    Putting him in the bullpen kills his trade value. Complaining that he pitched poorly for a year and a half hurts his trade value. Pulling a Hendry and insisting on trading the guy kills his trade value. Him saying this is his last contract and he wants to be with his family doesn't really matter. Besides, he can always sign an extension to this contract and say this was still his last contract.

    No it is not.

    When the Cubs are on the road Marla's switches teams (HOT!!!), and runs a concession stand with the White Sox (oh).

    Any Yankee game, on YES or any other network. 5 hours of chinese water torture.

    I'm not necessarily talking about tuning out on a lost Cubs season. If you like baseball at all, how can you not enjoy the September races and subsequent postseason? Because baseball is boring. If my team isn't playing, the only way I'm watching another regular season game is if I get free tickets to a game or if the game is on in the background at a bar. Yankees games are the worst thing on television. I'll turn on the playoffs, but won't have trouble walking away or ignoring it.

    Omiyale did give up on that block, but Cutler has to know they aren't blocking for that long. He held it too long, and then should have felt pressure from behind and just tucked it down. Then again, it wasn't that far from being incomplete with the arm moving forward.

    There's no argument.

    Sexy time. Looks like Forte is ready to step-in whenever Urlacher bows out as the face of the franchise (he knocked up somebody that isn't his fiance, who, coincidentally enough, isn't his fiance anymore either).

    Just some of it?

    He was disappointing on the right side last year.

    I thought he was disappointing.

    I have no interest in the Australian (when is that January?), and have only ever cared about Wimbledon and some of the French. There's too much other stuff going on to care about the US open, and there's nothing worse than bandwagon NYC tennis fans who suddenly become experts and obsessed with it for 2 weeks.

    I'm more interested in Nadal than Federer. I even switched over to the match last night during the last set to catch him winning the title. That's a big deal for me, but in fairness the Jets/Ravens game was pretty lackluster. I do want to see an American though. agreed, nadal is more watchable. and i'm glad finally someone other than federer is on top. i just want to watch tennis and care about it again. There's only about three weeks a year I've ever watched tennis and cared about it, and it sure as heck isn't going to be once football has started up.

    Of the two exceptions mentioned, 3 of the 4 losses were to really good football teams, 2 of them went 13-3 and the other was a 12-4 super bowl participant. I think it has more to do with who you lose to. Yes, that Cowboys example lost to what turned out to be a crappy Redskins team that was 2 years removed from being great. On the other hand, if Dallas goes 0-2 this year it will be against a couple squads that have peaked at mediocrity the past 3 seasons and aren't anything special. Raw's rule holds up in that context. Dallas itself has been an inconsistent performer of late, and they have tougher tests going forward. They can't go 0-2 with the schedule they have left.

    Because Tony LaRussa is a huge star manager. Nobody knows Mike Quade. McGwire wasn't on the path to becoming manager either or campaigning for the job. Ryno very clearly wants the top job, and if he loses it to Mike Quade that is going to be a story. I'm not saying it would have a real negative effect on the team, I'm saying it's a PR issue the team might not want to deal with.

    He's a hall of fame player and THE face of the resurgance of the Cubs that happened in the 80's. That's when the Cubs went from sparsely attended crappy team to occasionally good worthwhile attraction for most of Chicago. He is going to get all the spring training media attention. The camera is going to be on him a lot. Nobody gives a crap about Bob Dernier, let alone a guy that played for the Tigers. Nobody would even recognize Quade on the street. I know, but Quade would be the guy doing all the interviews, the post-game. You'd have Hendry talking about Quade. You have the organization pointing to Quade. You have Ryno pointing at Quade. I understand what you're saying but I don't think it's something that should make the decision for the organization. It's something to deal with; not something to override hiring Quade if they feel he's the guy who should be the manager. I'm saying it may be a reason for them not to hire Sandberg as bench coach, not preventing Quade to be manager.

    Down to a 7.5 point spread already. That's 1.5 points of movement in the Bears direction in 2 weeks.

    I really don't see how being bench coach could be considered any sort of slap in the face regardless of whether he did what was asked of him already. Not that I think it's necessary, but it shouldn't be hard to say the next step is coaching in the majors. I also don't see them doing it since Sandberg would more or less outshine his boss.

    According to the TV there weren't enough fans in the stadium to do the wave by the 9th.

    I don't think a quality RF bat is going to make any difference from this year's team. They are 4th in the NL in RF OPS, 36 points above the average. At 1B, they are 13th and 70 points below the average.

    And show them where the best restaurants are, what table to sit at, the best things on the menu and how to get into all the after parties.

    It's hard work and exhausting to keep your composure when you are on the verge of a major victory. Aside from the energy lost just playing the game, I'm sure it's a very natural reaction to just have your body more or less give out when you go from staying calm cool and collected to champion.

    There's a difference between understanding that the call was correct, but disagreeing with the rule...and thinking it should have been called a TD. The screenshot he linked didn't say anything about disagreeing with the rule. Just that it should have been a TD...which of course, by rule, it shouldn't have been. The more I've read about it the less I think the rule needs to be changed. Johnson lost control of the ball. Had he held on, it's a TD. You can't really make the rule specific enough to differentiate between plays that should be a TD, and plays that shouldn't. Just catch the ball and keep it, and it's a TD. Worry about the celebration later, and style points don't exist. You can't compare it to the runner who crosses the plane, because the difference between a run and a pass is huge. On a run, the ball is never going to be dead until the whistle blows. A forward pass must be completed. If a guy catches one outstretched in the end zone, gets both feet in, falls to the ground and drops the ball, it's not a TD. If you want that to be a TD, then change the rule. But don't change the rule because Johnson felt it necessary to land on the ball with one hand and lose control.
