Maybe drafting injured guys with your first round pick is NOT the new market inefficency.
-
I lost in 2008, the NLDS, NLCS and WS drawings last year. I'm due but I am not holding my breath.
-
I think it's butters. We can wait for him. Oh great, there goes my chance to start again this season. -
I found this part of Dave Cameron's FG chat today funny: Then...
-
horsefeathers Contreras might be losing a lot of his potential playoff playing time. I think Joe really wants the veteran in there behind the plate if he can find some signs of life with Miggy.
-
I can't even remember the last time we failed to lower our magic number
-
I'm not sure if you noticed, but the Cubs teams from 2010-2014 were quite bad. They play a disproportionate number of games at 4 ballparks (besides Wrigley) but let's freak out about the ballpark that they've lost at the 2nd most out of those 4 parks.

"Niewenfuk has 4 hits" Things that don't shock you when you hear them during a Cubs-Brewers game. Does he like hate the color blue or something?
-
And that's why Coghlan doesn't play 3b
-
no, that's cardinal red-ass [expletive]. Agreed it's lame but I don't believe in beaning people for that horsefeathers
-
I'm not just saying this because if results but Rondon doesn't look very sharp. Guess that should be expected with all the time off though
-
Stealing with a 7 run lead late?
-
are you for serious? For one, Zach Miller had a couple good games. He's a middling TE. Kevin White has to be fantastic to make this an above average offense. There is no running game, the line remains a huge question. The offensive coordinator is a pud. The head coach is the most conservative coach in the league. I mean, they've had offenses with Forte, Jeffery, Bennett and Marshall struggle to achieve mediocrity. Miller had 4 good games. He can be a pretty good receiving TE. That being said, there's almost 0 chance he stays healthy. Last year, he played 15 games after playing 0 in the previous 3 years. He missed most of camp. He's not playing anywhere near 16 games. White probably won't be fantastic, but hopefully he takes some steps in that direction. The run game should be interesting. I think the Bears will definitely give the run game a college try. I think they'll make sure it doesn't work on a game-by-game basis before they abandon it each week. And I think they'll run all 3 backs and in a variety of ways to try to make it work. But yeah, I'm hoping for average. Average offense and slightly above average defense would make this an 8-8 team. Wouldn't an average offense + slightly above average defense + bottom 5 schedule give you better than 8-8 assuming average luck?

Amazing that it wasn't even the worst call of the night. horsefeathers the nuances of pitch framing and all that horsefeathers. Robot horsefeathering umps
-
Wtf is this ump doing?
-
Hammel ERA last 4 starts: 9.35. And he has 5 more unearned runs as well
-
Seriously am I so spoiled by good pitching that I gave to hate Hammel so much when his surface numbers show a #3 starter for most teams?
-
That was the worst strike call all season
-
This guy has been one of the worst starters in the league this year. Let's get some more hits
-
I have it on good authority that this is exactly the case
-
hammel can see innings...just not as a starter He gave up a homer on the first pitch. I have no faith in him as a reliever either. Do you think a starters potential ability as a reliever is related to how they do in the first inning of starts?
-
Peralta is so bad I think we can win if it's 5-1. If it's like 8-1 maybe not
-
Please keep Hammel in to see this through. I am willing to burn the chance of winning just to see how bad it gets
