    Pat Foley is back too! Hockey on WGN radio and TV.

    I don't know how good Tebow's arm is, but he needs to turn into a pocket passer or harness his running. Pure runners, like Vick, don't make it in the NFL. If he had the old McNabb's escapeability, I would be happy with him.

    Williams didn't miss one practice or game while in college. The back issue was very minor. Regardless, this is a different back issue.
  4. Wilson A2000
    Hanie looked impressive. Did he throw a bad pass? Two bad drops. A nice little run. Good poise. The line wasn't bad actually, but Dorsey might have had something to do with that. Pro Football Weekly says, "Williams' latest back injury reportedly is similar to the one suffered by CB Charles Tillman in 2006. Tillman was able to return to action later that year, and the Bears also expect Williams to be able to make it back. As a result, according to our sources, the Bears are planning to keep Williams on the final 53-man roster." How long was Tilman out for?
  5. Wilson A2000
    The Bears weren't going anywhere anyway. This will only improve their draft status for next year.
  6. Wilson A2000
    Haas makes all the plays, but couldn't even get any PT last year when the Bears weren't going anywhere. Same with Beekman. Ridiculous.
  7. Wilson A2000
    It's supposedly unrelated to the back spasms Williams had earlier. Time to move Tait back over. Bears look to be getting close to reacquiring Miller at RT. Some sources say Williams is out for the year. I say put Williams out there because the lien is going to be lying on their backs after a second anyway. At least we will be using out well-paid LT to lie on the ground and get trampled on.

    Yep, it's the Hall of FAME. Ozzie Smith wasn't very good, but he was famous :) What?
  9. Wilson A2000
    If he could keep us his steals, he might have the stats as a leadoff man. But the reason he is a leadoff man is that he is not patient enough to be a 3-5 hitter like he should be. I don't think that should work in his favor so as to get in the HOF as a leadoff man.

    Chris Young double. Nice game though. This is where it can fall apart. Up 2-0, things can come unhinged.
  11. Wilson A2000
    Karstens through 7 2/3. Perfect game so far.
  12. Wilson A2000
    What are his stats prorated this year? He would have to be close to being an MVP candidate right?
  13. Wilson A2000
    Anyone have video of that groundskeeper falling down and getting trapped in the tarp? That was hilarious!

    Saying one guy has been better than the other in no way say that the competition is over for the rest of camp. I am just talking about the first pre-season game. If you look at the depth chart released, they have Davis/Hester for the number one receiver position and Lloyd/Booker for the other. There is no reason why Davis should be the number one receiver. Do other football teams do this?
  15. Wilson A2000
    Even reporters like David Haugh, and announcers like Tom Thayer have admitted that neither has been better than the other. Both have been pretty boringly "ok". They've had a few mistakes, they've had a few nice moments, but generally, they've both been meh. Neither is ahead of the other, though Haugh said if pinned down, he's say Orton's been better, but not in any significant fashion. Then Orton is better. I've heard Rex is a great practice QB, but an average to below average game QB. If he can't blow Orton out of the water in practice, he is the #2 QB. Also, stop saying that Rex is a game manager and Rex is not. Both have around the same TDs to INTs. A game manager doesn't throw 50/50. Now maybe Orton is better at managing the game now, but we don't really know that from experience. And stop saying that Orton is 12-3 or whatever as a starter. He was the worst starting QB in 2005. He was 12-3 in spite of his play. I remember that Sunday night game when Orton was QB and Rex came in. The offense starting clicking right away. The field was opened up.

    Now reports are coming out that a report surfaced a few hours before the draft saying that Williams had back problems. The Bears are so childish. This is professional football. People will get their feelings hurt. Name a QB and say that he was better than the other so far. What is so hard about that?
  17. Wilson A2000
    I would just like him to have a pitch that moves in to lefties like a slider or curve. Zambrano's pitches move right (fastball) and left (slider). It couldn't hurt at least.

    It's called Reds baseball

    Which he actually did a good job of last night, which made it odd that you ignored that when you posted his AAA numbers. I did so because the argument was that Wuertz replacing Howry is a move that should've been made long ago. He had the second-best ERA on the team when he was demoted. and since ERA is the best way to evaluate relief pitchers with a small amount of innings pitched.... I never said it was the best way. Did you happen to check his % of inherited runners that scored?
  20. Wilson A2000
    I think he needs to have one more pitch to be in that category. At least he has to use one more pitch.
  21. Wilson A2000
    Link. With wavers, does each team starting with the worst get a chance at trading for him or just acquiring him? If say the Brewers want him, if the Cubs reject their offer, Eyre can't go to the next team can he because it is one-shot opportunity?
  22. Wilson A2000
    I was hoping he would be the left-hander out of the pen that the Cubs needed. In the second half last year, Eyre has 30 appearances and have up two runs in one appearance. That was it.

    Now that Brett and the Packers have almost officially cut ties, he seems extremely unhappy with them. The Bears are the Packers' biggest rivals and members of the best rivalry in the NFL. If he goes to Minnesota, he has the best chance of winning a Super Bowl. Now a few weeks ago I thought this was impossible, but the chances have to be growing that he comes to the Bears. Would Jerry want to set the Bears back (from the perspective of Grossman and Orton) a few more years by getting Brett? What would they have to give up? A first rounder? Mark Anderson? The Bears' fourth linebacker? Second, the issue of cap room needs to be considered. The Bears have 9 million left. Brett gets 12 million this year. You can either cut 3 million worth of salary or give Brett a 3 million dollar signing bonus and be maxed out in cap. Angelo said that he promised Kyle and Rex an open competition, but he didn't say that he wouldn't add another to the competition. Steve Smith might be available too.

    The 9th inning is the hardest inning to complete, maybe the first is a close second. When did pinch-hitter become popular? Closers typically face the hardest matchups too.
