    2019 is shaping up to be an extremely disappointing year for Chicago sports
  2. BigSlick
    its such a kick in the gut that Trubisky sucks. so much wasted time and wasted resources into that guy. I'm half convinced I'll go to my grave and Jay Cutler will be the best QB the Bears ever had
  3. BigSlick
    I'm entirely baffled by how Q is in the top 30 of starter WAR (fangraphs), his numbers look so damn pedestrian. But then, so does everyone elses, thats the juiced ball for you
  4. BigSlick
    Yeah I have to admit its pretty shocking to be here after where we ended the 2016 season at. Not saying it wasn't worth it (it totally was) but its been 3 seasons and there isn't much young talent to be excited about, much of the players we expected to get better got worse or stagnated, and our entire pitching staff is about to enter the retirement home
  5. BigSlick
    Yeah, 1.6 WAR (much of that I'm assuming is defense and 70+ odd plate appearances more) is not a minuscule difference - however accounting for salary and all that, well, its reasonable to say if there were concerns about Harper they're not entirely diminished. I wasn't as full-throated pro-Harper as many on this board, but reticence to sign him only makes sense if you're also committed to putting that kind of money into improving the team in other places, which it turns out they very much weren't into.

    Yes I don't think he's actually very good, but I do think he's better than Chase Daniel, and it would be a great story and piss off the right people
  7. BigSlick
    I don't think you can say the trade for Khalil Mack was premature - opportunities like that just don't come around and you were taking a gamble on Trubisky, which hasn't really panned out. Mack on the other hand has *exceeded* expectations - very rarely does a big time trade like that for a player who's already made a name for themselves even pay off at all. He's been even better than expected, and is disproportionately responsible for the Bears being competitive. The coolest/most hilarious thing the Bears could do is sign Colin Kaepernick, but we all know they wont do that.

    is it weird and greedy that i feel forlorn that we have another Kick Ass Bad Ass Defense and another year of grinding games away with a below average offense? its just like, version 378 of that we've had in the last 35+ years
  9. BigSlick
    finally - something intriguing about the 2019 cubs If this is true, why would Zobrist come back to the team at the end of the year? Would be humiliating
  10. BigSlick
    I kiiiiiinda feel bad for Joe because this current stretch is totally inconceivable and clearly not anything he himself is personally responsible for, but he's been a stubborn ass the last two seasons and has done a lot to sabotage himself. I don't think managers really account for a lot but I do think sometimes you get a dead cat bounce from replacing them, so replace awaay

    Russell is for sure gone now ain’t he? The team barely plays him, he’s been awful, Javy has taken his spot without question. All the Cubs accomplished by keeping him on board was to hurt their credibility with fans, further crater his trade value, and allow him to cost us a handful of games. Good stuff.
  12. BigSlick
    I didn’t think it was possible to be this dumb
  13. BigSlick
    Have the Cubs considered scoring more runs? Seems like a good strategy The Brewers taking the Cardinals magic dust rules. I actually think it’s hilarious: there’s a non-zero chance the Cardinals end up out of the playoffs completely, which owns
  14. BigSlick
    is this a high water mark for the cubs? 14 games over
  15. BigSlick
    castellanos rules
  16. BigSlick
    i'm not even mad if the brewers pass us i'm single-minded about the cardinals. the cubs should never have let them back in the race, much less let them take a 4.5 game lead or whatever at one point. that is the unforgivable crime of this season. it doesn't matter who takes the crown at the end of the season if its not the cubs. they needed to win more
  17. BigSlick
    Zobrist has been really good (offensively) since he's come back
  18. BigSlick
    i literally could not care what the brewers are doing, its all cardinals I mean I get your sentiment but the Brewers are exclusively playing garbage teams that are just trying to get their season over with. The Cubs could go 5-2 against the Cardinals and still get passed. if we go 5-2 against the cardinals we win the division. the only team we're playing is the pirates (bring on the mega-jinx levels here)
  19. BigSlick
    If Cole can just get out of this inning without any damage (and is immediately pulled and I mean IMMEDIATELY) I consider it a win edit: nevermind, lol
  20. BigSlick
    i literally could not care what the brewers are doing, its all cardinals
  21. BigSlick
    i fear we have squeezed everything we possibly can out of Hamels and he's turning back into a pumpkin
  22. BigSlick
    if the cubs wanna continue to kick ass offensively while a bunch of their really good hitters are hurt, i'm cool with that
  23. BigSlick
    anyone feeling more rather than less encouraged after this win is almost like alien to me this team looks just atrocious on offense.
  24. BigSlick
    It’s not a Bears season if we’re not arguing incessantly about the QB and whether or not they’re bad (and they’re almost always bad)
  25. BigSlick
    Anyone rooting for the Cardinals in this past series was a ninny. Cubs gunning for that Division or bust
