    If it was that easy to get average offense at 3B, more than half the teams in the league would be doing it, and the average would be higher. Never thought I'd see the day where the Cubs offense at 3B would be taken for granted. A decade of steady and solid production has blinded people. And for some reason, a whole series of middling prospects that failed to fill-in at a reasonable level has escaped notice at the same time.

    they won't be able to. this line gets confused blocking a 4-man front. Why are some fans so obsessed with the blitz? I would actually welcome some over aggressive blitzing this week. Cutler can exploit that on occassion. The Bears lack the line to block straight up and look deep.

    In my opinion there are 3 majors factors the Bears cannot rely on; the offensive line, the receivers, and the secondary. All three of them are anywhere from subpar to horrible. It has gotten to the point where the WR coach is acting like a high school coach telling fans to love them or leave them. Those receivers are really bad. They provide no safety valve for Cutler, and of course with this offensive line you need that safety valve. The game will have to be won by Cutler, Forte, the dline and linebackers. But they might need another special teams break to make it happen.

    The search should be over by now. The decision making will take place as soon as teams start finishing their seasons.

    So is he going to be playing 3B next year?
  7. jersey cubs fan
    The point is the people who would type college football probably aren't fans but rather high school students researching a lame paper.

    FINALLY!!! When people can't grasp scouting is and will be predom. Subjective, that is their lack of knowledge on scouting. Is this yoda?

    You don't think a Flaherty/Baker platoon could surpass a .701 OPS? That's not my ideal choice certainly, but if that's what it takes to net elite talent at first and in the rotation in the primes of their careers, then I'll take it. There are other cheap options we could look into - Mark Reynolds comes to mind, though he's very flawed - but those two are in-house options who would likely produce better than league average in a platoon role. Except simply letting Ramirez goes does absolutely nothing to "net elite talent at first and in the rotation." Letting your best player go does not increase your odds of acquiring other teams' free agents.

    what sort of "shot" are you thinking of?
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Pretty much, yes. You don't spend 1st round picks on guys who might be okay guards. At the time it didn't seem bad. But we heard about pre-existing back problems, and he's been a terrible 1st round pick so far. Angelo has a history of sucking at the offensive line, both with Tampa and the Bears. He's yet to draft even one good starter in a decade at the job in Chicago. It would be one thing if he spent a lot of 2nd/3rd/4th round picks while adding depth, but the guy either spends a 1st round pick (2 busts and a don't know yet) or a 6th, ignoring everybody else. It's like Hendry with the outfield situation for years. They were desperate to fill it so they had to get Soriano, and the Bears have been desperate to fill the line so they've had to spend insane money on Pace plus 2 recent 1st round picks. Very poor management of the group.

    Never heard of a rival not wanting to give up a milestone? It's not a big deal and I only point it out because I know there are Brewer fans reading this right now. A meaningless milestone that nobody will remember a year from now? No, I have not. Yeah, I've heard of pitchers not wanting to give up record setting HR, but not 200th hit.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    That's "everything" you could have done? Maybe last year. But the dolt conveniently glosses over the fact that he ignored the 5 MAN POSITION GROUP for half a decade in the draft. It's 5 positions you have to fill. Occasionally spending an early pick on it isn't going to cut it. They have to overcompensate just to get back to a normal level of attention. It also doesn't help when your most recent 1st round OL pick comes in pre-injured and sucks.

    why are you looking for generic college football apparel? It would be smarter to search "bowl schedules". There is just no reason to add more words than is necessary to get the result you want. It's unrealistic to think normal people would do that on any sort of regular basis.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, unless you have boycotted the site that's the best way to get what you want.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    that was crushed
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I've been watching for about 3 innings and think the Cubs hitters have averaged 1.1 pitchers per PA in that time.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    the only thing I could think of that would be normal would be something like college football recruiting schedule, or college football betting lines.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    You're right, the word college would totally throw off the search and give me wrong results. Why would you add unnecessary words? You're lying or not very smart. I wouldn't search Chicago Bears National Football League schedule. You wouldn't search New Mexico State College football schedule. You'd type in New Mexico State, and football would come up automatically and unless you were afraid of not having the schedule come up in the first selection you'd stop there. But you would not enter the word college for no good reason. It would be really freaking stupid.

    hehe, nyjer lost it

    I was referred to NSBB. I've located other Cubs message boards by, you know, googling Cubs message boards or Cubs fan sites. I've found other decent sports fan sites/forums by googling for them too. Web developers spend hours upon hours improving their SEO specifically so they'll come up higher in google searches. Oh, and if I want New Mexico State's football schedule, I'd probably search "New Mexico State college football schedule", yes. Maybe with a specific year if I wanted, say, next year's schedule. You would not arbitrarily throw the word college into that search. That would be stupid.

    Castro followed up a great rookie year with another nice performance. Garza. Yeah, he's been pretty good. But certainly not anything better than expected or terrific. He's pitched well enough but his terrible fielding and plate appearances are going to hurt his results.
