    As terrible as Miami is and as lost as their season is, I'm not sure why they'd want an older safety. Their issues are mostly on the offensive side of the ball as well.

    Fine with me. I don't understand how you can play as poorly as he played last week, and then have the type of reaction he had to being demoted this week. I'm guessing this is part of the reason why he didn't dress, because he turned into captain sulk last week.

    The Astros should be considered like the other expansion teams for all intents and purposes. They are one of the least interesting franchises out there.

    I actually put on this race for a second while surfing the early games and it was apparently shortly after they airlifted Wheldon to the hospital. That's a damn shame. Is Elway going to get his teeth back?

    The Bears went from a complete mess to "what do they do now?" in a week. After tonight, you want the line combo to stick, but you have to remember Gabe Carimi will be back (probably after the bye). I think you gotta get him in there. He is the most talented player the Bears have on the OL. Interesting move would be to put Carimi at LT and benching J'Marcus Webb, but he played well enough yesterday to stick too. Also, what do you do about Paea? Does he stay in the rotation over Big Toe? I am assuming the safeties stay the same, but you can't leave Chris Harris inactive every game. Roach was pretty good last night too at SLB. Hopefully, the coaching decisions are more like these and less of who's playing RT, RG, FS, SS, DT, DE. I'm not sure what they saw in practice, but it's pretty obvious Paea can play in the NFL and have a positive impact. I'm not sure how he can be taken out of the rotation. I can take or leave Chris Harris. The offensive line was mostly helped by having 2 tight ends and a running back helping out. They were okay, but I wouldn't hesitate to move a better guy in there. That said, I don't think Carimi at LT works right now.

    In what way? I think he looked better last week than he looked this week, and last week he was running for his life.

    Crawford's contract gets better if the Red Sox send some money over, but purely on each contract as it is now I don't think Crawford's is that much better than Soriano's. Crawford has more value than Soriano right this minute yes, but he's already 30 and is signed for the next six years at more money each year (I think) than any one of Soriano's. I could see the argument that it's better to push back the awful years that are inevitable for both players, but the risk is that there will be more (both in terms of cost and length) for Crawford. Crawford isn't quite the predictable disaster that Soriano was.

    You're also getting the two better players.

    Peppers is doubtful.

    How about Geo Soto too? Hm... no thanks? He's 29 years old and he isn't good behind the plate or at the plate. He hit .202 with RISP last year in 114 at-bats. I missed this nonsense here for a little while. It's good to have stupid statements made to balance out the genius that is going to be Chicago Cubs baseball.

    They don't have Theo anymore. I'd be surprised if anyone left in that front office knew what OBP was much less WAR. They still have Cherington and Bill James don't forget (unless Theo is able to bring James with him). Isn't Bill James just an independant consultant?

    smashing pumpkins are my all-time favorite band, but he needs to stfu and get a better drummer and stop writing gay lyrics. Gay lyrics? have you heard any of the new stuff? I think it's more [expletive] than gay.

    Clearly Boston hasn't done their homework on the Cubs system. We don't have any Jewish prospects?
  16. jersey cubs fan
    What the what?
  17. jersey cubs fan
    If he talked to Theo at any point prior to asking permission they have a case. The firing of Hendry has nothing to do with it.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    While it is entirely possible Ricketts could have pulled off some tampering, when he fired Hendry Boston was in 1st place by 2 games with the 2nd best record in baseball. When they announced the firing Boston was a .5 game out of 1st, and 8.5 games up in the Wild Card with the 3rd best record in baseball. It's not like they fired him as Boston was crumbling. Epstein's job status wasn't really an issue until very late in the season.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I think you underestimate the stupidity and insanity of the Boston fan base. Chicago has its idiots, NY is incredibly demanding. But Boston has all the idiocy of Chicago plus the demands of NY.

    I don't care, I was just commenting about how he wasn't all that good and somebody got all pissy about it.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Exactly. Exactly what? Exactly wrong. If they won the WS maybe you could make a case, but Edmonds already went right back to being the Cardinal douche everybody knew he was. Wow. I expected more of you. More what? More pretending Jim Edmonds did more than play really well for a few months? If you are going to keep pretending he was a better Cub than Ramirez has been, fine. But that's idiotic.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Not sure why the other thread is locked, but I feel this series of events wasn't addressed enough following the last game. That was as bad as I've ever seen Lovie and Lovie is as dumb as any professional coach can be. From the deadspin jambaroo "coach on the hot seat" section. http://deadspin.com/5849204/a-not+at+all-homoerotic-tribute-shoulder-pads

    Why are you such a pissy baby? The word hype doesn't have to mean everybody on the national airwaves is discussing it Favre style. The Chicago media was all giddy about the move. It was played up along with the Peppers/Manumanumanululu/Whoever that RB was trifecta of awesome that came in free agency. There was hype and high hopes, and yet Chris Harris has been nothing special and he was absolutely god awful in the last game.

    I think the guy hasn't been nearly as good as the hype that surrounded his return, and that was about as bad a game as you can have and still be employeed in the NFL. He was lost and incredibly slow. He's been good in a vacuum and better than whatever hype surrounded his return (because there wasn't any). Are you kidding me? People were all giddy about "righting the wrong" of trading him in the first place.
