    What a clusterpuck

    If this is $2m or under, I really don't have any problem with it. 2/$12m would be absurd, and 1/$6m would also be an unnecessary risk. But a deal that allows for flexibility to bring in more pitching should be kind of low.

    I think most likely that would turn the field into a swamp that would then freeze and be worse than Soldier Field and Heinz Field turf. Not if you keep the heaters on the field until after the game. My god man, do I have to think of everything? Hester could do that "cooling off his feet" thing and it would be for real.

    Cutler, Roethlisberger or Josh Freeman?

    But Detroit isn't good against the run either. And they don't pass because they don't need to to beat them. Pretty much every coach would prefer to run if that is all it took to beat a team. Additionally, Detroit is a pass happy team with a lot of incompletions, so the clock isn't running very fast in their games.

    So you think the reports saying they'll likely move him back to the rotation after acquiring a veteran reliever are wrong? A couple things. I think UK originally wrote that signing a starting pitcher and keeping Cashner in the pen would result in Cashner going between AAA and Chicago's bullpen, and that would be worse than signing a questionabl set-up man (Wood) and moving Cashner back to the rotation. At the same time, a reliever probably bumps Cashner to the pen, but if that reliever isn't healthy enough to start the season, or misses time midseason, Cashner is probably first option to go back to bullpen and fill-in.

    Why would something like "all conference champs are invited" be a bad thing? 11 conference champions and 5 WC teams sounds fair to me. And if they're so bad they won't make it past the first round, now will they? so they shouldn't be there.

    Your argument is stupid. They aren't successful but they are still good?

    Wright is probably overrated. But he's very good. He's been better than Ramirez.

    http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/12/nfl-no-plans-no-deadline-to-shift-bears-game.html NFL going full bore with TCF. If this game ends up being moved they have handled this so freaking poorly.

    These guys love Mark Grace who never met a bartender he didn't put through college.

    the secondary or the entire defensive unit? we're also much improved since the start of the season, due mainly to C.C. (can't cover) Brown and Wade getting benched, and Levy getting healthy. imagine that. And achieved the 4th most yards per attempt. Imagine that.

    They have had close games, but in a lot of cases teams had leads that Detroit ate away at. The Bears dominated game 1 and should have won walking away until Detroit made it close. The Giants led by 11 going into the 4th quarter, Detroit cut it to 4, then NYG extended it back to 11 before the Lions brought it back to 8. The score was relatively close but the Giants weren't going to throw much in the 2nd half. Philly led by as much as 18 in the 4th quarter but Detroit made it close late, and it was Vick's first start. They lost by 2 at Green Bay but were down by 14 early in the 3rd. The Packers only threw 17 passes that day. Teams probably should pass more against them, but Detroit isn't great against the run either and when NFL teams get leads they generally don't like to chuck it around, unless they are the Patriots.

    It's not awful though. It is when you consider nobody has to pass on them much since the opponent is usually ahead and Detroit gives up the 4th highest yards per attempt. They are in 6th place, 3 off the lead, in sacks. It's quite obvious the secondary is the weak link. I seem to feel like a majority of the games Detroit has played this season have been really close, and quite a few of them had the teams seperated by a score well into the 4th quarter. Some with Detroit leading until the end. Teams have thrown the 6th fewest pass attempts against Detroit and they have given up the 4th more yards per attempt. Nobody tries to pass on them, but when they do, they are successful.

    Why is that? He is capable of pitching two innings right now. That is what every pitcher starts off with in spring training and they build from there. So it's not a matter of being stretched out in time. "Waiting until late December" doesn't impact his ability to start at all. What will limit him is the fact that he only pitched 111 innings last season. To take him much beyond 150 this season would be dangerous. That would be 30 starts of 5 innings each or 25 starts of 6 innings each. If Cashner averaged 6 innings per start this season and starts 25 times, I'd be thrilled. It is a matter of being stretched out in time. He made 9 starts last year. He had 24 the year before and he has always struggled to go past 5 innings in the first place.

    I'm taping it for my cheap ass non HBO having brother-in-law Pittsburgh fan.

    A team with a payroll recently in the 140m range has to spread out a 1 year contract over 3 years now. That's just awesome! That isn't really the case. He gets an immediate signing bonus, which has been a Cubs staple for some reason. The 2011 salary would appear to be $3m and he is reportedly due $5m in January 2012, which means $10m will be paid out over 13 months.

    You have an interesting notion of who looks young.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    13th in passing yards allowed is elite
  23. jersey cubs fan
    That is a morbid thought.

    I love college football and would prefer a better version of the national championship game. The 16-team playoff is a dumb idea. We aren't really asking what your preference is here. The question is would you watch the slate of games that Raisin listed? It's a meaningless list because that is not how it would play out. It's not just the slate of first round games either, it's letting in teams that do not deserve a shot and destroying a significant amount of meaning of regular season games.
