    Damn, that sucked. I hate when they lose games they control.

    rotoworld said 6 year 42m, 18m in bonus, 900k-1.5m per year for 2009-2012, potential for 4m incentives. I'm guessing it's roughly a 4/9-12m right now including 2009.

    His base salary for 2009-2012 is quite small. Most of his contract was likely tied up in bonus money that was likely already paid. I'm guess that much like Cutler, this is a very Bears friendly cap situation right now. And their own D ends are going to cost so much more in new contracts.

    Yeah, the local sports media is making the weather out to be a big deal and a huge advantage for the Yankees. It's not like they've been playing in this weather all year (or that they are used to playing in October), and this isn't two different styled football teams. I'm not sure how this favors anybody. But the fans are going to freeze their asses off.

    the weather is absolutely horrible here. It feels like mid-30's (even though it's actually in the 40's) and it's very damp out.

    There is his quote I understand, but that doesn't mean much. He's been a major league hitting coach for a decade and a half, unless he's got a nasty coke, gambling or whore problem I doubt he's desperate for security. I'm sure some of it was not wanting to take a 1-year deal at a place he'd been at for very long. Mark Grace left the Cubs after being insulted by the offer they gave him, then he took less to go to Arizona. Either way, a 2-year contract is very easy to offer and provide that security, even if they clean house next offseason he'd be guaranteed the security of that 2nd year.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    Was it really security or was it something more like he'd been there forever and thought the offer was an insult and is moving on out of pride?

    He's playing without it. He was quoted saying something about being Samoan with very large legs that allow his muscles to do the work. I think Chris Chelios has played without some knee ligaments for years.

    The only reason I remember him is from one of the first mlb video games I played that had the actual rosters. He and Ozzie Timmons are the guys I remember from that era. Man the Cubs sucked in the 90's.

    http://deadspin.com/5383328/god-bless-ronan-tynans-anti+semitism Ronan Tynan no longer singing god bless america during the stretch. Before you get fooled into thinking this might make watching a Yankees home playoff game more bearable: They are still going to use that completely unfair "freeze" out of the opposing pitcher.

    How is Granderson a little Soriano?
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Yes, he's shown he can be a factor. But he's a tiny WR with limited abilities, and some people are overstating how good he's been. How does he have limited abilities? Fastest player on the team, shown good hands so far, has shown he's can make a play in the open field. He's not going to win jump balls or fight through double teams or ever be an elite receiver. He's a nice player, I really like him, I'm just saying some of the love went to the extreme really fast. As I edited, you could say the same thing about Hester and Bennett. The love is a bit much, though, I agree. After seeing the plays Braylon made for the Jets, that's what's missing from the Bears offense. A big WR that can get the ball in traffic. Yeah, I wasn't saying those other two were without flaws either. Knox is a nice player, though, just as those other guys are.

    You'd only take Ben over Garcia because of his age? That's kind of nuts.

    Um, because he's one full season removed from a career year, and wrist injuries heal? Yes, he'll be 35 next year, but he's better than Fontenot, and the middle infield FA market isn't that deep. He's not the cure-all, but he falls under the category of "better than what we have now, and affordable." He's a season removed from a career year, and you are using that as a good thing? He followed that career year with more of his typical career mediocrity. And the fact that injuries heal is meaningless, while the fact that he is 35 is not.

    I think the word is obliviousness, although I'm not sure if that's a word.

    I'm hearing "estamos en el mundial", but what is he saying about "los estados unidos"?
  20. jersey cubs fan
    He's very quick to point out Bear weaknesses, but then when someone calls him on it he gets really defensive. I hate that the other guy (was that Zaidman) basically serves as his brown nose, agreeing with everything he says. It's a really bad segment/show. I like Zaidman when he does a little 10 min Bears report during one of the other Score shows...he's good in that role. But he's a terrible host. Hub's argument against Knox last night was "he's still a rookie from Abilene Christian." Come on. That's just plain old lazy. I don't know what he was saying, but the Knox love has gone a little overboard.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    It still bothers me that when they drafted him, they made a point to say he was not a leadoff hitter, but a middle of the order guy with some pop. And then they allowed the freaking coaching staff to try and turn him into a slappy leadoff hitter. Absolutely ridiculous.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Since it is no longer 2008 that is not possible.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Trading a guy isn't really giving up on a guy. If you wait until you are ready to give up on somebody to trade them, you won't get crap in return.

    directv has it through Oct 24, but games on versus are not shown on center ice.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Oops. He forgot part of the hypothetical. As part of getting this GM job, you now look exactly like Jim Hendry. The kind of chicks that would double down on him would need $145 million.
