  1. I don't see much room for growth in a 28 year mediocre 1B like Loney.
  2. I certainly do not prefer Loney to Fielder, I said if we don't or can't sign Fielder. That being said it wouldnt surprise me if by year five or six of a possible Fielder contract that Loney would be more productive. Loney very well could be a Mark Grace type player for us. Almost identical, actually and thats with no more development. Hes not a difference maker or anything, but is pretty useful. I'm going to have to call shenanigans on this nonsense. Loney is not Mark Grace. I'm no huge Grace fan, but he was much better than Loney.
  3. I think the Bears beat Oakland easily with Cutler. He's got 2 more years on his deal at a very favorable price. There's probably no need to act fast, but I would strongly suggest they get a deal done by midseason next year. If there's any silver lining to this, it's the fact that any remaining doubts about Cutler's value to this team have been removed. They'll get a deal done. I would bet there are tremendous doubts from the naysayers about a) his durability, b) his desire to play/win, c) his worthiness for a big franchise QB contract. Hell, there were Peyton Manning doubters until well after he won a SB. People will comment about how Cutler has finished back to back seasons injured.
  4. The entire AFC West is a joke. They have been playing nothing but 2nd class teams.

  6. Apparently Sidney Crosby isn't practicing today but has scheduled a press conference.
  7. Vogelbach was signed and got 27 at-bats at rookie league this year. Ah, cool. Hopefully he'll be ready to do his Prince Fielder impersonation by the time Prince is getting paid to be mediocre.
  8. If they beat New England it will be a huge accomplishment. What they've done so far is not.
  9. My guess is they would go with McCown for now and save Enderle for the final game.
  10. Okay, they aren't that good of an offense though. Sanchez is pretty crappy but he always seems to throw 2-4 TD per game somehow. Anyway, the Jets are the closest thing they've faced to an NFL offense this past month or so, and the next time they will lose. Like this weekend vs New England.
  11. If that happens, I am going to build and or create a church of Tebow and pray there every day. Packers/Broncos would be one hell of a game, I think. That would be a horrible game. The next time Denver plays an NFL offense they are screwed. If the Jets aren't an NFL offense, then there are about 4 NFL offenses Huh? The Jets are probably behind the Bears in yards per game.
  12. It's draft placement time, don't screw this bad boy up. All the more reason to get rid of Barber. He's probably going to score a bunch of touchdowns and win games for us now to make up for his unforgivable boneheaded mistakes yesterday. The Bears will be lucky to score more than 10 points in any remaining game this season.

  15. this did not get the proper attention it deserved.
  16. I think it's up to the Japanese team to accept a serious bid. An MLB team that does not negotiate in good faith will also damage its reputation. There should be some money at risk though, because otherwise, what's to stop someone likeTampa Bay or Toronto to offer an insane posting fee and then never offer a serious contract to block the Yankees and Red Sox. They can offer it, but the other team doesn't have to accept it. It's in the Japanese teams' best interest to make sure the winning bidder is seriously attempting to sign the player. Plus, Tampa might not have $50 million in cash available to put into escrow.
  17. Why Urlacher is talking post game trash is beyond me YOU LOST THE FREAKIN GAME MORON! The offense lost the game. They went all those years without an offense, and just when it looked like they had one with credibility, one that could actually convert on 3rd and 8, and score occasionally, it all blows up and they now have a worse offense than they've ever had during the Urlacher era. He's not talking trash, its accurate. The thing that sucks the most about these three games is those teams are obviously terrible, and they've done nothing in the games played to suggest they are anything but terrible. The Bears offense is just so incredibly impotent without Cutler that it doesn't even matter how terrible those opponents have been. With Cutler they probably win all three games by more than a touchdown.
  18. Hahahaha, you have to love pro-PSU leaks and the people who swallow it whole.
  19. The weird part is that you apparently don't even know what the "pissing match" was about. I never disagreed with WR, OL, and CB early. I just said that I'd take DE over LB and possibly would take DE in the 1st round. Then I said, if the Bears sign a DE (like Avril)....I would still pick DE early (and AHEAD OF LB) but would not take DE in the 1st round. If they sign a de then I would definitely look lb before de in draft. Although bpa obviously leaves that up in air

  21. Both have pitched for 3 seasons, although Wells' injury last year gives Cahill an edge in IP(583 to 500). Otherwise? 4.01 ERA, 105 ERA+, 1.34 WHIP, 6.0 K/9, 2.9 BB/9, 1.0 HR/9, 4.24 FIP, 4.17 xFIP, .266/.325/.401/.726 line against 3.91 ERA, 107 ERA+, 1.32 WHIP, 5.5 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, 1.0 HR/9, 4.51 FIP, 4.23 xFIP, .253/.323/.399/.723 line against I mean, how could they be any more similar? By not having a huge age difference or Randy wells sucking balls last year?
  22. I think other people's eyes were actually scouting him, but they were talking about trying to explain why a decent player had a bad year, not whether or not somebody is actually good.
  23. Wouldn't the more accurate comparison be whoever got protected instead of Flaherty? who got protected instead of Flaherty? I thought they had multiple open spots. Caught me before the edit/delete. Damn you. we should just keep quoting this so everybody is sure to see your horribly indefensible mistake.
