  1. When you have an awesome offensive line, an all pro RB and tons of weapons at WR, it's hard not to dominate unless you are Tavaras Jackson All im saying is, he has thrown only 3 INT's this year. 2 have been off tipped balls. He's never played this smart and well at the same time. Its annoying. Hopefully he blows it in the postseason. He's never had a team this good.
  2. Terrible [expletive] throw.
  3. I can't stand Turner, but you're placing WAY too much of this on him. Replacing with the best OC in the world won't magically fix an OL this shitty or a group of receivers this average at best. There needs to be a new OC in tandem with a reliable, more capable receiver added and improving a couple spots in the OL if the Bears truly want to maximize the quarterback they have now.
  4. Why do people keep acting like Baker doesn't exist?
  5. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4695595 Any ideas as to who might replace him?
  6. Right along such great baseball names as Ty Griffin and Tyler Houston. Those are terrible baseball names.
  7. How did DeRosa help Pujols? He was terrible with the Cardinals.

  9. I've heard a variety of songs between innings in recent years. It's kind of hard to miss depending on where your seats are because if you're stuck near a speaker it's practically deafening. The season ticket package I bought into in 2007 and 2008 was right under a speaker and it was tough to talk to the person next to you with the music they'd blast. I've really not noticed anything "restricted" about a seemingly random assortment of pop and rock hits. Wrigley is just as bad as most other parks in that regard: they just have a much worse sound system.
  10. I can only assume you haven't been to a game at Wrigley in a while since they already do blast horrible music through their wretched excuse of a sound system between innings.
  11. On the one hand, yes, this is true. On the other, you do not see corporate logos and signage for the Wrigley corporation and all of it's products plastered all over the ballpark (like you do at every other corporate named sports facility). It's not really comparable. Why would we see advertising for Wrigley when they haven't owned the park in some time? We shouldn't. That's the point. My guess is that large majority of people who attend Wrigley Field aren't thinking about chewing gum. It may technically be named after a corporation, but it's not comparable to all of the parks that are nothing but a visual and aural onslaught of corporate advertising My point wasn't that Wrigley now is representative of Wrigley the company. My point is that when it was named "Wrigley" it very much had corporate connotations. It a false point to act like Wrigley Field has forever been free of being a "corporate ballpark."

  13. A name that's also the name of one of the most famous candy companies in the world. Which is where the money came from. Just because it's not explicitly named after the company (though it arguably is since William Wrigley was the damn company), it's ridiculous to act like there were no corporate connotations to the name "Wrigley."
  14. The irony never gets old.

  16. That's insane. Bradley is not likely to be an asset in a deal like this and Fox would be a last minute add-on at best. For someone like Cabrera you start with players or prospects that people actually want.
  17. I'd rather empty the farm for Adrian Gonzalez if this indeed is the path Ricketts would be willing to go down.
  18. Hell, you could argue Bradley would be "motivated to play to stick it to Cubs fans" if they just held on to him.
  19. It's astounding how some people here still overrate Jake Fox by so much.
  20. It's got Jon Benjamin, which is great, but it also reminds me that there will never be anymore Frisky Dingo. which makes me sad.
  21. Not that Cutler hasn't been overthrowing all night, but I'd kill for the Bears to have a good big receiver.
  22. Don't care. Seems a stretch to think that it would be what's slowing him down as opposed to the injury he's still recovering from.
  23. He better watch out.
  24. I've been saying this for months. I don't have much issue with trading Hardy, but I don't think a CF was what they needed. If Doug Melvin has any brains in his head, he'll trade Prince. Bums in seats. He won't do it. Miller Park will empty out on him. He's not re-signing with them anyway so they might as well get something for him before he's gone.
  25. You're not sure if you get why the Cubs hired a hitting coach?
