    Who happens to be a Philadelphia sports fan.

    I think CTL exists in a new form that doesn't acknowledge the Tribune. He's all over CSN. I know he does the post-game show still, yet somehow Hollandsworth was actually even worse. And I blame Kaplan for essentially creating the Hollandsworth monster.

    Kaplan has the exact same over the top hate of Ramirez. Don't ever forget that. Oh, I haven't. Don't worry. The only difference is that Kaplan would sometimes give ARam credit for the good things he did, whereas Rozner never liked him and took any and every opportunity to take shots at the only good 3B we've had since the late 60's. Kaplan indulged the meatball hate of the jogging and bat-flipping. Rozner incited it. Make no mistake: this is a choice between bad and marginally less bad. But there is a clear gap in bad between the two, and if I could pick only one to launch via rocket into the sun, it would be Rozner. One on one I'd hand it to Rozner as well, but I can't get past the fact that I cannot avoid David Kaplan while attempting to follow the Cubs. Ever since the Daily Herald went full-on behind paywall, I have not noticed Rozner at all.

    Kaplan would be the Richie Incognito of his workplace if he wasn't such a pud and occasionally surrounded by men twice his size.

    I hate Rozner way worse than I hate Kaplan. WAY worse. This. Kaplan is an idiot. but he's a weirdly frustrating idiot in that he every shows flashes like he could get it, but ultimately he doesn't or seems to just choose not to, plus, cheesy at is, he seems to actually get excited and is positive about things sometimes. Rozner is just flat out dumb and his every opinion is ugly and negative and playing to the worst case scenario just to get people riled up. Everything is a disaster to him, and his irrational hatred for all things Aramis Ramirez is enough to condemn alone. Kaplan is a jock sniffer. Rozner is a curmudgeon. But Kaplan is ubiquitous when following the Cubs while Rozner must be actively sought out. Kaplan is worse.

    HAHAHA awesome. The powers that be must have been facing Rodgers in fantasy.

    Coming off the lockout, shortened season, extremely mediocre, they weren't really in any race due to dropping 20 games in June. They had one long streak very late to erase the sub .500 season. 90-97 was pretty much the trough of my Cubs fandom prior to this current dismal run. They were boring and not good at all. I didn't even really watch a baseball game (or at least care about one) until 95, so the strike meant nothing to me. They still weren't eliminated until the second to last day of the season, and that winning streak in late September was fun as hell. They also made that trade for Todd Zeile, which, at the time, I thought was awesome. Well you were 12 so you can be excused for poor taste. I was actually living down the street from the park that summer, and while that was awesome, I have no fond memories of that team. (with the exception of taking my now wife to a game for the first time).

    I hate Rozner way worse than I hate Kaplan. WAY worse. Even Wittenmyer thought Rozner's take on the situation (that this is all a big embarrassing mess and makes the FO look bad because Renteria has been the guy all along) was irrational. He thinks Renteria was the buy all along but that it's a mess? I don't get it. If their top choice is still there where's the mess?

    Apologize and take him to dinner? Maybe some jewelry? Oh wait, no, give him a lot of money. That's it, that's always it.

    I read it more of an FYI type thing, not something that should sway your opinion.

    How does somebody get into baseball late? If I wasn't obsessed with baseball as a kid in the 80s I probably never would have paid attention in my teens. I didn't care at all about sports until the rumors of Jordan coming back in spring of 95 got me amped up to watch the Bulls. The game he came back against the Pacers was the first sporting event I really watched and was interested in watching (I remember other games being on in the house but I didn't care all that much). That was when I was 12. Then the Bulls' season ended and the Cubs were having an OK year and the 95 season sucked me into baseball. Football was next that fall, with Kramer having that huge year throwing to Conway and Graham. I don't know which is more weird, getting into baseball late or being drawn into the Cubs during the mid-90s.

    I think I've looked at it the opposite honestly. Other than the idea that Girardi coming could have possibly sped the timetable up a bit, I've had no interest at all. Couldn't even muster getting too pissed with the Red Sox crap. Theo and Co are smart, I don't see any manager as a guy thats worth 5 wins or anything like that(unless you're maybe going Maddon to Dusty or something). Whoever they bring in, I'll be fine with. And its kept me from getting invested in the search. well, I was more saying that the process was interesting and reading how the manager position has/is changing. The actual names are pretty meaningless. What do you find so interesting? This same thing has happened many times before. This is boring as hell and largely meaningless.

    fat old Richard Gere is not amused.

    Prior to Monday's game somebody on ESPN was talking about how important it was for Brandon Marshall to help his young quarterback in his first start.

    I'm sure its already started, but I havent listened to much sports talk today other than 15 minutes of the Jay show. Jim Miller was dying to say something about it last night on the postgame.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I assume that already started.

    Slauson's grade was schockingly high, only because I decided to focus on a couple of the lineman on a new plays and came away unimpressed with him on the few I paid attention to.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    that's alright, that's okay, you can work for us some day.

    sure looks like it It's the exact same motif on the blue parts of the uniform. If you only stare at the red parts, sure. The blue is much less noticeable. Plus, it just looks like blue blood splatter. It really doesn't matter what the blue is, that doesn't change the fact that the red looks like blood splatter. Not to mention, the whole thing just looks god awful and stupid.

    He should have waited for Incongito to threaten him in person then "stood his ground".
