    I prefer 1:00 since I can get a little more sleep. But year, the early Sunday kickoffs are the absolute best gamedays. And the Bears don't get a 2nd one until late October.

    If he was a good defender, I'd be okay with his lack of productivity. But this remains a very expensive ballclub with far too many shortcomings, and they need all the help they can get.

    Seriously, this is taking too long. I want football now. And it better not be any of that unfair overtime nonsense football.

    No, what I'm saying is all the whiny babies who cry about OT being unfair are completely ridiculous and they need to shut up. Nobody is being robbed of anything. It is fair. Everybody has the same chance, they had the same chance when they took the field that day (discounting HFA, weather conditions, health, etc) and they had the same change when regulation ended. If you lose in OT, too bad, you lost a football game. If you cry about losing in OT, you are an idiot. Yeah, that's a poor argument. It's fair because you say so. BS. Yes, everyone had a fair chance in regulation, and nobody was able to get it done. OT is essentially it's own game. And someone is getting an unfair advantage. And there's no reason that it has to be that way. If there's a better way to do it, why not do it? What are you opposed to here? Because nobody has a better option. I'm opposed to all the over the top whining every time a game ends in OT. It's ridiculous. It is not unfair. Everybody had the same chance to win the game, and one team did while the other team didn't. Boo freaking hoo. It's people trying to invent a problem where there isn't one. College OT is it's own game. It's own made up game that is not football. NFL OT is pure sudden death end of game that's it.

    It already is fair and yes it absolutely would extend the game much. It's sudden death for a reason.

    First bat off the bench. How often has Lou used Miles in that manner this year?

    What if you are a quick strike team that doesn't have long drives but scores quickly. Or what if you are a defense that isn't afraid to give up yardage because you play for the turnover. Seems unfair to those guys. You didn't outscore your opponent in regulation but you still have a chance to win the game, consider yourself lucky regardless of the outcome of the coin flip.

    As a Cub Harden has essentially averaged 1-1.5 fewer outs per start than his fellow starters.

    One coin toss has a minuscule effect on the game. One does not. People don't talk about the one and they talk about the other. Comparing the two is silly. Once the opening coin toss winner starts winning 60% of the games, that'll be a reasonable comparison It's unreasonable to whine about the coin toss. It's unreasonable, stupid, idiotic, waste of time, ridiculous, etc, etc. THEY HAD 60 FREAKING MINUTES. OT coin flip winners don't win 60% of the games because the vast majority of games are one in regulation when you are supposed to win the damn game instead of playing for a tie and whining about how unfair life is that both teams didn't get to touch the ball.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Completely agree ... the overtime system heavily favors the team that won the coin toss. It's not fair. This isn't college, thisn't is high school, this is the NFL. The Titans had 60 minutes to win the game and they didn't. Just because they didn't win the coin toss, or stop the Steelers when the needed too doesnt mean it's unfair. I truly doubt you'll hear any Titan player complain about th OT rules being unfair. The Titans didn't stop the Steelers in OT and that is ON them, an not the OT rules. The OT rules are fine. Let me ask you this. Are you denying that the coin toss is a factor in determining the winner? The opening coin toss is a factor in determing the winner of any game. This is a very stupid topic that needs to stop being discussed. The people who cry about OT rules every damn time a game goes to OT refuse to acknowledge the simple fact that both teams had 60 minutes to score more than their opponent and that none of their proposals are realistic or better. Football is a long freaking game. The 1:00 games end after 4, the night time games end after midnight on the east coast. Insisting on both teams touching the ball is freaking stupid. They had their chance. Nobody is getting screwed over, nobody is being robbed of anything.

    I'm fairly certain that if Hoff wasn't in there, Fukudome and Bradley would not be batting 1/2.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Testes on the inside, I hate when that happens. Hurts like a bitch.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    So is everybody bored with football already?
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I have a problem with it. Pre-prime hitters are an incredibly valuable commodity. The only one the Cubs have actually gone out and acquired is Ramirez, whom they got because Pittsburgh couldn't make payroll and had to dump contracts. Add to that their insistence on targeting specific types of players, and quite often the wrong type of player and it's just incredibly frustrating.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    First game of the year and I already have to listen to morons whine about how unfair overtime rules are, completely ignoring the fact that the losing team already had 60 minutes to come away with the win. Shut up already. Games aren't decided by a coin flip.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I couldn't agree more with the last sentence, although not entirely for the NLCS and WS reasons they list here. The overpaying for for offense is definitely a part of it. Identifying some senseless factor like LH middle of the order bat or speed etc. instead of just getting good ballplayers is the biggest reason. To their credit though, that's kind of been the plan all along. They decided that in order to be like Atlanta they'd draft/develop pitchers and trade for/sign bats. It hasn't worked out all that great, other than the pitchers part. They have been at the bottom of the league in runs scored for much of the decade. Hopefully the Wilken guys do better.

    What came first, the Cub or the egg?

    When the Cubs have their regular lineup healthy (which hasn't been often in the past year), you can't tell me that Aram, DLee, Soriano, Bradley, and Soto (circa 2008) can't support a .290 singles hitter in the lineup. Sure when they have a bunch of guys in their 30's with various degrees of reoccuring/lingering injury issues plus a catcher with one good year under his belt all at their best, they can hide Theriot. I don't know why you'd assume all those guys would be healthy and at their best next season though. That of course just emphasizes the point that the guy needs to be hidden because he's not good, he's also aging, and if this team wants to get better they should look long and hard at replacing him.

    Not that odd that you'd pick the home team in an opening day game among two teams you consider more or less equals.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Burke and Colvin struck out at about the same rate, right? And Burke did it while walking a whole lot more, which is much more acceptable.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    seriously? those are all terrible teams. Iowa's terribler. i mean Northern Iowa's win over Iowa State in 2007 is worth more than a win against freakin notre dame. I don't see how a win over a mid-level FCS team is worth more than a win against ND Because ND is a joke.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    wake and rutgers are @Pitt and @ND the year before, plus a 3-point loss to Utah in the bowl game. East Carolina, @Stanford, @UConn in 2006, plus a 1-point loss to BC in the bowl game. Colorado State in the bowl game in 2005. Navy has at least 1 win in any given year, and usually more, bigger than anything Northern Iowa has ever won. This is, IMO, a ridiculous argument. Pitt, and especially ND, are also scrub teams.

    You're trying really hard to talk yourself into that one, and in the end you still have nothing positive to say about the player. ;) huh considering the rates at which players make the bigs, saying that I think a guy can make the bigs ... well, I thought that was very positive, particularly considering how much discussion Colvin has engendered. I was a fan of the pick then, and he'll likely make the bigs. Again ... how's that ... not positive? He was a first round draft pick coming out of a big college, just making the bigs isn't much of an accomplishment and it does not make it a fine pick. Luis Montanez has seen the big leagues, doesn't make him a good pick.
