  1. You're bad at sandwiches if bread is ever the main ingredient. seriously that made no sense at all.
  2. After the first drive me hopes were high. After GB's first drive they dropped off quite a bit. And after the half ended I thought they blew their chance to stay in the race.
  3. The only connection I was making between Lake and Baez was that Lake was a major point of contention last offseason, and Baez might be this offseason. I'm not really down on Baez. I honestly just don't know anymore what's going to happen with him. I said that *if* they think he's going to be this bad again early next year, I'd rather send him back to Iowa for awhile (only 22) than eat the extra loss or two. To which some people insanely replied "If we've got enough other good players, we can afford to take the extra loss or two," which completely flies in the face of years of talking about how wins are at their most valuable and least expendable for teams in the mid-to-high 80s. go learn to be happy again
  4. No no no no no no. The reasons to be cautiously optimistic about Lake amounted to "might as well look on the bright side of life", while the reasons to be cautiously optimistic about Baez boil down to he is actually an extremely talented baseball player.
  5. Of course http://static.parade.condenast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/mapled-glazed-waffle-sandwich-ftr.jpg
  6. I'm riding high on last offseason's "Kyle shut up, Junior Lake's not going to be that terrible, line drive percentage means everything!" success. there was a Junior Lake is not going to be terrible crowd?
  7. Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter · 5m With injuries to DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, Panthers' new starting RB is Darrin Reaves.
  8. yeah, something called against Long was more likely on DLP.

  10. Explain. Not that I don't think you know what you're talking about, but I was online and the feed isn't exactly HD clear. Run game finally got going (though I didn't see a ton of interior push. Cutler was protected pretty well. If I had to guess, I'd say DLP was no worse than OK. It looked like Kyle Long was excellent from what I could tell, though. what was with the center/QB exchange issues? Ah yes those. IDK. Looked like Cutler was pulling out too early to me. I'm blaming him because DLP didn't immediately go after either (or any, was there 2 or 3?) of the fumbles. Maybe that was the case, but I think the default blame for any qb/c snafu is going to be on the new guy.

  12. Oh god I can't wait until 2016 when we miss the playoffs by two games because we just had to let Kyle Schwarber take his lumps. That's a terrible way to run a baseball team. If the kid is worthwhile, he'll make himself the best option. Giving them the time they need is what the minors are for. No you dolt. You never "know" that the kid is the absolute best option right now. That is the point. Your absurdly stupid criteria for allowing a young player to take over a position is the Dusty Baker method and the exact wrong way to run anything.
  13. Yeah, that is unreasonable. With almost all kids there is a point where you have to take the risk that somebody may currently be a better option, but your kid needs the time.

  15. The bottom line is they didn't score. That is the whole point. Trestman has been a terrific influence on the offensive system, but he suffers from significant weakness when it comes to NFL head coaching duties, including time management and just knowing the GD rules. Time management on the field is his fault? Why isn't that Cutler's fault? The decision when to call timeouts comes from the head coach. The pace of play also comes from the sideline. It's not like Cutler is dicking around and they are imploring him to get more aggressive.
  16. The Cubs having good players elsewhere doesn't mean that a terrible player doesn't hurt them. At what point does Baez's development become less important than what's best for the whole team? The Cubs having good players elsewhere does mean you can withstand a little bit of terribleness elsewhere.
  17. It was kinda underwhelming to say the least. Most of us were expecting some retrospective of all the highlights that the Cubs had on WGN. To walk away like this without a mention was terrible. Bozo's Circus got a bigger send-off. The Cubs are a surviving entity that will go on to do better things on another network. Who cares about WGN?
  18. Considering the inability to make moves for over a month now you shouldn't even think about holding your breath.
  19. But I thought the whole theory was he takes time to adjust. If this happens he will have to go through a whole set of new AAA struggles before adjusting, and then when he comes back up to MLB he will have to go through the MLB struggles again.

  21. Hahahahahahahahaha Schedenfraude
  22. Tampa is dumb
  23. You don't think they can win in Carolina? I'm not very confident in them next weekend. ETA: The Bears struggle with offenses similar to the Panthers (mobile QBs, zone read), and the last few games notwithstanding, the Panthers are an elite defense. 4 games in, zero well played games.
  24. Qotd "lovie smith rarely shows emotions"
  25. He almost killed Tuvo. A week ago
