  1. I've got a dumb question. can that be formatted to get on your ipod?
  2. Yeah, it's probably a lot more about regressing to the mean than just getting tired. But you still pretty much have to go with him in the playoffs, so rest him up now and hope he can have a few solid PA in the playoffs.
  3. There was a meeting with an arbitrator on Sept. 10th... but from what I understand, there was too much material to be covered in one day, and they were going to work on getting another date scheduled... which could take weeks. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3602002

  5. The Ed Hochuli mistake is barely a week old. And the hurricane weekend was also only a week ago. You're right. It's about the same time frame for both incidents. One of them they are saying "time to move on" the other one they're still passing out pity. I'm just saying, it's time to move on for both things. What I don't get is why they are giving the Astros a free pass for staying in Houston. They weren't forced to stay in Houston. Greenberg isn't even raising the point that they could have played the three games on normal rest in a neutral site if they were just not idiots about staying in Houston and trying to play there.
  6. I expect them to not defend and excuse the actions. The Bears have shot themselves in the foot with personal foul penalties throughout the Lovie era (or maybe more appropriately, the Kreutz era). I would be upset with them if they said Tillman cost the game, but they can acknowledge it was a mistake that shouldn't happen, while at the same time accepting responsibility for the loss across the board.
  7. I'm with you on the first point, but not the second. Theriot is the starting SS and one of only two SS on the roster.
  8. Good point. The nearest deli does sell beer. I could grab one at lunch and keep it in the fridge. Although I think I had about 80-90 beers this weekend and 5 shots of tequila, some of that has to to still be in my system. Maybe I shouldn't push it.
  9. I expect my lineup will be something like this: Pre-game 2 beers 1st inning 1 beer 2nd inning 1 beer 3rd inning 1 beer 1 hot dog 4th inning 1 beer 5th inning 1 beer 1 food item TBD 6th inning 2 beers 7th inning 2 beers hopefully carrying me over to the 8th and 9th. The pre-game is a bit weak. True, but I'll only be getting into Shea about 10-15 minutes before gametime and there is nowhere out there to grab a beer outside. I could brown bag it on the subway, but the wife will complain about that.
  10. I expect my lineup will be something like this: Pre-game 2 beers 1st inning 1 beer 2nd inning 1 beer 3rd inning 1 beer 1 hot dog 4th inning 1 beer 5th inning 1 beer 1 food item TBD 6th inning 2 beers 7th inning 2 beers hopefully carrying me over to the 8th and 9th.
  11. He hates white people.
  12. Well, Tillman is a part of that pass defense that couldn't stop Griese. I don't think anybody is putting the blame solely on Tillman, but he deserves fingers pointed his way. That was stupidity that has, unfortunately, been a familar site for Bears fans. What I don't get is putting a ton of blame on Orton. The INT TD was horrible, but Orton did as much as anybody could have expected coming into the season. Everybody said the defense was good enough to win games if the offense was just average, and the offense was more or less fine.
  13. Yeah, his grandmother should die more often. He's got to have other old relatives.
  14. It was not absolutely accurate. MLB has forced teams to play elsewhere in the past. These idiots thought it would have been perfectly fine to play 3 games after the regular season ends. They should have gotten out of there Friday, they have nobody but themselves (meaning players, coaches and owner) to blame.
  15. McNabb's looked meh the last 2 games, Westbrook's status I believe is up in the air as well. McNabb looked meh in Dallas?
  16. Sunday Night Football in Soldier Field. Philly is favored by 3 and I am actually a little surprised it wasn't more. The Bears pass defense is very easily shreddable, this one could get ugly in a hurry, and if they do fall to 1-3, they are going to have to pounce on the next four opponents, all winnable games, to stay in the race.
  17. gosh freaking darnit What a frustrating loss. They show just enough to make you think they can contend, but then the defense collapses at the end two games in a row. Stupid, stupid, stupid team.
  18. The key: Fans of teams long out of the race only care about what they can do this offseason to get better, and there's always a market for trade rumors.
  19. I'm sure he's talking about this offseason, none of those guys would have passed waivers.
  20. After week 1 I said I'd be all in on the Bears if they won in Carolina. The loss took some of the air out of the balloon, but I still have higher hopes for them than I did all offseason. But this is really a must win game if I'm going to keep any faith. If they can't beat Tampa, I don't think they can handle Philly, and then they'd be looking at 1-3. Tampa does nothing great, but they are good enough in most areas to win, but it's still a game that a contending Bears team would have to win.
  21. The guys I most want at the plate in a big spot are Ramirez, Soto, Edmonds and Fontenot. Jimmy's been more than alright. I love him long time.
  22. I think that's only in the AL. Really? That would be a strange rule to put in place if so. I thought they put it in place last year and that the choice would alternate between NL and AL. Thats correct. This year it is the NL's turn. The Cubs will get to pick which series they want. Huge advantage deciding which off-days they get. Longer spread out series or the quicker series in shorter days. MLB says otherwise. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/schedule/ps.jsp
  23. I got married in late October 2005, knowing full well the Cubs wouldn't be playing. When we started planning trips for this year, my wife knew the anniversary trip wasn't happening at the same time, even if it coincided with the Bears bye week. We've been invited to things throughout October and she just tells people, "It depends on the playoff schedule." I love her.
  24. I want to see a shirt that says, "people who were smart enough to get the hell out of Houston survived Ike just fine but for some reason we stayed around with our thumbs up our butts way too long and screwed ourselves."
