    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.

    I remember when we hired Q, some of the talk was that he couldn't win in the big games, couldn't win in the playoffs. You can't win the big games, until suddenly you do win the big games. He's been the right guy at the right time for the Hawks. I heard some criticism about working with kids and winning in the playoffs. Neither holds up now.

    It's going to take quite a bit of work to turn this team into a regular 90 game winner (which is what they should be), but it really shouldn't take all that much investment to make them a contender in 2011. It's still the NL Central, where an 84 win pace is good enough for 2nd this year and none of the competition is elite. 80-something win seasons win this division as often as 90+ win seasons.

    Does their current status actually affect NCAA revenue? Deals are in place and contracts are signed years in advance, do you think they'd suffer much without them?

    Don Banks raised them from 29 to 25. Meanwhile he rips the pathetic Jets but keeps them in the top 10. I think the Jets and Bears aren't that far away from one another (and I'm not sure which team is better).

    That is your opinion, so by definition, it is questionable. Okay, without question from reasonable people. So, I'm unreasonable because I disagree with you? You kill me with your high and mighty BS. Wow man, chill out. I was kidding around. I think it's pretty clear williams is better than hillenmeyer, not accusing anybody who thinks Detroit was robbed of being some meatball who wants Ditka to fry them some brats. But it's backup linebackers we're talking about, not exactly a whole lot to go on. I still think Hunter outlived his usefulness a while ago.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    They put Hillenmeyer on the IR when he didn't think he needed to, so obviously they deemed him expendable.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    You're not making any sense.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    That is your opinion, so by definition, it is questionable. Okay, without question from reasonable people. Well, apparently the Bears' coaching and front office disagree with you. They traded one for another guy they thought they needed. Do you think they had the choice of which one to trade?

  15. jersey cubs fan
    Right, but why are you calling it that?
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Hillenmeyer stopped being useful a couple years ago. Williams is better than he is now, without question.

    They also had people leaving that city in droves, going elsewhere, but taking their fandom with them.

    He was over the top negative again last night with the "dog" comments. Lots of people are pissed at Aramis for talking about maybe not exercising his option but then saying that he probably will. I don't get why that causes consternation.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Why would the Cubs have to wait at least 2 seasons to rebuild? it might take that long to replace Hendry.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Stinger. It looks like a neck thing at first but usually doesn't have much lingering effects.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I must have missed where it said the game was on ESPN, but all I see is they are one of several opening day games. Whether or not they are ESPN is meaningless, it's opening day, any game is going to be pushed as big.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Lots of people taking the Cowboys as a suicide pick this week. But at the same time the line has gone from 8.5 to 8.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    That is a good one.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    What? A one time upper class organization that has been pretty crappy for a while now whose last really successful era was in the 70's? Kind of fits. Not sure who else is better.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah but I thought the Packers were the best match, making the playoffs almost as often as the Braves, and only winning 1 title each, in the mid-90's. I think the Packers are much better match for the Cardinals. A sanctimonious fan base that thinks it is the center of the heartland of its sport.
