  1. Not sure where you get that impression... I'm liking Jackson and Castillo plus obviously Castro and Rizzo, but the rest of the lineup is meh and the rotation is far away from making the team competitive. I still think Vitters will be a decent player and soon. Plus I'm not convinced that Theo and co. won't improve the big league team as well. Improvement on this team could still leave it in very horrible territory.
  2. he misses his foreskin
  3. You spelled ridiculous wrong. I said, it's a possiblity he will never play football again. Possiblity. That's two years in a row of season ending injuries. If you think it's a given that he comes back for sure, you are the one being ridiculous. Actually you said 'quite reasonable' which to me is a lot different than 'possible'. He said it's quite reasonable to say it is a possibility.
  4. He missed his last college season and his first pro season. It's probably a good idea to never expect anything out of him. I don't really buy into the idea of injury proneness. That's nice.

  6. Played well enough to get a job somewhere, I would think. Def. That's why we had to go with Blanchard for the practice squad. They'd never be able to keep McCown there. By rule they can't put McCown on practice squad, right?
  7. desperate times
  8. This was a pointless post. He sucked at GM, I don't care how good of a gym teacher he was back in Florida.
  9. FBs aren't very useful.
  10. You're really trying to pass this off as not being utter nonsense?
  11. Comparing football and basketball is asinine and there is nothing crazy about sudden death in football.
  12. He helped him up. They both laughed and held each other for a while.
  13. Sudden death isn't awful and the people who get their panties in a bunch about it are misguided. You also completely missed the entire point and glossed over the problems with how a football game would be played under NBA rules. The rules don't "easily allow" for a game to go 5 quarters. It's actually kind of hard to do.
  14. I open to overtime if there's a good way to do it. I'm just not super convinced there is a good way. I've never understood why football does this differently than pretty much every other sport. If it's tied after regulation, play another period. If it's still tied, repeat. Doesn't seem that complicated to me. Well all sports do it differently. Plus there's very obvious reasons why they don't do it that way (it would be a horrible idea). Basketball scores change every 20 seconds, football does not. Timing for television is paramount for the entire business plan of the NFL. The equivalent of 19 inning games is an impossible thought for football, both for timing of the game, and the physical ability to have the players play.

  16. Kyle Kendrick's wife is hideous
  17. It was brought up in the Vitters/Jackson callup thread.
  18. Because in the final month of meaningless games, giving Valbuena the chance to prove that he's as good as Neifi Perez takes precedent over giving a struggling 22 year old who could still be a big part of the Cubs future as much PT as possible. Hopefully, winter ball is in Vitters' near future. I think it's more about stopping the bleeding on Vitters value than giving Valbuena a chance. They probably want to overhaul a whole lot about Josh's game. If the goal was to bring him in and let him face guys he could conceivably pad his stats against, it has so far failed. It's too bad they didn't just keep him down there all year to look like a AAA killer.
  19. did he erase one?
  20. jesus that's stupid
  21. well that answered that question
  22. was the correction correct or "homerism"?
