He's been a useful starting pitcher for most of his career and the Cubs signed him for a good deal. What the hell were you expecting from him?

Oafs. -
Make 'em pay, Junior. How dare they doubt you.

Kneel before Rondon.

sounds down right "Rizzo-ish" Except in Japan. The land where Matt Murton and Tuffy Rhodes became hitting gods.
-
Puig is only filled with dreams and rocket fuel, how dare you.

Not so much knowing as it is hoping and praying.

Nobody's thinks a pitcher being bad 70% of the time would be acceptable; the point is that your opinion over Jackson is all based on perception. To you he's inconsistent and any good outings are just outliers vs. his bad games being indicative of the pitcher he "really is." You've created a self-fulfilling prophecy where any bad or mediocre outing he has (regardless of how it's inevitable that all pitchers have bad outings, and the ones that aren't the best tend to have them on a fairly regular basis) is, to you, indicative of the "real Jackson." He's a serviceable, useful pitcher who is a good option to have who is having a rough year. It happens, but he's very likely to bounce back.

Sure it is. He has starts where he looks like he's harnessed his stuff, and starts where he walks everyone and hit gets hit all over the park while striking out no one. That's been his whole career for the most part. That's the career of most pitchers. I mean, you have batters who look useful or even great about 30% of the time and then stink the other 70%. Its ridiculous.

Doesn't get what? He wants to show his former team what he can do; so what? I'd have to think most guys who are traded probably have some variation of that attitude when playing their old team.

Fecal League Tracking 2013

not really. the blackhawks are the class of the NHL, the bulls finished with the best record 2 straight years (and will be elite again this year if rose is okay), and the bears are usually at least interesting. Ew, hockey. And you're right about the Bulls; between their recent success and the majesty of the 90's they're basically singlehandedly saving the town from being a complete joke. -
So which is it? Aren't there guys who have stuck around the majors for years that you wouldn't consider consistent? Jason Marquis and Aaron Harang come to mind. They are good enough every now and then to get rotation spots somewhere every year and to me, that is what Jackson is. Whether or not that makes him a "consistent ML starter" is a matter of semantics. Jackson hasn't been a streaky pitcher where he's only "good enough every now and then." You're letting a bad and really unlucky first year cloud your judgement. Plus my point was that those two statements are completely at odds; how can he have been the same pitcher his whole career if he's not consistent? Unless you're saying his consistently inconsistent, which simply isn't the case.

Sure, but both teams? Chicago is generally pretty bad at sports for being such a big market. -
So which is it?

This is, like, your 8th post in 48 hours mentioning Olt. Why?

It's beyond pathetic that both teams in a market like this are THAT bad. -
Jackson has been like the go-to dividing line in conversations I've had about the team this year.
-
Wait, you really think the "coaches are bad?"

Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
Sammy Sofa replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
They looked really good outside of the drops. Jay basically only had one, maybe two bad throws. Running game looked great, blocking looked good...I know it's Oakland, but still, fun first half. -

The pick sucked then and it'll still suck. I stand by my overreaction. -

Well, I do recall either Theo or Hoyer recently saying that maybe just going back and doing his thing would be best for him. Right, but that's clearly not what they want. Plus there's other...stuff.

How the [expletive] is this still delayed? I don't live that far from Wrigley and I've barely had any rain.
