    I had to go back to 2006 to find the last time Adam Dunn had 7 K's in 2 combined games. And Geo's not generally a high strikeout guy.
  2. UMFan83
    Geo needs an offday tomorrow big time.

    That's quite a stretch. Could be a couple pitchers who have the stuff to exploit him and have made their pitches over two days. Maybe he's not picking the ball up well with the new field's batter's eye. Maybe he's doing it to throw us off the trail that he's really a cyborg, it could be a lot of different things. Wait wait wait. Did I miss the memo where THINKING was a sign on MENTAL weakness? Overthinking could be.

No I agree to an extent. He just looks like he's trying too hard to outthink the pitcher. On that last AB, he had a 3-1 count and took 2 breaking pitches over the plate. Looks like a guy who is trying to guess. Also, I should mention how Lou mentioned earlier that his somewhat slow start at the plate was effecting his defense during the first week of the season, or something like that.

    Geez, you'd think this game thread was from September 2006.

    Didn't look all that great in that AB

    0-6 6Ks for Soto this series. He's completely overthinking each pitch and pressing too much in his ABs. It's a sign of being mentally weak. I hope I'm wrong.

    They said the same thing about David Terrell too. Except Terrell was picked in the top 10, Manningham would be in the third round. Right, but I had to get a jab at Michigan WR's in there somewhere. Packers on the clock. Come on Martellus Bennett. If you're going to rip on Michigan WRs, at least find a recent one...like Braylon Edwards. Wow Brohm.

    Blah. That looked crushed.

    Anyone think Mario Manningham might be a nice 2nd day pick for the Bears? I realize his combine wasn't great, and the marijuana thing didn't help him, but he might be the most explosive 2nd day receiver.
  14. UMFan83
    Soto is really pressing.

    18 SB, 10 CS for the Cubs this year. Pathetic Lou...very pathetic.
  16. UMFan83
    What are the Cubs going to do with Fukudome when Sosa comes back?
  17. UMFan83
    Not like that patetic offense that is in the top 3 in baseball in runs scored and OBP to this point?
  18. UMFan83
    Could any of the QBs left be franchise QBs? It's possible yes. I wasn't big on the Bears getting a QB in the draft to be honest, but I'm not sure why they picked a RB here.

    Cedric Benson Adrian Peterson Garrett Wolfe Matt Forte Who is gone?
  20. UMFan83
    ....59...

    I knew the Bears were ok with Grossman and Orton. Personally it doesn't make sense to me. Grossman could be alright with a good O-Line, but I don't think he's ever going to be a franchise QB. I could see the Bears giving Grossman one more year to prove himself, but at the same time if he fails, what do they do then? You can draft a QB next year, but hes 1 year behind in development. If you took Henne or Brohm now, they have a year holding the clipboard this year. So what was the thought process? Do the Bears think Grossman will be a Pro Bowler in the future, or is there another QB they are looking at in the later rounds. Also, I have no idea who that guy we just drafted is, but I don't like it.
  22. UMFan83
    Who?
  23. UMFan83
    What else is there to get? A Guard....a Safety? I feel like too many WRs and RBs were taken already.
  24. UMFan83
    If Theriot is going to steal bases at a 50% rate, please let him hit 8th. K THX
  25. UMFan83
    That game single handedly ruined my Friday night. Maybe we aren't as good as I thought we were...
