    That's what was befuddling about the cheers. Yeah, Cassel's been atrocious and Quinn might be a step up from what they've gotten from Cassel (almost anyone would be), but it's not like they've got a hotshot young stud waiting in the wings. Quinn is in his sixth season in the league already. Sad to admit, but it kind of reminded me of Bear fans with backup QBs, and delusions that he will somehow make everything OK I don't think it was a matter of the new guy making everything ok as much as it was "oh my god Matt Cassel is the worst QB in the history of the world." he was pathetic

    He caused Brigg's interception with his hit on the back. Yeah, when a player is right in front of him with no blockers and no room to maneuver, Urlacher can still make the hit. But if you put a blocker there, or worse yet, a teammate, and he's essentially out of the play.

    My first thought was some sort of taunting thing, but then I realized where the clock was and assumed he was contemplating killing it. With a smaller lead, that's smart. With that score you might as well get your own.

    Second in yards per game behind Megatron. I didn't realize that Reggie Wayne has over 500 yards receiving in four games. Didn't he just have like 250 yesterday?

    The main factor is they went cheap when they first had the lights installed since they figured they'd only play a couple games a year at night anyway.

    Cousin Sal said something about the disappointment of losing to an average at best Bears team last week (and thought the Jags was an easy bet to win). I understand having doubts about the Bears. The offense is just so sloppy at times and the most high profile defensive player looks like he's done. But this team has 9 wins as a low end and is quite easily capable of having a bye week to start the playoffs. They are well above average.

    who is the moron third man in the booth. "He also walks a lot, which is kind of odd to go along with all those strikeouts." What kind of moron thinks that is kind of odd?

    I actually sorta agree with this. I'm of the boat that Villanueva has been a bit over-hyped. I'm still not sure he's significantly better than say, Arismendy Alcantara, but Alcantara got hurt and people forgot about his season. It's not that I buy Alcantara - still wary of the bat the upper levels ... just not sure Villanueva is this stud. Here's hoping though. Have people sold Villanueva as a stud? I haven't noticed anything close to that.

    I don't think I'll ever get over the hilarity of sportswriters, by far the nerdiest group of people in the sports world, taking a never ending series of jabs at sports nerds. I mean, it's probably the same thing that causes otherwise normal human beings to haze younger people just because that was what they had to deal with. But it's still funny to me.

    I'd be pretty happy if the Cubs were facing a team that had to play a one game playoff (which by the way may be on the road) What if you were the 2 seed? I think that is a pointless addition this season that will be changed. It's an annoyance but not that big of a deal. These things tend to wrap up in games 3 and 4, I'd kind of like that to be in my stadium.

    Enough already. Triple crown winner. Hello?!?
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Possibly, but you don't know what homefield advantage is.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    What do you mean you don't agree? The lower seed would have more home games in a 3-game series. That's home field advantage. It's not a 3-game series.

    Isn't the key word in his statement valuable or value? You aren't going to find too many values when signing a free agent, especially one of the top free agents in the class. He's obviously going to participate in free agency as he did so last year. I think the idea is to participate by obtaining the best values available relative to the free market as a whole. Value is the key word but it shouldn't be. The goal is not to make the most cost-efficient roster. It is to create the most productive roster you can, given your budget. I hate that it looks like Theo is more interested in proving he can do it on the cheap than that he can do it at all.

    My friend was vehemently against this new WC round a couple weeks ago and texted me this morning that he has now come around.

    The Cubs are going to need a half dozen of that type of player every year going by their game plan.

    I'm not sure what stability you are looking for but he was the most stable producer for the Cubs for nearly a decade. There's a lot less stable guys out there than Aramis. In 2009-2010, Ramirez missed nearly 120 games and was barely above replacement in 500 PAs in 2010. yeah, we're all well aware. In 2012 the Cubs spent about $7 on their roster and fielded garbage players all over the field. It wasn't much of a risk.

    Nobody is talking about going into the season expecting more, because we saw what Theo and Jed did and that was set up a horrible team. Stupid point number 1. And stupid point number 2. That's just dumb fandom right there. You'd gladly sit through 3 more years of sucking? That's absurd.

    I love that this dude goes on TV and basically tries to call out Jay Cutler for swearing on a football field while glossing over the fact that the reason Jay was swearing at him was because of their incompetence in such a simply thing as resetting a play clock. Oh heavens to Betsy, a curse word? For shame.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Because people hated Soriano from day one. That's not justification for not having the guy on the team.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Other than the fact that this is a completely made up equation you've created with no chance of adding up? Nothing hard at all.

    Drunk Mark Grace being in a one man car wreck, now that's entertainment. LOL. I'd like to hear him every day too. Krukow and Kuiper aren't bad out here in San Jose. I'd be quite happy going through the rest of my life without ever hearing his voice.

    I wonder if the Bears can go through a first quarter without starting multiple drives inside their own 10. That scares me every time.
