Just kick it out of bounds each time and give it to them at the 35. Ugh. That would've been a huge turnover.
-
Sutton breaks it for 34 yards! 1st and goal! Baz has threaded the needle twice so far this drive. Impressive. Baz hits Tyrell "Mr. Ohio" Sutton for the score!!!
-
Northwestern plays 4 quarters, Mr. pregame guy? Have you not watched any NU game other than @ MSU? Northwestern starts on offense for the first time in Big Ten play. And I don't like it.
-
Are those the uniforms they're going to wear? Not sure if those look better with the three blue stripes instead of two blue and one white like the older orange alternate jerseys that they're selling, but I think that may be the only difference.
-
Very. Of course, it's quite different for Neifi. That's just style.

I finally found it!!! (Wild ending to Rockies/Cubs 2001)
Jon replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Still my single favorite play not related to the post-season. -
And go winless in the Big Ten? The all-blue combo they had against the Packers on MNF a couple of years ago wasn't that bad, but that was just a different combination. There really isn't a reason to use alternate jerseys when they're not throwbacks.

:cry:

Warriors inbound with :02.4 left and Richardson's shot is no-good...and no foul! Bulls win 85-84.
-
Bulls with a very costly turnover with :36 left leading to a go-ahead three from Dunleavy.

Notice how Von Joshua is spelled V-o-n J-o-s-h-u-a and not C-l-i-n-e-s/S-a-r-g-e

Neifi made way more than that with his incentives. The articles state that he made an additional $1.5 million in incentives based on PAs last year.
-
Pie pinch ran in the 7th and flied out in his only AB in the 9th.
-
I wonder what Neifi will do for the talent portion of the contest. He's going to recreate Happy Gilmore's "happy place". He's got the body type and costume already. I thought that hat was just for celebrations. Just watched 2 minutes of it on ESPN Motion. Talk about a stinker.
-
That happened in August. I just haven't wanted to think about the Cubs much since then. Count me in regarding that baseball malaise. It just got too painful. Well Jon, no world series, but there's still hope for... THE CAPITAL ONE BOWL! WOOOO! Well, I am more optimistic about beating Ohio State than I am about the Cubs right now. And that's saying something.

Todd Walker should go on a Frank Grimes-esque rant. I think it would go something like this... Walker: "Oh, I, I can't stand it any longer. This whole organization is insane. Insane, I tell you! [snaps mentally] Daahh! Aaah! I can suck, too! [takes his uniform off, and moons one of the clubhouse managers] Look at me, I am a worthless player, just like Neifi Perez! Give me a new contract! [walks into the clubhouse and grabs a baseball bat] Ooh, I swing downwards, but nobody minds! [swings in an exaggeratedly slobbish fashion] Now I'm stepping to the plate without trying to get on base. But it doesn't matter, because I'm Neifi Perez! I don't need to get on base, 'cause someone else will do it for me. D'oh! D'oh! D'oh! [slaps forehead on each "D'oh!"] Perez: Hey, you okay, Walky? Walker: I'm better than okay. I'm Neifi Perez. Perez: [chuckles] You wish. Walker: [notices Hendry has walked in] Oh, hi, Mr. Hendry. I'm the worst hitter in the league given the amount of playing time I get. Time to go home to my mansion and eat my lobster. [walks up to some dangerous-looking pitching machines] What's this? [reads sign] "Danger: Wear Helmet." Well, I don't need a helmet, because I'm Neifi Pere-- [gets hit in the head by a baseball]

The Cubs mock GM press conference should have a laugh track.
-
Yeah, but the bottom line for me is the more time he can spend with minor league instructors and away from Baker, Clines, and Sarge, the better. Anyone else really looking forward to a bullpen with Mitre and Hill in it.
-
You know its bad when Jon is losing his hope in this team. I haven't worn my Cubs hat since August and I didn't bother to watch or listen to any games after that. Hendry and Baker are the first two to suck out all of my optimism with the Cubs. So kudos to them. I'm just glad Pie's poor performance so far this fall will likely keep him in the minors. Right?
-
Just a reminder to everyone of Neifi's suck factor last season (1-OBP): .702 And Rusch's WHIP, BAA, and ERA: 1.57, .302, 4.52 That's a whole lot of suckage, Mr. Hendry. I didn't go for Convention passes for the first time in six years yesterday because of Hendry. He's well on his way from keeping me from missing class to try to buy tickets when they first go on sale.
-
That is exactly right Jon. Hendry seems to pride himself of loyalty. He pays for past performance. That is not a good trait for a GM. We've got a "players' GM" and a "players' manager," but apparently only for certain players. Some good that has done.
-
Good glove guys who can't get on base can be had for a heck of a lot cheaper than this. I doubt there were many people knocking on Neifi's door despite the reports, but my guess this is just another case of Hendry bidding against himself. And I don't even want to think about what kind of trade that would be... We'll see how long it takes Hendry to say that this contract is a "reward" for how "well" Neifi did last season.
-
Just another painfully, painfully obvious sign that not only does Hendry not know how to fix the team, he has no clue as to what's wrong. The contract extensions Dusty and Hendry will receive shortly, I'd assume, are just going to be final dagger.
