    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?!?

    Possibly, but you don't know what homefield advantage is.
  11. 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.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Because people hated Soriano from day one. That's not justification for not having the guy on the team.
  20. 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.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I wonder if the Bears can go through a first quarter without starting multiple drives inside their own 10. That scares me every time.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    That's horse [expletive]. They made nearly every move with the future in mind and gave little consideration to winning games in 2012, but to say they sat down and willfully constructed the team with the their primary intent being that the 2012 Cubs lose as many games as possible is patently absurd. Your response to this tongue in cheek statement is patently absurd.

    Err...the lower seeds don't have home field advantage. It definitely could be argued that they do. Yeah, I don't know the math, but I'm fairly sure someone who looked it up would find that a very large percentage of the best of 5 series in baseball history have ended in fewer than 5 games. And I'm sure a good percentage of those series were won by the road team. The first two games doesn't make homefield advantage.

    Why would you like to think that? 1/3 of the teams in a league make the playoffs. If you are .500 at the deadline, you should not be selling off. Because I think their plan from the beginning was to clean house and start fresh, while maximizing the value of their current assets to get as much as possible for them. Part of it backfired on them when Garza and Marmol got injured and Dempster didn't want to go to Atlanta, but they still made out with a couple top 10 prospects in Villanueva and Vizcaino. And I like to think that if they had a plan from the beginning they'd stick to it if every gamble broke right for them just as it did when almost everything broke wrong for them. Their gambles did break right. They tried to build the worst team they could and succeeded.
