    It's been at -4 since last night. It was -4 prior to the Cowboys game. Given the swing from expected outcome in that game I'd expect a change. It does seem to me like a major trap game. They got through the first quarter 3-1. On the road in a dead atmosphere stadium playing late afternoon. There's always a chance of really sloppy weather. My hangover has prevented me from remembering where I just read this but.... a team playing on the road following a road MNF has terrible trends for covering the spread. Yeah, I have to imagine that went into setting a fairly low line in the first place.

    You can't be serious. Surely the part about it being one of the worst Cubs teams can't be argued, but to blame Jed Hoyer for that is nonsense. Who am I supposed to blame? Virtually all of the bad players were put on the roster by him. I mean, I could have blamed Theo Epstein, but I feel bad that Jed never gets any recognition for being the GM. You are looking at one season at face value without any regard for the long term plan. If the goal was to put a team on the field that could possibly reach .500, then Epstein and Hoyer failed. If the goal was to start building a championship team, then it is way too early to make any judgements. I don't think anyone is happy with how this season turned out, but to assign blame to the new administration at this point is just silly. You don't get to choose to take a dive on a season without accepting the blame for the results of that dive. He can stick to whatever longterm plan he wants, but he takes blame for the crappy team he puts out there in the interim.

    We haven't had low expectations since 03. The 04 team won 89 games and was booed on the regular. Just because some people woke up and realized they should probably hope for more than mediocre doesn't mean the Cubs have anything but low expectations. There are incredibly low expectations for the Cubs. There were still people thinking Jim Hendry got a raw deal and should have been given more of an opportunity to prove himself. People pissed their pants with joy from back to back .500 seasons. It takes 90+ loss seasons for people to be disappointed. Some fan bases demand 90+ win seasons every season. The Cubs have done it once in 15 years and 2 in 20+ only because of a 163 game season.

    How's Tony Romo's mettle doing this morning?
  6. jersey cubs fan
    so you agree that the bears' defense was one of the best, if not the best in the league last season? I agreed a long time ago, you're thinking of Goony. They were very good. Nowhere near the best though.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    You don't know the media well. Jay was petty and romo has mettle.

    So the line I've seen went from 3.5 to 3. Interestingly the Bears are -4 against Jacksonville next week. The Jags have been outscored by 35 points this year. I'd have to imagine that if Chicago manages to pull off the upset this week then next week's line will be bigger than 4.

    There's an early Simpsons where Bart's teacher is handing back tests and Bart upon seeing his F starts crying. The teacher says that she thought that Bart should be used to failing by now. Bart responded by saying, "But this time I actually tried!" That must be what Pirates fans feel like. Of course, being a Cubs fan, I know exactly what that feels like. I thought you were going to blow our mind with some sort of that's the last time Pittsburgh was over .500 coincidence. It aired Oct 11, 1990, and the Pirates were eliminated from the playoffs the next day.

    Nonsense. Being on a 100 loss team is going to be more of a reason not to sign a team friendly deal than being happy shooting the [expletive] with your teammates would be a reason to sign a team friendly deal. Besides that though we should hope he doesn't sign a deal with the Cubs.

    I don't see what is nice about that.

    This one isn't as entertaining as usual. Give it time.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Oooh, cool. Are we going to get another one of these started up?
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Easy schedule and an impact player in the draft. It's good to crap the bed every once in a while.

    GD I hate primetime football. I cannot stress that enough. I am not looking forward to staying up past midnight to watch this one. I have no faith this week, maybe that's a good sign because usually I can picture a Bears victory. One way or another tomorrow is going to suck. Either I'll be too excited about a win to get much sleep or too annoyed about another loss. I hope no clients need anything tomorrow.

Now it’s getting down to the bitter end." Sounds like some progress might get made relatively soon. Possibly.

    Jesus this is stupid. Really stupid nonsense.

    well done Cutler. Pompei likes to market himself as some sort of expert about the game, but that is a very pointless question. He's basically just trying to get Cutler to say something meaningless so he can spend the next week on CTL critiquing the answer. The details do matter. Extra coverage tells you nothing.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Why does it have to be "with abandon"? That's just an unnecessary qualifier to justify the dumbass theory that the Cubs shouldn't acquire more players until some theoretical time in the future when they will be "ready to win".
  25. jersey cubs fan
    on occasion. Although we may no longer be seeing situations where guys like Cabrera come available when they are actually studs (as opposed to previously listed used to be studs). But you don't build your team with the expectations that you can get some other team's stud later.
