Bears chances here. Especially if the d line gets the pressure they did this week. Biggest concern is NO getting an early lead and allowing their D to be super aggressive and really go after takeaways.

    Wow! Just got some info from a guy who has solid connections within the Oklahoma athletic department. According to him, it's already a done deal that Texas, OU, OSU and Tech are all going to what will be the PAC-16. However, here's the interesting part: it will only be for football and basketball. All the non-revenue sports will continue to compete in the old Big 12 due to concern over travel budgets.

    I hope the NFL has the sense to donate the money to some worthy cause that benefits the people/families that were victims of 9/11. Or just not be stupid enough to actually fine anybody who wears them.

    Yeah, too bad some of us couldn't watch it. #-o No power, no cell phone and air card didn't work. Candlelight, flashlights and getting to know the neighbors better is how I spent my evening. Yay! Hope everyone else enjoyed the kickoff to the NFL season. I'm gonna go ahead and not feel too bad for you because you live in the most ideal climate on the planet. And it was a great game that unfortunately ended on a terrible play call.
