    Maybe premature after 2 weeks but horsefeathers it. I was completely wrong, I thought this was a team on the upswing, I liked their moves and defended Pace. This team is probably better than this but not by a ton. The worst thing is that they looked horribly coached which is supposed to be a strength. Oh well maybe we will become the NFC version of the Browns and everyone will take pity on us

  3. UMFan83

  5. UMFan83
    Deliberate interception avoidance Didn't work
  6. UMFan83
    Well it would still be a 1 possession game if our kicker could hit a chip shot FG
  7. UMFan83
    The Eagles have done jack horsefeathers tonight but the Bears can't capitalize. Really annoying
  8. UMFan83

  9. UMFan83

  10. UMFan83
    Come on Bryant you were supposed to dong there.
  11. UMFan83
    Good job Fox
  12. UMFan83
    I'm glad we can stop the run and all but we can't horsefeathering get any pressure at all
  13. UMFan83
    Well at least you weren't celebrating a sack during a blowout loss this time Lamar
  14. UMFan83
    Ugh 3 and out when we start the drive in Eagles territory
  15. UMFan83
    I'd like to see the offensive line keep Cutler in the pocket for like 3 plays in a row
  16. UMFan83
    Hungover still?
  17. UMFan83
    Wow Jay just threw it up there as hard as he could as he was falling over. That's insane
  18. UMFan83
    Go Bears?
  19. UMFan83
    Jay is going into "I am assuming I will be scrambling on every play" mode. And not the one where he just falls over when he senses pressure, the one where he gets crafty and makes horsefeathers happen
  20. UMFan83
    Which Chicago offense will do worse today? Neck and neck so far
  21. UMFan83
    PFF graded Rodgers game as the lowest rated game of his career last night. Would be so awesome to see him randomly fall off a cliff performance wise at age 32.

    Greetings from beautiful Oakbrook Terrace, IL! Welcome to Garbage Time Theater! http://i.imgur.com/7gpWHHc.jpg The Cubs celebrated a division title on Friday and were obviously hung over the entire weekend. But that's cool, I'm sure those Brewer players are thrilled to have a story to tell their grandchildren about the time they smashed the mighty Cubs mercilessly. Kids love fairy tales. As the Cubs have done all year when in need of a victory, they turn to their stopper. http://i.imgur.com/Nn7vV5X.jpg Hammel has a 6.75 ERA in his last 3 starts, but his last one was sort of decent 4th starterish with 5.2 IP of 3 run ball. He will get 3 more starts in before he gets to enjoy the month of October from the dugout bench. That's ok, he totally didn't want to pitch in the postseason anyways. CUBS are 94-55 (.631) overall CUBS are 14-4 (.778) on Mondays CUBS are 9-8 (.529) in September CUBS are 10-3 (.769) vs. Cincinnati CUBS are 41-22 (.651) vs. NL Central CUBS are 7-4 (.636) when they've lost their last 2 games CUBS are 36-12 (.750) in games that begin a series CUBS are 51-29 (.638) at night CUBS are 52-23 (.693) on the road CUBS are 66-38 (.635) vs right handers CUBS are 16-12 (.571) when Hammel starts Go CUBS !!

    I can't remember, did App State get ranked after they beat Michigan or did they just get a lot of votes but not quite top 25? I tend to block a lot of that early season out of my head

    The thing that worries me about Zobrist is his age. Am I suggesting that he all the sudden on May 31st realized he was 35 and hit accordingly? No but I do worry that he might grind down over a season and doesn't have another gear as we get to this part of year. Last year he hit well in the playoffs but missed a big chunk of the season with injuries. Joe has done a great job of getting him ample rest as the season has gone on but it hasn't seemed to get him going strong. And yes I'd much rather them be slumping now then in 2 weeks. They are for the most part young and very good so a slump shouldn't last an obnoxiously long period. If anything we should be happy they are slumping now as that would likely mean they will be getting hot at the right time. I probably have irrational PTSD from 2008, when similar to how this year is playing out they had a September OPS that was ~.050 lower than any other month that year, had the same thoughts about slumping at the right time to get hot for playoffs and...well it didn't really work out. Just have to keep reminding myself that this team is different and has repeatedly proven why it is different over the last 2 seasons.

    In the first half you had Fowler and Zobrist hitting for power. I think I saw on Twitter Zobrist has a .368 slugging since May and I don't have the numbers on Fowler but considering his OPS dropped from close to .900 when he came back from injury to around .800 now and his OBP is still in the 380s I'd guess his slugging has gone way down too. All it takes though is one guy getting hot along with normal Rizzo and Bryant and we're looking good. Last year Bryant and Rizzo were both somewhat cold in the playoffs (right?) and they were picked up by Schwarber, Soler and somewhat Fowler through the NLDS
