    Matt Abatacola is on the SCORE right now saying that a mediocre team can't get hot and do some damage and even win the Super Bowl because the team with the most talent wins. The Bears aren't this team, but he has a short memory (the Giants sure did it last year). But Orton is no Ely Manning.

    Who has to lose for the Bears to get the wildcard? If the Bears win out and they are tied with another wildcard team, who makes the playoffs?

    I didn't know much about Versteeg coming in to this year, but he has surprised me. Was he a heralded draft pick?
  4. Wilson A2000
    Sweet!

    Any updates on Chris Williams? LT has not big as a weakness as I thought (except for the last Vikings game). If the Bears lose Monday, we better see him in week 16.

    The Zamboni is OK! The brakes just froze. http://www.chicagotribune.com/video/?slug=chi-zamboni-081219-video

    Kenney said that they are probably going to have to replace all the grass after the hockey game. This is a terribly time of year to be resodding.

    They're all on TV this year. I meant on basic cable
  9. Wilson A2000
    Are all of the games going to be on TV next year?
  10. Wilson A2000
    Sure, but does it really matter what the reason is that your closer is on the bench? Either way, he didn't hold up.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=3821 "Not only did he hold up for the season, but he was able to pitch three days in a row multiple times," Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said. "He was dominant as he as ever been in his career." After pitching in 22 games as a setup man in 2007, Wood went to spring training and won the closer's job -- vacated when the Cubs made Ryan Dempster a starter -- over Carlos Marmol and Bob Howry. He went 5-4 with a 3.26 ERA and made the All-Star team. But he fell out of Chicago's plans this winter, when the Cubs acquired reliever Kevin Gregg from Florida as a setup man and moved Marmol to closer. Wood has no resentment toward the team that gave him his pro start by drafting the 6-foot-5 Texan in 1995. "I understand it," Wood said. "That's part of the game and it's time to move on." Moving into the closer's role seemed to suit the hard-throwing Wood, who can still pump his fastball into the mid-90s. He now has a nasty curve to go with it. He said the adjustment to closing took him only three weeks, a transition made easier because of his background as a power pitcher. 1. Wood missed about three weeks of the season, so he didn't exactly hold up. 2. Wood has always had a nasty hook.

    How much $ did he get? 1-2 million a season?
  13. Wilson A2000
    It's a pretty darn good job is you ask me. How much do they make?
  14. Wilson A2000
    Is Tebow really not going to vote for himself?
  15. Wilson A2000
    How does a player even get on the HOF ballot in the first place?
  16. Wilson A2000
    I've heard different things. On WGN news, the reporter said that the Cubs are a separate entity and not not filed under the Tribune Company's holding so today's news won't affect them. Hub Arkush, the bankruptcy authority that he is, says that any selling of the Cubs has to now go through the judge or bankruptcy arbiter. Who knows.
  17. Wilson A2000
    The HOF is an elite group. Isn't that what it is supposed to be - the elite of the elite?
  18. Wilson A2000
    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-081208-tribune-bankruptcy-story,0,4656896.story Short and sweet. Could have saved a bunch by not signing Marquis.

    I know we have gone over this again and again, but why can't Ron get in? Does he not have the stats? Did he rub people the wrong way? Was he a showoff with his heel clicking? Are too many Cub players from a losing team already in?
  20. Wilson A2000
    Haven't the Cubs already been sold to Zell?
  21. Wilson A2000
    Skiles would have been a much better coach to develop Rose. Vinny is only coaching one year, but still, it is hard to coach this team when you have absolutely nothing in the front court and you paid a guy $70 million who will never make an All-Star team.
  22. Wilson A2000
    I thought many of us agreed that Huet was a great signing? The bugger mistake was nearly letting Khabi go.
  23. Wilson A2000
    That is going to be very tough to work in.
  24. Wilson A2000
    Didn't hear it. But -- 670 has many people on who are quite capable of an out-of-whack tantrum. Dan Berstein ripped Lawrence a new one in response.

    Graham is better right now and Lovie wasn't about to bench Vasher.
