    I'd prefer "Aaron Miles - The Final Solution." I can't believe he made me long for the days of Neifi.

    I didn't mind him when he first showed up simply because he wasn't Harry, who I really couldn't stand at all for about the last decade he was on the mic. Once Len took over, however, it was like a light bulb clicked on with the idea of, "ohhhh, so THIS is a how a good announcer sounds."

    It can't even be considered? Man, that's strict. It's not like anyone is actually saying, "don't fire Hendry because the next guy would be worse." There's a huge difference between that and "go ahead and fire Hendry...but I'm not getting my hopes up that the next guy will be any better."

    Yes and no. Given the new owners I can see the appeal of getting someone new in and signaling a "new era," but that typically requires paying big for such "newness." If the money is there, great, get the new guy in. If not, eh, limit Hendry basically to trades only and I can live with it for another year. Either way, I'm not losing sleep. If they want to still fire Hendry and there's not the money to make a big splash I'm not going to be worked up over it. I guess technically I could live with it for another year, but there's no good reason why we should have to. He's been in charge for a very long time and the team is barely over .500 with a huge financial advantage over the competition. I'm not all that upset that Joshua has been canned, but it's a weak move by Jim who typically finds something else to blame for a lack of success. He goes year to year on bizarre tangents, and he's the one who put them in this tight spot with so much money tied into just a few guys for several years. So if they somehow make it so his moves can't cripple the team going further, fine. But much like "Dusty-proofing" a roster, I don't see the point in hanging onto a guy you have to prevent from screwing up the team when he does what he wants to do. I agree with all of this.

    No, it doesn't. I'm not opposed at all to firing Hendry; I just recognize the odds that his replacement will be better aren't very good. That doesn't mean I want Hendry to stick around...I'm just not getting worked up over his replacement until they prove they're not part of the usual parade of crap that is the average MLB GM. When was the last time an owner telegraphed a GM replacement before first firing the existing one? The Jocketty situation is the only one I can remember. I don't understand what this has to do with anything. I'm not stating that the replacement has to be picked out or "telegraphed" or interviewed or whatever before Hendry is fired. I don't care if, how, where or when Hendry is fired. The closest I've come to "defending" him is saying that I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him for another season only if there is no significant payroll to work with and even then I'm not against him being fired.

    How many times has Gruden had to change after soaking himself in a torrent of his own [expletive] tonight?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus Christ, Gruden, put your [expletive] away.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Easily.

    What did they have to montage? I don't know they had one for 2006, and I can't remember one memorable moment after April of that year except sweeping the Cardinals in a 4 game series in July. They've had one every year at least since 2003.

    You're right.....when the baseball historians look back on the 08 season the first thing out of their mouths will be "Remember that Cub team that won 97 games?"....... Is the bar seriously that low? So a season is only worthwhile if it's remembered by "baseball historians?"
  16. Sammy Sofa
    No montage this year?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Idiots.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, because it's all been on Forte and nothing to do with the terrible o-line. I think Barry Sanders would struggle to gain yards with this O-line. He would, but it seems like Forte's lost a bit this season. We'll see how he looks as the season goes on. Really? He looks fine to me when there's room. Exactly. I don't see anything wrong with him when there's actually some blocking.

    KNOCK IT OFF, BEARS.

    Looks like he was stepped on.

    DOUBLE FARTS.

    It is because it isn't on WGN Nope.... wrong again. CUBS are 29-33 when WGN broadcasts the game CUBS are 40-28 when CSN broadcasts the game Kudos.
