    You think it would be easier for Milwaukee to acquire free agents if there wasn't a salary cap? Like, they would outbid NY and LA?

    http://deadspin.com/italian-baseball-teams-major-league-parody-gets-real-r-1546288842 Oh Italy. I would say, "don't never change" but I know you won't anyway.

    Well, you are noticing it "all of a sudden" because this is the time of year when it makes sense to use.

    B&B is a terrible example to make your point. They mock everyone for having an opinion different from their own. The whole show is built around the "we're smarter than our listeners" schtick, and specifically screen to put the dumbest callers on the air. Don't see why that makes it a bad example. This "it had to happen this way" crowd are insufferable no matter their opinion on all other subjects.

    NFL on ESPN ‏@ESPNNFL 14m THIS JUST IN: The Dallas Cowboys have agreed on a 2 year deal w/former Browns QB Brandon Weeden.

    Fun times in Oakland.

    Sullivan has been making a big deal about that shrink for years.

    why would that be necessary? it's no secret what Pep does. they know what they're getting, and he knows what he does. exact detailed plans aren't needed. Yeah, what are they going to talk about?

    Were his eyes tired?

    I think the switch from Lovie and Marinelli to Trestman and Tucker (and the Canadian/inexperienced staff) definitely played a major part. Peppers, who by all accounts needs to be motivated to perform, did not perform as well as he could last year. Briggs barely bought in to the new regime and seemed to hold a grudge all year long.

    and it's clear as day why that is: north held your hand and gave you an opinion to adopt...he's probably somewhat right about it, but if he had also expended the energy to show why every other option after Lake is even all the more unappealing we'd be spared your repeated pathetic histrionics about it You seem mad about this. I'm not going to say this is 100% untrue. I wasn't always aware of how bad the batted ball distance stuff was. Was never a big fan of the majority of the profile but was more willing to give him a shot before that, for sure. And Vitters > Lake Vitters < everything.

    Not sure why Olt had to be replaced late.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    I don't understand "being impressed" by a front office not bringing a bad player north.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    That's crazy. Soler already looks like much less than a lock.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    He's widely respected and praised on any primetime game
  17. jersey cubs fan
    The assumption itself is not reasonable.

    I love Peanut, but there's no way he was more important than Urlacher to that defense, nor was he better than Urlacher. It seems like a few meatball comments since retirement have really skewed the view on Urlacher's career. He was awesome. Agree

    I'm so stupid. I saw tweets about a happy Hossa being on the ice and didn't understand what the big deal was.

    I have really liked what he's done in free agency in back to back seasons, specifically the way he has addressed the obvious needs so as to not force the team into drafting a specific position. The previous regime got stuck drafting Williams and Carimi specifically because of how desperate they were for the position without addressing it through other means previously. Emery seems to see his weak spots very well and has a plan of attack to upgrade those weak spots. I think the Hardin pick in inexcusable and the McClellin pick is disappointing, but all things considered I have liked a lot of what he's done.

    If the Cubs believe that Olt is "fixed" and is a potential long term Major League player, is there any chance they send him back to AAA for a few months so he doesn't accumulate the service time? He would only need to stay down a few more weeks than Baez. With his age and the organizational depth at 3B, I don't expect they would send him to AAA if they believe he is ready, but I wouldn't put it past this front office to want to buy themselves another year. I believe they would be better off giving Villanueva all the reps at 3B in AAA and starting Olt in the majors. Gives us the chance to showcase another above average trade chip every day at his natural position. Which one is the trade chip in this scenario?

    I don't need to like or respect athletes to root for them. Yeah, the vast majority of professional athletes are idiots, [expletive] or worse. I'll settle for my favorite players not falling into the "worse" category. If respecting them personally was a requisite for rooting for them, I'd have a problem being a sports fan. Negligent parenting of children is pretty damn close to worse.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I don't need to like or respect athletes to root for them. But I previously loved and respected Cutler.

    I am all for the donnnnnnnnnnnntttttttttttttttt care persona, but not in this situation.
