I'd be really concerned about where this leaves Renteria, especially in the eyes of the players. Oh please! It's a business. Are you really concerned about Edwin Jackson's feelings? Wonder how Castillo will deal with such trauma? A number of the up and coming younger players wouldn't know Ricky from Len Kasper. They just want a chance to play and prove themselves. If I'm a free agent, Maddon has a resume. You aren't good at reading comprehension, are you?

2014-2015 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

Tracey Myers @TramyersCSN · 2m2 minutes ago #Blackhawks reassign Scott Darling to the Rockford IceHogs. -
Which begs the the question :how is this in any way news about Chris Denofria? the account only seems to exist to link to random baseball related articles a couple times a day
-
I referenced when he said something. I wasn't comparing the two. But you brought them up, so referencing them again is not "shoehorning" them into the discussion.
-
He took the shoe off the shelf and put it on the floor in front of him but did not expect you to place his foot inside.

So a rapist and an abuser, alright, that's a start.

I remain very skeptical about Maddon and his ability to make much of a difference on the field. I fear this has as much to do with providing a cost effective PR boost as making the team better. A 5/25 contract for a manager seems to have a lot of people falling head over heals while a 5/25 pitcher isn't going to create any excitement. They have a dwindling season ticket list and need to renegotiate TV rights. It used to be the Cubs would do something to boost excitement right around the time of the convention to carry over into spring training and single game ticket sales. They've more or less abandoned that process the past few years and now you have something that is being perceived as the most exciting thing to happen to the Cubs since Theo was hired, so it appears to be working. I really don't see Maddon making a huge difference in the win/loss column, but as long as he isn't the featured offseason acquisition he appears to be now, I'm moderately happy about it.

I get that they have a rapist at QB but what is it about the rest of the team? They don't seem any worse than the typical elite college team.

Cj Edwards @CEdwardsSBS · 6m6 minutes ago Stephen A Smith gets in my nerves

Last year Price, Moore, and Smyly(along with several relievers) all made extensive use of a cutter. Both Price and Smyly threw it more with the Rays than with the Tigers. I was going to say Price for sure threw it a bunch. Before he got traded, I think I saw him K 9 Pirates using primarily his cutter to RH hitters. Nice to have some facts with it. Not that I can imagine he'd interfere with the pitching coach (assuming its still Bosio) with the guys already throwing it (Arrieta). It seems like he doesn't want guys who are doing just fine with their regular stuff adding a cutter, but that wouldn't stop him from having a pitching coach introduce a cutter to a guy who has been less effective without it.

They don't bother me that much. I think it's clear that they are currently not a top 4 team. How is it clear? Because they don't play 60 great minutes every week? They still have the best player in college football, loads on NFL talent, and haven't lost a game in like 2 years. They aren't in the SEC.

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi · 13m13 minutes ago Cubs and Joe Maddon continue to make progress on a deal, sources say. Agreement not official yet but moving in that direction. @FOXSports

You round first hard regardless of whether that is a single or not.

Maddon was twitter verified today.

That's fair. Tough to sell a sport, though, without a title of some sort. Even in the "poll" days, people were obsessed with crowning a mythical champion. The growth of revenue in college football can be almost directly correlated to 3 things: 1. Football's overall popularity 2. Growth in the % of people going to college 3. Rise of the Bowl Alliance/Bowl Coalition/BCS/Playoff (this is why it will eventually be 8 or 12 or 16 teams) I would like the whole thing to figure itself out by the lower conferences (MAC, Sun Belt, Mountain West, CUSA, AAC) to just form their own division, have the power 5 add a few teams that belong in those groups (ND, maybe BYU, Boise, a few others--UCONN maybe, ECU maybe), then have an 8 team playoff. I highly doubt that ever happens, though, because of all of the backroom dealing and general awfulness of college sports. The strength of college football is tied to television distribution of regular season games, as everybody is obsessed with winning their conference and beating their rival. They've never had a postseason tourney yet the game has stacked up favorably to all sorts of other ones that do have that tourney and do rely on the need to crown a postseason champ. They playoff is just another product to sell, it's not vital to the concept of college football.
-
I would argue that there isn't a need to determine the best team and no postseason tourney is capable of doing that anyway.

doesn't help that they are talking like they are at a funeral I turned it off at that point. What the hell was with the hushed tones? Erin Andrews seemed like she didn't want to wake a baby.

Week 10: Bears (3-5) @ Packers (5-3) 7:30PM NBC/780
jersey cubs fan replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
Every NFL coach will want to bring in his own coordinators. That makes complete sense. Unlike Trestman though, Arians has ties to some actual good defensive minds. Trestman also wasn't an in demand NFL coach. -
Kaplan denies widely rumored move is 'official' or 'done. Meanwhile, sun sets in west. Bruce Miles @BruceMiles2112 · 9m9 minutes ago #Cubs say no deal yet with Maddon Bruce Miles @BruceMiles2112 · 7m7 minutes ago Other sources outside #Cubs say they've not heard Maddon deal is done -- yet.

He's had Wrigley Field on his twitter bio this whole time...
