    1.545 that seems low

    I can't stop looking at Soler. He is just a chiseled beast of a man. God created him to mash baseballs very far. And to think, the midseason consensus #1 prospect in baseball is just chilling in Des Moines.

    Off to Gateway Redbirds and Viva El Birdos for the first time in 5 years!

    BTW, what was that stat about Baez being the first Cub since the 50s to hit 3 HR in his first 3 games? Hmm looks like Soler just tied him there.

    Jesus Christ how is that giant allowed to play with the little kids?

    Javy doesn't get hits very often but when he does they HUGE

    Somewhere in Anaheim, Mike Trout just realized he's not the best player in baseball anymore
  9. UMFan83
    Baez-O-meter down to .186

    Man I just can't see the Bears beating the 49ers at all. I just can't. The last time we played them, they completely embarrassed us on national TV. I know they've looked pretty mortal in the preseason, but I just see them Harbaugh completely outcoaching Turner, and having Kaepernick toy with us as he scrambles for first down after first down. I see their defense getting pressure on Cutler enough to make him go into his infamous shell. Of course I'm a negative [expletive] so its no surprise that I can only visualize us losing. I hope I'm wrong!!

    Yeah its interesting and fun to see them not outright dismissive of the Cubs, their plan, and the future.

    11-5 it is. Right? SNF at SF MNF at Jets SNF vs Packers Thursday night game vs Cowboys MNF vs Saints Am I missing one?
  13. UMFan83
    You can all hate on me. I think the Bears struggle in this one but ultimately get the win. Everyone panics when we get blown out by SF, but everything is ok and we end up going 10-6. Bears 27 Bills 23 Cutty 17-30, 255 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT Forte 115 yards, 2 TD

    It's gonna take me a really long time to accept that Rutgers is in the Big 10. It just doesn't seem right at all.
  15. UMFan83
    Santonio Holmes with a nice 32 yard catch and score
  16. UMFan83
    I give today a 5/10 for the big league Cubs Bad: Blowout loss, Arrieta had a very poor start, Baez was 0-4 (but only struck out twice) Good: Soler 2-4 with an RBI and double, Castro 2-4 with run scored, Alcantara with a walk and a SF
  17. UMFan83
    Cubs sensed too much optimism. Had to shut that right down
  18. UMFan83
    Soler is pretty good at this baseball thing.
  19. UMFan83
    where the hell do you come up with these things i heard len talk about our record against the reds the last 2 years and then looked it up. plus my in-laws are all Reds fans so that's what i hear about when I'm in Cincinnati.
  20. UMFan83
    Did you know the Cubs are 1-12-2 in their last 15 series against the Reds dating back to 2011? I want to win this one just because of that.
  21. UMFan83
    What's the read here? Stable as in embarrassing 2014 85M payroll stable, or stable as in we held back money this year embarrassing 100M payroll stable? Good question. If its the former that's obviously very disappointing but at least we can count on spending from Soriano's contract coming off the books?
  22. UMFan83
    When asked about payroll level next year, he said something about "if you look back a couple of years ago with regards to payroll" and then mentioned he expected a big jump when new revenue streams are in place. Someone correct me if I got information wrong, I'm half listening while I'm working.
  23. UMFan83
    I see no way we spend that kind of money Really? Goony brings up a good point on the IFA's, but Kiley has kind of brought it up already, so I think it's a distinct possibility. Or using it as the posting fee for Maeda. But a signing of Lester or Scherzer and one of Markakis or Martin basically spends the vast majority of 40-45 mill as it is. You think our payroll for next year is going to be ~$170 million? (55m commit, 100 mil added, ~15 mil rollover savings from Tanaka)?
  24. UMFan83
    The article was interesting, breaking how how Devin Hester was worth roughly 1 point per game to the Bears, which for a non-QB is pretty significant, especially significant that he was a STer
  25. UMFan83
    Can someone explain?
