    Who the F cares if he likes it or not? Paying customers who care how the team performs should care that the team hasn't tried to win yet and doesn't look poised to win for a while.

    I'm beginning to wonder if Jed Hoyer is a little incompetent. I know they share duties, but technically everything that went wrong last offseason was on his desk. was he not at the forefront of the Rizzo acquisition?

    That's what parallel fronts means. You try to win baseball games at the major league level while strengthening the minor league system. If you lose 100 games you either didn't try to win baseball games at the major league level or really suck at it. I don't think these guys are incompetent, but rather dishonest when they speak about parallel fronts.

    You're right, all plans must start succeeding and show immediate results from day one with no time to allowed for adjustments and a foundation to be built all while changing an entires organizations paradigm from the top down. Well, yes. It's a results-oriented business. If they didn't think they could operate on parallel fronts, then someone else should have been hired. who says this isn't parallel fronts though? They lost 100 games last year, it's not parallel fronts. Anybody who is being the least bit honest will admit this isn't parallel fronts.

    10 months? It's bad enough people buy into the notion that Theo should get 3-4 years of not winning before he can be judged, but now we're going to pretend he's had less time than he really did?
  6. jersey cubs fan
    Stop with this nonsense. It's not "the right way". It is a way. A lazy and unnecessarily conservative way, but only one way.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    I'm concerned with the fact that the roster still looks like crap and that all signs pointing to them not doing a whole hell of a lot about it before 2014. But as to the specific concern with Wood as #2, I'm not really sure how that fits.

    I will admit, it's hard from that angle to tell if it was helmet to helmet at all. It's still illegal to "launch" yourself at a guy and leave your feet isn't it? "Launching" can be a fine/suspension worthy play if it's deemed bad enough, right? Launching is illegal in certain situations, like with a defenseless receiver, although doubtful with an open field block. But much like the Steltz hit on the guy laying near the sideline, it's a play that is generally accepted as part of the game but completely unnecessary and should be banned.

    Would? The Cubs were 71-91 two years ago and 75-87 before then. We've already seen two horrendous seasons in a row.

    I'm Ron Burgundy?

    At what point do we start dealing with the laws of diminishing returns with all these assistants and multi-layered front office? Isn't there concerns about too many voices being a distraction and the whole too many cooks issue?
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I think it's multiple years before the Marlins actually trade him. They have way too much scrutiny on them this offseason to trade Stanton, and they've still got another year before he gets expensive. Yeah, not sure why somebody would write "why wouldn't they deal Stanton now" when the answer to the question is obvious. For all the uproad they traded away mediocre expensive players. That's a justifiable stance to take. Dealing away a really good cheaper player is completely opposite of what they were doing.

    He'll be the first OL off the bench if Spencer is still hurt. I assume they'll start Webb-Williams-Garza-Carimi-Scott. I'm probably jumping the gun, but I wonder if Carimi plays well at guard -- they might just leave him there. Cutler made some comments along the lines of maybe he's a guard on the Jay Cutler show earlier... If he plays well at G then I'm all for it leaving him there. That means it's one less OL spot to worry about. And then, like Williams, they will move him aside for a lesser player and cut him midseason for no good reason.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Bears are 3.5 point favorites right now.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    McCown is signed for the rest of the season. There's no reason to cut him. There is if you have depth problems elsewhere.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Surprising to whom? They've been a win at home only team for a while now.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    That I disagree with. Because you are a tenn fan I don't think it's that. There are programs with much greater prestige than UT (Bama/USC/Ohio St/Mich/Texas off the top of my head) but I don't think OU is one of them. You won't find many unbiased observers who agree

  22. jersey cubs fan
    Maybe it's a wording issue then, because when I hear step down I think of a decline in prestige. I've never considered that a school's current talent level affects its prestige, since prestige is more of a long term thing. And ou has more prestige than tenn
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Not in the areas I mentioned. The talent level is considerably better at OU (which is why I don't think Stoops would make the jump), but if Stoops were to take the UT job he's not going to some middling program that's never done anything. Step down isn't an accusation of middling
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I agree with that. I guess my thinking is, if Stoops wants to leave (change of scenery idea), then Tennessee wouldn't be a dropoff from a historical/tradition/prestige standpoint. . Yes, there absolutely is a drop off.

    Hey it's that thing where wannabe masochists pretend MLB is the nba.
