    The MacPhail Run=good for the Tribune because they are making tons of cash. So when you judge MacPhail, by whose standards are you judging? Why would they ever fire him?
  2. Wilson A2000
    True, but if the Tribune wants to sell the Cubs it would be an easier sell with a clean managerial slate. You could buy Hendry out. He isn't expensive (if the new owner doesn't like him). But managerial decisions usually come pretty quickly after the WS so the Cubs would have to sell quick if they want to go this route. But doesn't the process of selling a team take months?

    On a separate note, Bonds supposeldy lied on the stand. He said that he didn't know he was taking steroids. Well then why isn't he suing the guy who gave him them? If Bonds is consistent, he shoudl do this. But he knows he can't. That would blow up in his face and would further prove his guilt.

    ESPN, in their article on the 0% chance Girardi will be back, mentioned However, the source said the front office is pointing to specific in-game decisions that ultimately may lead to Girardi's demise. Fighting for a wild-card spot, the source described Marlins management as "shocked" that Girardi brought back rookie-sensation Josh Johnson after an 82-minute rain delay on Sept. 12 against the New York Mets. The righthander left the game four innings later with cramping in his forearm and was later shelved for the season with a strained ligament. Girardi also was criticized for inserting reserve outfielder Reggie Abercrombie as a defensive replacement in Sunday's 8-7 loss against Atlanta. Florida's 10th-inning collapse was aided by two Abercrombie errors that opened the door for a five-run inning.

    Would they attempt to sell the Cubs before next season? If they fire Dusty, wouldnt't they want to sell the Cubs before they clean house so the new owner can have control?

    I guess there was some serious anti-Muslim sentiment going on. Is that board moderated at all?
  7. Wilson A2000
    I saw something on the news that the messago board was getting out of hand? You guys know what happened?

    Williams went on Afterward, Williams said he didn't regret making the guarantee. "No, because everyone believes what I said," he told Albom. Williams caught six passes for 71 yards in the loss -- and he issued another guarantee afterward. "You can all run with this: We will win the [next] game," he told reporters. "I don't care who it's against. We will win the game as long as we do what we're supposed to do. That's my comment for the whole week."

    I think you proved how much that means at this point when I see him edging out Batch, Carr, Rivers and Pennington. At most one of those guys will be in the top 5 at the end of the year. Go Vikes! The Bears have looked damn good in the first two games, but this should be their first actual test. The Bears arent going to test the Vikings. When you have a team like the Bears who are clearly better than the Vikings, you dont call that a test. You call that a mismatch.
  10. Wilson A2000
    Methinks the Vikings might be a sleeper team this year. After watching enough of that game, I can tell you that the Panthers had that game locked up before Chris Gamble decided to throw the game away. Believe me, if there ever was a loss that could be pinned on a single player, this would be a really good example of it. Chris Collinsworth was blaming John Fox, saying he called for that pass, but I don't know if that was just assumption on Collinsworth's part. Fox said after the game that all the plays go through him and that he specifically OK'd it. Really dumb play by the part of a coach who generally knows what he is doing.

    18 Kyle Orton 12 Justin Gage 17 Airese Currie 71 Israel Idonije 82 Gabe Reid Were these guys inactive because they were hurt or because there was no more room on the roster?
  12. Wilson A2000
    Good game for the Bears. The running attack bothers me a little, btu I have faith. What was wrong with the field? The grass looked terrible!
  13. Wilson A2000
    I didn't see the play on replay, but was his arm really hit as he threw?
  14. Wilson A2000
    "Yeah, give them credit," Favre said. "(But) maybe we just ain't very good." True dat
  15. Wilson A2000
    What was that sound for? It sounded like a remote controlled car revving. It must have gone off 50 times. I hated it.
  16. Wilson A2000
    Not sure if this has been posted, but rumor has it that Bowa is in the managerial hunt now. Please Jim no!
  17. Wilson A2000
    Why can't Mohammad be good? Most people think he is a good number two receiver or average number one, but in 2004 he arguably the best receiver in the league. Now he is just a number two? Does the Bears offense not give him opportunities? Is the QB the problem? Has his talent gone downhill?
  18. Wilson A2000
    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2562310 Girardi>Dusty but would he make a good fit as a Cub manager next year?
  19. Wilson A2000
    New Benson quotes from the Trib "But darn (edited). I'm afraid to let my guard down because the moment I do is the moment somebody will . . . you know what I mean?" So you violate team rules, someone squeals, and you are mad at that?
  20. Wilson A2000
    Cedeno this year AVG .248 | HR 5 | RBI 31 | OBP .273 | SLG .335

    Did you guys want Cadillac all along or was there someone else? A TE? Oh the Bears could have had the guy the Sttlers got. I wanted him from the beginning.
  22. Wilson A2000
    I wanted he WR that Detroit got, but I heard he stinks too. Was Cadillac available for the Bears?
  23. Wilson A2000
    What is Benson doing? I have a feeling that Lovie wants Jones to play but is under pressure form Angelo to play Benson. Now he just leaves and watches the game inside? Weird.
  24. Wilson A2000
    Well if he can play solid D, get a few timely hits, and keep himself from doing anything terribly dumb it isn't a bad deal. I am sure they will dump him next season. He isn't a bad bench player if that's all he is for them next year.
  25. Wilson A2000
    Jones had the only 1300 yard season by a Bear RB outside of Payton with a terrible QB who they stacked 8 at the line every play. The Bear D doesn't want to lose games just because Angelo wants his guy in there. With that said, when Benson played last year he did well. Jones might not be proven, but he is more proven that Benson as far as the NFL goes.
