  1. Has anyone ever been bored and looked at who is playing independent baseball from baseball-reference? Its like rosters full of prospect flameouts and older guys that are never going to play in the bigs again. Players that played this year in the Atlantic League include: Daryle Ward Brendan Harris Luis Montanez Lew Ford Sean Burroughs Eric Patterson JR Towles Delwyn Young Jose Morales Casper Wells Ty Wright Ryan Langerhans Chad Tracy Fred Lewis Brett Carroll Nate Spears Ben Francisco Gary Majewski Tomo Ohka(!!) Jeremy Accardo Cory Wade Jaye Chapman Mark Hendrickson Scott Maine Juan Rincon
  2. Out of curiosity how is Z allowed in the Cubs dugout but Sammy Sosa is still barred from coming within 500 yards of Wrigley Field? Also fun to note that Castro and Castillo are the only 2 Cubs on the roster to have played with Zambrano, whose last year with the Cubs was 2011.
  3. But but it is technically still summer
  4. Just trust me, it's not that great Oh come on like you don't enjoy starting out great every year and never making the playoffs Btw the Seahawks are really really good
  5. Peppers looks nice and spry. [expletive]
  6. [expletive]. I'm considering picking up Gordon in my very deep fantasy league just in case.
  7. Yeah the overall perception of the Bears locally and nationally dipped significantly after that Seattle preseason game. Before that game they were a trendy pick to win the north and compete for the title, now I see most predictions have the Bears as WC2 or out of the playoffs.
  8. And yet you won the division in all of those previous years, so what does it matter?
  9. Ugh, I went to the first game in that series. I actually left happy that game because I realized that even those the Cubs were losing the whole game, I felt good about our odds of coming back and winning. Then the Cubs came into the 9th down, I want to say 7-4, and loaded the bases with 0 outs. They promptly scored 0 runs and lost but whatever.
  10. Cubs (35-33) have a better home record than teams like the Dodgers, Mariners and Rays and have a similar record to the Yankees (35-33 vs 34-32)
  11. Yes, I don't want to have to revive my infamous Injury Update Thread next year
  12. Why are we talking about this game when the Sky just clinched a trip to the WNBA Finals!!!!
  13. Solers BA is under .500, time to panic
  14. Atta boy Javy! It's amazing the percentage of his hits that are extra bases
  15. Guess all that excess testosterone was put to good use
  16. So he'll be back for the Division Series?
  17. Bill Barnwell's preview has the Bears as one of 8 teams expected to decline this year (the 4 categories of 8 are, Teams expected to compete for worst record, Teams expected to decline, Teams expected to improve, Teams expected to contend) http://grantland.com/the-triangle/nfl-season-predictions-part-2-the-falling-stars/ It does touch upon what could kill the Bears this year, the fact that outside Cutler they were the healthiest unit in football, as no other starter missed a game on offense. The fact that we downgraded the depth at the 3 biggest skill positions, QB, RB, WR is worrisome. If it all works out, we will be great. If Forte goes down for an extended period we will be in trouble.
  18. I heard on the score he is shut down for at least another 10 days.
  19. Need to go 10-13 the rest of the way to finish with under 90 losses. Seems very doable, especially if Rizzo and Castro can make it back in the lineup. I love it.
  20. thanks for the continuous updates on this. appreciate all your work. Can't wait until I can post better numbers to the delight of the board instead of the scorn hah
  21. Maybe we werent supposed to see the full Cubs lineup of awesomeness this year. Maybe it wasnt meant to be
  22. Wtf. Desmond Howard has Michigan 6th in his week 2 power rankings. http://espn.go.com/college-football/powerrankings/_/show/first
