I tend to agree with you about the Tigers.
-
Would you really be pissed if it was Gallagher, Cedeno and Ceda? I wouldn't... -
100% valid point... it's the Prior/Wood syndrome. Trading Chris Harris and talking about our secondary depth is proof that they were definitely counting on Mike Brown last year. Such a shame...
-
^ Hit better than he did in Winter Ball
-
Yeah but the Bears aren't going to cut or release Urlacher unless he gets a significant injury that jeopardizes his career. So in this place it applies.

So what are you Bears fans thinking? We were told that they weren't focusing on other FAs, and they are going to work on retaining their own FAs, specifically Briggs, Berrian and Ayenbadejo. Now it looks like all 3 are gone, there is unlikely to be replacements from the FA market. How do you guys feel as Bears fans? Angry or are you taking a wait and see approach. I am worried about this team quickly devolving into a 4-12 team personally. We've gotten worse at WR, no better at QB or OL or RB and our offense was terrible last year. Obviously there is still the draft which is huge, and there are internal options, but how much to you expect rookie OLineman or WRs to contribute? I think Angelo's plan has to be rebuilding for 2009, taking a year to get strong again and then win the next year. What do you all think? There doesn't seem to be too much backlash from Bears fans here or on other sites.

This thread sucks. How come that other offtopic discussion got moved to its own thread, while this barely even slightly on topic post goes on and on for over 30 pages.
-
Yay 5:00 I am going to run to my car and listen to the end of the game! Thank God its a road game so there is a bottom of the 9th
-
Hey raisin, how did Dempster give up one run and yet 2 HR's? Was one called back because of holding? The Bears offensive line is not involved in this spring training game thankfully.
-
Yay!
-
I really hope that this game drags on so I can hear at least 5 minutes of it in my car after work
-
He knows the O's scouts are out there watching.
-
Well Theriot is 3-3 and Fontenot hit a 3 run homer...
-
I've decided I like guys who can catch the ball. Oh wait that was last offseason.
-
OMG, its the first inning of Spring Training. I'm not a huge fan of Demp as a starter but give me a break!
-
Gosh I can't believe I'm already following horrible delayed box scores again. It seems like only yesterday I was doing it for last spring training.
-
He's a bum, cut him!
-
What happened?
-
Zell will consider selling naming rights to Wrigley Field
UMFan83 replied to BleedCubbieBlue81's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Has anyone in this thread mentioned that the Wrigley Marquee is a landmark and will not be changed or moved from the field, so most likely it will always say "Wrigley Field". More than likely, any naming rights will involved the Wrigley Field name. -
What the crap does this have to do with Soriano leading off?
-
Dempster hasn't started since '03??
UMFan83 replied to Springfield_CUBBY's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He did, in 2005. I had the unfortunate chance to see him pitch one of those. Actually he didn't do horrible, he only allowed 1 unearned run IIRC. (thanks Burnitz) -
How the hell are we only a half game out of first place (in the Cactus League)?
-
arrest warrant issued for Speizio
UMFan83 replied to Mephistopheles's topic in General Baseball Talk
Couldn't have happened to a better guy. -
Apologize if I'm stepping on anyone's toes. The stickied thread clearly states first come, first served for Spring games. Ryan Dempster kicks the spring off for the Cubs as they take on the Giants in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. According to Cubs.com, here is the projected lineup: SS Theriot 3B Cedeno RF Fukudome 1B Lee LF Murton C Soto 2B Cintron CF Pie P Dempster ------------ edited: Should also be broadcast on XM179 (Giants Broadcast) and KNBR 680 in San Francisco Dempster should go two innings and will be replaced by Gallagher. Pat and Ron have the call on WGN 720. Go Cubs!

Zell will consider selling naming rights to Wrigley Field
UMFan83 replied to BleedCubbieBlue81's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So in like the 6 month period he apathetically owns the team he manages to make only one major contribution, and that is to change the name of the most historic park in baseball. Hopefully its something tasteful like "Chase Park at Wrigley Field" or "Autozone Presents Wrigley Field" something dumb like that so everyone can basically still call it Wrigley. For those that think that people would still call it Wrigley, well what happened when Comiskey sold its name?
