    Remember Bill Barnwell? When we last saw him, he was predicting that the Bears would be one of the worst teams in football last year in the preseason. Although he won his Bears UNDER 8.5 wins bet, it was pure luck that took injuries to their top 2 offensive players. This year he is betting Bears UNDER 8.5 wins on Grantland, but at least he's admitted he's the least sure about this pick than any other he's made.

    David Kaplan obviously has influence at MLBN.
  3. UMFan83
    Isn't he pretty much the only real player on that team though? Well yeah he's gonna be the primary shot taker I guess. Although in today's game he was 3rd on the team in FGA and points scored. 4-8 from the FT line too

    Deng has now shot 11-40 in his first 2 Olympic games. Yeah he totally doesn't need that wrist surgery.

    I think he means he didn't throw well at the side session, and Dempster lives in Scottsdale, so its possible he is the pitcher the DBacks are in discussions with the Cubs, as he would probably waive his 10-5 to go there.

    I couldnt remember if Isiah Thomas was the coach of FIU or Central Florida, and was very disappointed to learn he wasn't involved in any of this.

    LOL Typical Aramis fan. A relic from the much hated Game Threads of the past.

    Wow how many top 10 prospects have Theo and co. acquired since taking over? Rizzo, Soler, Almora, vizcaino, who else? He's done a terrific job rebuilding the top end of the farm, even without seeing the first returns on this draft class.

    This is silly, the White Sox spent less than the Cubs and got less out of it. Fine they won the world series but the fact that it took the Sox another 3 years to make the playoffs again with very similar teams (but adding Thome and subtracting Rowand) while their payroll skyrocketed, says to be that the crapshoot worked in favor of them that year. It's a pretty silly argument because both teams track records over the last decade are probably worse than other teams that spent less than them (Twins, Cardinals, etc.).

    Wow, that is so weird that I had to check BR myself....crazy that he got MVP votes in 6 different seasons that he didn't make the ASG. I remember Frank Thomas finishing 2nd without making the All Star team once which was bizarre but 6 different times is just insane. And you can't necessarily blame it on being a slow starter, as he had a career .932 OPS in the first half and an only slightly higher .969 in the 2nd half.

    lmao

    All I could think when Rizzo jumped into the pile at home plate was Kendrys Morales.
  16. UMFan83
    I love how the White Sox were supposed to rebuild this year and they have a little success and all the sudden they are back to making a ton of deadline deals like they do every year. I guess the playoffs are a bit of a crapshoot but they seem to fall in the trap where they are just good enough to compete for a playoff spot every year but not good enough to be a serious contender.
  17. UMFan83
    You're like the opposite of CC who was doubted we'd get Theo when the Cubs and Red Sox were already figuring out compensation.
  18. UMFan83
    I love the Angels. They are definitely my AL team this weekend.
  19. UMFan83
    Ugh I think that's 6 losses in a row to St. Louis. As much as 2006 blew, it was slightly enjoyable watching the Cubs kill them that season.
  20. UMFan83
    Ridiculous how predictable this was please just stop
  21. UMFan83
    Wood's ERA has gone up from 3.05 to 4.33 over his last 2 starts
  22. UMFan83
    Please, just stop
  23. UMFan83
    It bothers me because the Cubs can only do this at home. If this game was at Busch, it'd be 6-0. What is that even supposed to mean? Not that this is a great record but they are 6-7 in their last 13 road games.
  24. UMFan83
    Starcast is starting to heat up Love the Castro-Rizzo 1-2 punch Edit: Yes I callled him Starcast Edit2: I meant the Castro-Rizzo-Soriano 1-2-3!
  25. UMFan83
    Does he think this is the [expletive] NBA with his offsetting salaries and expiring contracts?
