STOP UNDERTHROWING IT, [expletive].
-
I'd be overjoyed with good, not great. We don't have the resources or the FO competence to get Denver's Oline or Marshall/Royal. Obviously.

I'd be overjoyed with good, not great. Besides, who the [expletive] is going to "rectify" anything with him? This is a team that approaches offenses like it's still 1957.
-
I'm sure he'll be better but will he still be forcing stupid passes all the time? Probably. A la Favre. Works for me. Except much less accurate from what I've seen from Cutler this year. Even when he's going well he's underthrowing and overthrowing people all the time. I don't think we can gauge much of anything about him from this year given how bad the team is. Cutler has sucked hard this year, but it's not like we can determine that this is the "real Cutler" when he's on a team that fails on every possible level. About the only conclusion we can take right now is that Jay Cutler will suck on a sucky team.

God, I hope this is the final nail into Lovie's coffin.

Tiger Woods isn't "some people," so let's toss that out the window right now.

It's the Celtics. I don't care if the Bulls weren't having a such a shitty run of blowouts and they had Phil Jackson back as the coach: this team would get killed by the Celtics.

More than anything, I'm surprised that celebs even attempt marriage. You're rarely home, and everywhere you go you'll have women throwing themselves at you. At some point, it's going to give. I'm not condoning the behavior, I'm just calling it futile to try and maintain a monogamous relationship at a young age and in those circumstances. I wouldn't even try. Not everyone is a strong as A.C. Green. And of course you're going to shack up with "regular" people, unless you want everyone to find out. Say what you will about Jeter as a player, the guy knew how to play this part of his life like a genius.
-
Why are people surprised when married celebrities end up shacking up with "regular" mistresses? It's not like Tiger can try and bone famous women. He would have been busted a long time ago if that was his M.O..

Obviously you aren't aware that beer is a potent diuretic, especially when you have six to ten. And that's before the game starts. Real fans know to pregame elsewhere, as the ballpark beers are expensive. And terrible. I don't care if it's tradition: Old Style is horrible and the Bud the vendors serve tastes like it's been watered down as much as possible.
-
His temper sucks, and at the rate the negative publicity is mounting on him he will be a detriment to the PGA for the 1st couple of months. I would not be surprised if the PGA told him to take a leave before he actually did. The last thing they need is the entire focus of a tournament being built around hating Tiger Woods. He is too important for them. The PR machine is going to have to have been rolling for a couple of months before he comes back. Tiger is golf. I guarentee you that the PGA is weeping over this statement from Tiger. Let's not act like the PGA is some bastion of morality here: Tiger playing is going to draw monster coverage and ratings and the PGA will make a boatload. They want him playing ASAP.
-
I assume that that's just the "quick access" facilities for players and umps during the game.

More troughs, as it should be.

I would be with you, but after I saw the way the players reacted with relief after Bradley was suspended at the end of the year, I am pretty certain it would be better for the team to play next year without Bradley. For me the trouble with that is how much of that was truly directed at Bradley and how much was that just frustration over the crappy season and looking for someone to blame? Or how much of that was just based on the feelings at that moment due to a specific incident? Bradley made plenty of stupid comments/decisions, but I think it's reasonable to think that effectively starting fresh with a new season that it would be a much different situation. I think it would basically come down to how the 2010 season kicks off. If the team is winning and/or Bradley isn't ice cold again I highly doubt anyone on the team is going to have a problem with him. -
Only signed through this season and he has made it sound like he wants to test the FA market after his current deal is up and the Cubs likely do not have and will not have the money to extend him. Couple that with what they'd have to give up to get him and it's a frustrating matter of bad timing that unfortunately makes it not worth the Cubs getting involved.
-
There not locked into anything they just don't want Milton around anymore. Most of the players hate him, most of the coaches dislike him and the common Cubs fan hates him as well. Having Milton on the team is just bad PR and will make them look bad next season. Plus I think they really wanna improve the outfield defense, and that includes moving Fukudome back to RF and getting a new CF. But when it all comes down to it, Ricketts doesn't want Bradley on the team anymore. Otherwise I don't think it would be a must like it is. Tough crap if people don't like him (especially the fans). If it's not realistic for him to get traded without the Cubs paying almost all of the contract then you have adults explaining to other adults the reality of the situation and they deal with it. Ricketts basically flat out said that he gave Hendry a set limit as to how much of Bradley's salary that they'll cover and it's pretty clear that that's not working out. If it's not economically feasable then you make it work.
-
That ship has sailed. The Cubs obviously feel they can no longer have Bradley on their team. Whether that's a smart decision is debatable, but that's the decison they have made. What? This isn't some decision the Cubs are locked into. They don't have to trade him.
-
Have a press conference with Hendry, Lou, Bradley, Jaramillo and Ricketts and make up some crap about putting everything behind us and moving forward and emphasize Jaramillio and him and Milton working together and Milton's year in Texas with Jaramillio and then tell everyone to STFU and move on. Bat Milton #2 and tell him he can refuse to talk to the press like he wanted to do in the first place when he got here.
-
What a mess. Come on amazing draft pick.
-
Only a fool would think there isn't significant things this team needs to improve even if they do get one of the big FA signings, but to say that the talent isn't there is also rather foolish.
-
There's pretty clearly talent there.
-
This made me laugh. It's clearly a scenario Olney made up, asked someone with the Cubs if they'd be open to such an idea and then he wrote it up like it was ever something anyone ever proposed besides Buster Olney himself.
-
It was pretty well understood they'd struggle this year. At least from my perspective. Still, I wasn't expecting last night to happen. True, I went into this expecting an off year without Gordon and waiting for the FA bonanza, but I didnt expect Vinny to still be this bad. You couple that with Rose either being too young or simply not having the personality to lead on the court and you've got a young team that's basically rudderless out there.
