Is that a list of who you want or who you think it is gonna be because I wouldn't want most of them. Phillips was a terrible GM. With his penchant for terrible contracts he'd be Hendry-lite. Ed Wade did ok setting the Phils up in the early 00's but the Astros are total bottom feeders under him. Littlefield was a bafoon with the Pirates. MacPhail and Ric would be acceptable. Really?

Baseball guy means that from the time you left high school baseball was the primary factor in your life. You either played in college or got drafted into some minor league organization. You stayed involved at many levels and when your playing career was over you went right into some coaching or scouting capacity and worked your way up. Baseball Execs are commissioned; Baseball Men are enlistees.

Rosenthal must be the biggest idiot in the history of the world then. Seriously, when did this ARam hate really get into the mainstream? The guy has one bad season after badly dislocating his shoulder and all the sudden he's public enemy number 1 in the media. WTF I sent him a very angry tweet saying as much.

Ken Rosenthal seems to think Ramirez's is an example of an awful contract Hendry gave out.

Isn't this misleading? How long have baseball executives/decision-makers been referred to as general managers? Apparently since 1934 for the Cubs. Ok, so GMs didn't exist in our most successful era... COINCIDENCE!?!!?

Sensing optimism from Goony. Something's wrong...

I don't give a flying fudgesicle about Crane Kenney and I don't know why any fan would. The man has nothing to do with the baseball team, he runs the business, and by most accounts business is good. Why do people hate him so much?

Is Zambrano now more or less likely to be traded at any cost or released?
-
Now Da Muskat has confirmed -- says "Randy Bush takes over." Hope that's not permanent... EDIT: He's interim GM, per Bruce.

Haugh: I know this will make some people unhappy. I'm reserving all excitement until I hear who the replacement is and what their philosophy is.

Haugh is saying the source came from the Cubs:

Darwin Barney to use a heavier bat?

The Rosenthal one is great, but the others aren't that impressive. This guy should stick to batting stances, which he is awesome at. -
Bears Presason Week 1 Buffalo @ Chicago 8/13 7pm CST
ConstableRabbit replied to Banedon's topic in Other Sports
Well they already signed a washed up fan favorite and team leader, so they clearly didn't need him anymore. -
"If I want to hit him, I hit him! I don't want to hit anyone with splitters, or sliders, or coh-ders. Who wants to hit someone with those pitches??" Fantastic. The look on Kaplan's face at the end when Zambrano screwed up his name was priceless. Fixed. :D I love Z

Yeah, I don't think he was the best. That's the point. He was targeted a lot and put up decent numbers, but in a very inefficient manner. Inefficient? He had the most yards per target on the entire team...by a decent margin. How is that not a measure of efficiency? I realize he caught a lesser % of balls thrown his way but he made up for it in YAC and YPC. I know its not the only thing, but Tell me which Bears receiver was better last year. Bennett, who didnt even see the field much the first 60% of the season? Hester, who is probably as raw or more as a receiver as Knox? Aromashadou? Not that this adds anything to my argument because you are obviously smart enough to evaluate the numbers I posted before, but this is what their stats would look like if they all had 99 targets CAT YRD TD Knox 51 960 5 Bennett 65 792 5 Olsen 59 580 7 Hester 54 644 5 I just don't see it. Knox stands out as king of the idiots. All of these stats are pretty misleading, imo. When compared to other WRs on the Bears, Knox may have run a lot more "feast-or-famine" go routes that went for a lot of yards when a completion was made. That doesn't necessarily make him a better receiver. I'm not sold.

Just stumbled on this blog from Bears Camp 2008. There are some pretty great gems in there. One that makes me shiver at what we used to have to deal with:

Add it to the list.
