    With Micah you are guaranteed to get nothing at 1B. With Johnson at least there is a realistic hope for quality production. I would not make it the focus of my offseason and would be bummed if they did it, but I see no reason to purposefully lock-in crap production.

    Way to research why he punched said cab driver. There are absolutely no character concerns with this guy. Was he out boozing with Kane?

    The story was about body language that blames others. That's Philip Rivers. Jay Cutler's body language is just guy who gets bummed out after bad play. I have not gotten the impression that his body language is blaming others. I agree with you, but I think there are plenty of people who disagree. I think there are, and I've never understood it. Before he was on the Bears radar I liked the guy and despised the way Rivers acts on the field.

    I have no desire to lock-in a 795 OPS at first base.

    They've had a crap ton of 3rd round and higher draft picks the last several years. 2nd and 3rd round picks are fantastic values as those guys aren't nearly the risk that top 10-15 picks are and yet you keep them under contract for several years at lower salaries. Look at the contracts the Bears gave guys like Omiyale, Manumanu and Taylor and compare them to the contracts that guys drafted in the 2nd and 3rd round get.

    CJ Spiller getting used to winter up north.

    I think that's definitely the case. Although I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't find out about Moss right away.

    Is that Martz? That sounds like a pretty smart way of avoiding having to say that you prefer your guys.

    Rachel? She may have, but I'm not sure how that would make him go broke. He did leave the game right before the market/real estate hit their peaks and I could easily see somebody in his shoes becoming overexposed to both markets by chasing big returns. He made less than $19m in his career, so you figure 50% of that goes to taxes and agents, that's $9m in his pocket. He probably burned through a couple million just living like a big leaguer, then spent a couple more million on a house and cars. That would leave him with $4-5m on investible assets to throw at a project or two. You can retire on that, but at 40 that's a long way to go with no income unless you downsize a whole hell of a lot.

    I didn't think it was all that confusing.

    I'm going to guess Fleita will fill the vacancy by hiring the AAA manager. He is in charge of minor league development, so hiring minor league managers seems like something he would do. If he's becoming the AAA manager that would indicate a really extreme cost containment plan by the Cubs.

    I thought it was pretty clear she was pretty well plowed. I don't think rational thought was a big factor in that clip. But it's possible to be really drunk and not do a strip tease in the front row of an arena filled with people that have cameras.

    that was last week.

    Deadspin found her identity but not until somebody who claimed to know her pleaded with them not to reveal her identity because it would ruin her. And they didn't. But that seems odd since apparently everybody on campus already knows who she is and it's going to get out there anyway. She wrote some stuff about giving up trying to please other people and just living for herself. Not sure if that was before or after her strip tease. The thing I don't get is how kids of that generation don't understand yet how this stuff is going to get out and "ruin your life" so why do it? That became clear in the mid 90s when the internet first went big and she's lived her entire life in the internet era.

    I don't believe they did. The note I saw said he was under hospice care at his home.

    2011 win/loss record isn't the end measurement. I think Sandberg's obsessions about how the game should be played in the long run will have a negative effect on the team. I think he made a clown of himself by getting thrown out so often in order to prove he's serious or something. I think the fact that after 4 years of coaching he refuses to stay in the minors and insists on leaving the organization because he didn't get the job indicates a delusional mindset. There is absolutely nothing wrong with pursuing better jobs, but you can do it without cutting ties to your current organization before actually getting a better job. Ryno made it clear he had no interest in being a bench coach, it was all or nothing for him. Don Mattingly spent 7 years as an instructor and another 6 as either bench/hitting coach before getting a gig. Willie Randolph spent 11 years as a coach. All sorts of guys have spent decades coaching in the minors before getting a shot in the bigs. Ryno spent 4 years coaching in the minors, receiving a promotion every year, and he up and leaves after 1 season of AAA ball? It's not a matter of pursuing better jobs, any organization is going to allow a minor league coach to take a major league job elsewhere. Sandberg left before he had any other gig. That's petulent behavior, which is something he displayed as a coach repeatedly.

    Seperate knob?

    When I heard the hospice story I was thinking, "yeah, lots of 90 year olds go through that at the end."

    One day after the hospice story broke Sparky Anderson died.
