    Doesn't explain why he turned down the Vandy job last offseason, though. Vandy offers no hope for success.

    Defense and baserunning is the new walks (although walks are certainly still welcome). Get with the program already. Great let's be the 75 win A's or the 65 win Mariners The key is to go all-in.

    Matsuzaka was far more hyped than Darvish. Darvish was more hyped at a younger age, but Matsuzaka's setbacks diluted some of the hype surrounding Darvish is the past 2 years.

    But Barber is pretty stupid and it seems the coaches didn't do enough to make sure he knew to stay in bounds, or put a smarter player in there to have him stay in bounds.

    My interpretation of that play was he was sent in motion to the outside and the ball was quickly snapped to take advantage of how wide open he was. You can't go up to the line in motion, you have to go up and bet set before the ball is snapped.

    You're Marion Barber hatred is amusing. Considering he had a major part in blowing the last 2 games which is going to keep us out of the playoffs, how am I supposed to feel towards him? Well that's a stretch. Even if gets a TD in the Chiefs game, that's no assurance we win. Roy Williams could've made a TD catch in that game too. Putting that game on Barber is really looking for something. The reason the Bears may miss the playoffs are not because of Marion Barber. The guy has made a few mistakes lately, but overall, has been a quality backup RB. What did he do in the KC game that is a problem?

    Doesn't seem like the wife's statements were crazy at all. And this article notes how little role that probably played.

    Doing a little google search it appears that Boston was somewhat of a surprise, that many people had Seattle and the Yankees potentially going to $20-30m despite most people assuming it would be $10-12m. Also, hardball times had a little discussion about Matsuzaka's health and ended with:

    Some would argue that OC at Auburn was a better gig. Maybe he knows something we don't and just wanted to get the F out of Dodge. It's a really weird move to me. Never question a coach's desire to be the head coach.

    So he and/or his people were busted in July with marijuana and cash, and then he still went through with a potential multi-kilo purchase of cocaine. These agents must have thought they were dealing with the dumbest dealer in history.

    They arrested the wrong former Cowboy.

    If you think he can probably pitch several more years in baseball and be decent, but without a lot of upside, then you are refuting your insinuation that there is a surplus of pitchers like Zambrano. Maybe overstated it a little, but pitchers with where I think Z's ability level is at this point sign 1 year deals all the time. There are options out there for teams. They also sign 2 and 3 year deals all the time. He's only got 1 more year left anyway.

    Yeah, a 2nd rate WR can be useful, a 2nd rate linemen can get your QB killed. I would be happy as well with Cutler and a very strong line, with a never ending rotation of 2nd rate skill position guys.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I didn't think it was funny, just completely accurate.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    There's a tangible benefit. Theo obviously doesn't want the rest of the league (agents and teams) to know what he's going to do. Keep all options open while you negotiate what you want. Keep fans interested in the names they hear. This would hardly be the first time the Cubs showed interest in the top names all winter only to come away with something else. It's practically Cubs Marketing 101 (while acquiring your biggest piece before the convention is Cubs Marketing 201).
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Oh come on. "A lot"? Everybody in baseball continues to say how little pitching there is out there. Guys are getting paid millions just for the ability to not be horrible. If anything, I think the rest of baseball might be scared off by the Cubs drama queen way of handling him, instead of the proper Theo way of "shut the hell up about your internal issues". The Cubs have routinely talked down their "cancers" while in the process of giving them away, and that's what people are hoping to happen again.

    The building on the triangle location was a donut shop

    I couldn't get much further, the nicknamification became too exhausting. ? There wasn't a nickname in the title... Which is why he said "much" further, instead of "any" further. 4 sentences in and there's this, "Boy-quarium of Lesser GMs", and right below that there is this: I find over and over that those chicagonow links off the trib site and just ridiculous.

    Count me in as not everybody else. THANKS DAD!!! Although the bags of peanuts from jewel were a legitimate bargain.

    Yeah, he's Carimi at C. He's huge (6-5, 315 ish), strong as an ox, physical as they come, and surprisingly a really good athlete for his size. Even with Garza, I would hope if Tice is the OC and has some say-so in personnel decisions that he would go back to UW for the 1st round pick. His son played for Wisconsin and he fell in love with Carimi going to games. I don't see how the same couldn't be true of Konz. That being said, I do understand if they don't pick Konz. WR is probably a bigger need and DE and CB will also be considered in the 1st. But I'd still like to grab a C by the 3rd/4th round. Really like Ben Jones- UGA and Mike Brewster tOSU also in the 2nd/3rd round range. One way to do is it to try and have a good line and good receivers, spreading around your talent, but another option is always trying to build a dominant line, which is going to make your WRs more effective, almost by default.

    And they spent half the time talking about how hockey fans complain about a lack of coverage on ESPN. So meta.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Well, the Bears have their QB so that shouldn't be an issue.
