After the season of course.

I've got a better idea for talking. Let's talk about you stopping your insufferable pouting EVERY DAMN TIME you don't get your way. GROW UP and stop ruining the fun. i'll give you ben sheets if you stop posting. Here's a better counteroffer: You start playing by the same rules as the rest of us without whining about it and I'll promise never to mention the name Ben Sheets in this league again.

Bears game 4: Sunday Oct. 3 at NYG on NBC
NCCubFan replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
If so it would almost certainly be at New York that they lose. Virtually no way that they lose to a pathetic Carolina unless it's a letdown after a 4-0 start. -
Yeah, there's really no good reason to force a team to IR a guy for the season. I've felt that way for a long time. If you can be placed on the PUP list and miss the first six games without missing the entire year that should be true for six games during the middle of the season too.
-
Same with me. I'll take a fantasy loss for me in exchange for a real win for the Bears any day.

50 years ago today was Ted Williams' final game, in the Red Sox home finale (he had decided to skip a three-game series in New York so he could wind up his career at home). After previously walking and flying out twice, he finished with style by hitting a home run in his last at-bat. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100926&content_id=15112476&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb

Hopefully next year they'll leave him alone in the rotation instead of messing with him. If he gets off to a slow start, let him work through it. He's shown this year that he can still be a very effective major league starter.

Bo Jackson died? I can just imagine the headline when that does happen: "Bo Knows Death."
-
In my other league I had Driver going tonight and my opponent had Gould. Gould's game-winning field goal caused me to lose by less than 1/2 point. But since I'm a Bears fan I'm not complaining. The challenging part of the fantasy football season begins this coming week with the start of bye weeks.
-
Moments ago: Probably a new low for how short a vote of confidence has lasted. Either that, or else it wasn't Singletary's call.
-
Al actually made his move a day after you made your post. However, he hasn't been logged into NSBB since a few days before your post, so he may not have seen it. If the managers don't reverse the moves voluntarily I believe you could use commish powers to reverse them yourself, if you think that's appropriate.

He played for both the Bear (Bryant, when he was at Kentucky) and the Bears. I think he was probably best known for leading the Raiders to comeback victories a few times as a backup quarterback in the early 70s when his primary duties by that time were as a kicker. He was a great QB earlier in his career before football gained the widespread following it has now, so I don't think he's as well known for that.

Brett Wallace?
NCCubFan replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
At least he wouldn't be behind Adrian Gonzalez or Albert Pujols here (unless we sign Dunn). So you're saying that if we DO sign Dunn he'd be behind Gonzalez or Pujols. -
3-0 start. Not bad considering how badly I whiffed on my #1 draft pick (Shonn Greene). Austin Collie in the 15th round is making up for it.
-
And I hope you're right.

The result turned out to be garbage, but that doesn't change the fact that you were abusing (actually trying to create) a loophole at the time. I'm far from the only person that complained about it at the time; the only reason I keep bringing it up is to point out the need to have gray areas clarified ahead of time so everybody's on a level playing field, not after you've made a move that's technically against the rules. Anyway, one point did just occur to me. The players that both you and Al picked up are still minor league eligible, so the question for clarification is whether the prohibition on adding players was intended for both major and minor league rosters or major only. If Brian just meant that you can't add players to your major league roster then your move is OK; he'll need to provide the clarification on that.
-
Whether it makes sense to you or not it is still the stated rule, and therefore you need to follow it the same as anybody else. It would obviously be unfair for you to benefit because you pick and choose whether to follow the rules based on whether they make sense to you while others willingly follow the rules. This is exactly the same attitude you had with the Ben Sheets issue last year. You violated a stated rule, then argued that it didn't make sense, and when the commish agreed with your position it was too late to be fair to others who had followed the stated rules. Everybody needs to be on a level playing field, and that level field is to play by the stated rules, try to get a rule changed if you don't think it makes sense, then make your move AFTER the rule is changed, not before.
-
Because the commissioner said that it wasn't allowed.
-
Adam (after being eliminated from the playoffs) and Al have both added players since the end of the regular season. I thought that wasn't allowed, which is why I didn't make a move that I otherwise might have. Clarification?

Mariners on the verge of being historically bad
NCCubFan replied to Outshined_One's topic in General Baseball Talk
Even Starlin Castro's error total would have seemed good by standards of that era. -
In other words, unless the Twins mimic the 2004 Cubs. more like the 1964 phillies, 1995 angels or 2007 mets. the 2004 cubs melted down but that was nowhere near the worst choke. Yeah, those are probably better examples. Especially the 1964 Phillies; usually that is used as the basis of comparison for epic collapses.

The 10th Inning airs this coming Tuesday and Wednesday evenings on PBS. It looks like it's actually 4 1/2 hours, not 4 as originally reported.

Combined margin of defeat of 20-1 over the past two days. That's more like the Cubs we've known all year long.
