  1. Is Hickey catching any heat in the Chicago media?
  2. Indians acquire Leonys Martin
  3. The other factor here is that nobody knows how the ramped up enforcement of these “leading with the head” penalties is going to play out. Are players going to be ejected left and right? Will judgment calls by the refs cost teams games?
  4. If Smith is suspended for a game(s), he will lose his game check. That's SOP for the NFL. The Bears are trying to fudge around Smith's slotted guaranteed money by inserting language that would allow them to take back some of that rookie money if he were to be suspended. It's BS because that same language would not have been in there if they had drafted, say, a QB or WR instead of a LB.
  5. Smith's agent is trying to get a clause out of the contract. Basically it's about the new hitting/leading with helmet rule. Supposedly, if a player gets suspended with this new rule (I'm going to assume that you got to do it multiple times to get a lengthy suspension), the team can void your contract. Smith is trying to get his deal to be guaranteed/protected from that. I know Gurley and like 2 others have what Smith want so it's not like he's setting a new precedent for future players. I saw an article on this a couple days ago because I was wondering what was taking so long. Edit: Bears can void some of the guaranteed money if you get suspended with the new lowering helmet rule, not their contract like I stated above. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000942843/article/roquan-smith-deal-holdup-related-to-new-helmet-rule It's a terrible look for the Bears, and the organization is looking like a-holes about it.
  6. Is that a typo? Nope https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brebbjo01.shtml
  7. Thank Len for the Cardinal defense
  8. The important thing is that Maddon got the guy he wanted, not the guy who is good
  9. He's leaving pitches up early....
  10. I thought it depended on the circumstances of the retirement
  11. I for one am shocked Derwood didn’t read the last couple of posts before posting something I’m shocked that you do t understand that posts can be made while you are typing
  12. In before Duke tells us everything is fine
  13. His one year in the minors was pretty damn good
  14. So Joe will pull Hendricks after giving up 2 runs in 5 innings, but leaves Montgomery out there to throw batting practice? Christ
  15. Looks that way:
  16. So you want to pay millions towards the LT with absolutely nothing to show for it?
  17. Why was this game on commercial break for 7 minutes? (MLB.TV)
  18. I’m guessing it is something from Twitter’s end, unless there was a board software update that screwed things up
  19. Bote's homer was on an 0-2 pitch. Beautiful
