    Are you a Cubs fan? If so, you shouldn't want to handicap the Cubs by forcing them to play 2 of the best teams every year while their competition would almost always play somebody weaker. I'm fine with playing them once every few years.

    I don't like the Cuba jersey, and I like dark blue, but no pinstripes on that one.

    If the question is when are you allowed to talk about magic numbers, I'd say as soon as you can accurately figure it out.
  4. jersey cubs fan
    They are the same in that they are sleeved buttoned up shirts with Cubs related names, numbers and logos on them. Otherwise they are quite different from what they currently wear.

    I don't know how much talk there has been, but the Bears do use their TE in the slot on occasion.

    why does any olympic athlete that anyone thinks is hot have to have a face like ivan drago? If Ivan Drago looked like that I'd go gay. you'd sleep with ivan drago? awesome. I don't know how much sleeping we'd be doing.

    They might win 100 games. If they do that and win the world series, they will be among a fairly large group of really really good champions. But I don't know about "over the top great". 100 wins, a run differential of near 200, and a championship would have to qualify in my book. Especially (but not limited to) within the context of what's being said in this thread...only an idiot would question that team's legitimacy as a deserving champion. This team is very good to great in every facet of the game. I don't know if you'd need them to challenge the win record or something to be considered "over the top great"...?? I don't know what over the top great means, but it sounds to me like something that requires something along the lines of record setting seasons. There's the top, and then there's over the top. The 98 Yankees were probably over the top great. 110 wins, 300+ run differential, 11-2 in the postseason, 3-4 Hall of Fame players. The 2002 Angels were not over the top great. 99 wins, 200+ run differential.

    There would be no "bad" team, other than for a TV viewer having to watch a game in Tampa. History will remember a team won the World Series.

    The red underlined Chicago looks hideous, as does the all-white. I do like the idea of navy blue, the throwback unis they wore back in one of the first interleague seasons in US Cellular were great.

    I think it's a pretty convenient excuse to say these were non-pitching related injuries.

    They were talking about that on comcast a little while ago. Does he have any speed left? If not, then I don't see how he would help us. We've already got a cadre of slower possession type receivers. Getting Horn is akin to the Sox getting Griffey: get an old, slow player for an old, slow team. Why? Yeah if he's slow now, I don't see the point. Actually I didn't see the point of Booker either, but that's another story. I'm gonna make a prediction: Booker doesn't make the team. That has certainly picked up steam in the past week or two. He's essentially a slight downgrade to Moose, but Moose was pretty worthless last year. I'd prefer it if some younger guys beat him out, which at the very least could be a positive in the future. Booker isn't going to be a part of this team if/when they ever return to elite SB contender status.

    Fixed. Thanks for the post but it really doesn't matter. The fact they fail to see anything with regards to Sori and what his value is speaks to how clueless they really are. I gave them the team record and personal stats and it still doesn't register with them. No worries. The team record with and without him has absolutely no baring on the freaking MVP voting. It's an oscure point of trivia. The guy is a valuable member of the Cubs. He is not a legit MVP candidate in the national league this year.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    oh please A person made a stupid argument based on random bits of trivia and he refused to defend it with any logic.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    It's not a matter of whether or not he is considered. But if somebody has better numbers and ends up playing in 9-10 more games than him (he's on pace for 151) then it only makes sense that the other person would get the nod.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    The hope is that he'll pitch well enough in relief in September that he'll be in the postseason bullpen instead of Howry. maybe he will, but that is alot to hope for from a guy who's been out of action for a year and a history of arm troubles. I don't know if it's that much to hope for. Essentially people hope he pitches better than Howry has been pitching. His rehab progress suggests he may be able to do that, and Howry isn't exactly providing a difficult threshold.

    Calling for Rodgers head is stupid. He is essentially a rookie QB, and isn't going to be Brett Favre right away. In fact at his ceiling he isn't going to be anywhere close to Brett Favre. Packers fanse understand this and are willing to give him a chance. He is an unproven commidity and the Packers don't know what they have in him, and until they do the fanbase and franchise will remain commited. If Bears fans were calling for the head of Rodgers in the exact same situation in Chicago, and wanted Matt Flynn to start over him I think I would laugh myself to death. Some of these Bear fans? I wouldn't put it past 'em, given the hypothetical situation. Chicago is the town, after all, that has been in love with it's QB depth chart for over 20 years. They are also the town that hasn't had a really good QB in forever. The fans might not be calm, cool and collected, but they haven't been wrong about their QBs either. Guys didn't fail because fans were trigger happy. The team has done a horrible job bringing in offensive brainpower and quarterbacks. There's no disputing that fact.

    That ridiculous article aside. Hanie has nfl skills. I am glad we scooped him up. He looks better than Joe Flacco playing the same level of competition. Better arm more mobility. Nfl scouting is a joke. He was rated as a 4th rounder, I believe, by many. I like him too and hope they keep him on the roster instead of practice squad, where they could lose him.

    Gotta love ESPN's obsession with counting stats. When the counting stat is games played I think it matters. If two guys have the same rate stats, and one guy has played more, that guy contributed more and is more deserving of recognition. If the higher rate guy played considerably less than another player, that should count against his value. You should win an MVP by how well you perform over the 162 game season.

    Ok, so this is what I don't understand: I respect all the people who know all the stats there are to know about baseball, but they play no relevance in MVP, Cy Young, ROTY, etc. Everyone (not everyone, but you know what I mean) seems to think wins, hits, BA, and on and on and on are these pointless/meaningless stats that should have no bearing on anything, but they play a VERY VERY key role in end of season awards, etc. Thoughts? The people who vote are unenlightened goons who like doing things the way they have always been done, so they pay attention to stuff they shouldn't pay attention to.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Which fits in perfectly with the "why not Hanie" article somebody wrote this week. Why not? Well, because there's no way he's going to have success this year, and if there is any hope for his future, it would be destroyed if he was thrown to the wolves with this line and receiver group this year. The line has been the problem for years, yet people foolishly thought that having the same 5 playing every game somehow guaranteed they were playing well.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Have you seen the Cubs with and without him? Again, he is a leadoff hitter putting up these numbers. Yes, and who cares? If Lou decided to put him in the 5 spot and he put up the same numbers, would he be less of a candidate for MVP? If Houston decided Berkman should leadoff games, would that make him a better candidate for MVP? What a team does over the first 24 games a player returns from injury is a completely meaningless bit of trivia that has absolutely nothing to do with MVP voting.

    I think that is probably, but not necessarily true. It really doesn't have much to do with if Rex can't, Kyle can't. They are different QBs. Rex is the guy I'd prefer if they had a line and some threats. He's the guy who is capable of turning a decent offense into a great one. But he's also liable to turn a weak offense into a record settingly horrible one. Kyle probably will fail, because the offense is bad and nobody would have a good shot of succeeding in it. But he might be able to help prevent them from absolute disaster with the kind of off his heals horrible decisions Grossman has made. This team can't afford for the other defense to score points, and I think the other defense is more likely to score points with Rex as QB than with Kyle.
