  1. Ross needs to hire someone to be the game manager and he can just motivate guys and stuff. He's terrible at this.
  2. No matter who is coaching the players, no matter who the players are, no matter who the opponents are, the Cubs are doomed to suck with RISP for the rest of time.
  3. The Cubs are coming off a 1-6 road trip against the Marlins and Nationals and are 4-10 in their last 14 games, but tickets still need to be sold. Calling up Mervis is a smart marketing decision
  4. Rumors are that AK got a secret extension too, just like Donovan before the season. Rewarding more mediocrity. The franchise is hopeless
  5. The Cubs are 12-15 when not playing one of the worst teams ever
  6. This is just an incomplete team. It looks good until you get to 5th or 6th in the lineup when some combo of Hosmer/Barnhart/Madrigal/Rios fills out the bottom spots. But not Velazquez who is for some reason only allow to play in every 4th game.
  7. We really gonna go 1-5 on a road trip against the Nationals and Marlins?
  8. No, its just that the entirety of the Cubs decisions this year are based off not hurting Hosmer's feelings.
  9. Not as good as they were going 11-6, not as bad as they are now going 4-8 in their last 12. Considering we don't have our best 26 guys on the roster right now I'd say there is room for improvement. The crappy thing is that their schedule coming up is so tough I'm worried about a tailspin that we can't recover from. The goal should be to hang around enough so that we're talking deadline additions instead of deadline subtractions.
  10. This is a good spot to brag about being in DC on business on Monday and going to the Cubs-Nats game. I was sitting in section 135 - literally 4 rows behind the entire Michigan football team! What are the odds? Got a picture with Harbaugh, chatted with Denard Robinson, got a huge cheer yelling "horsefeathers ohio" as I walked up the steps and past the team. Great night! Reference to how close I was sitting:
  11. Wow the site has been up for 16 hours and I had no idea, I kept going to the old domain. Glad to be back! There was at least 40 different times I thought to come here and read or comment on something before remembering we were down.
  12. Kilian has allowed 22 runs in 4 MLB starts. Seems sub-optimal
  13. It’s great that we’re on day 4 of 16 straight games
  14. Was really hoping we could build up a cushion before the death march against good teams but instead seem to be heading back down to earth. Thankfully the A’s series has kept us over .500 for now
  15. In addition the oline is a bit better off but surprised no centers or any other line depth as well. Oluwatimi from Michigan would have been an excellent Center choice in the 5th
  16. So as it stands right now, the only times the Bears will pick in their allotted draft position is in round 3 and round 7
  17. Ok now my app updated to say that 136 is not a Bears pick lol
  18. My phone shows they have 133, 136, 140 and 148? I’ve been at a wedding all weekend so relying on various apps to keep me up to date and that’s what it says
  19. Bears have a stretch coming up at the end of the 4th start of the 5th with 4 picks in a 16 pick span. Noting the discussion on roster filler are we taking some gambles here? Other than Edge and Center, any specific areas to target?
  20. Paging @Ding Dong Johnson also looks like Kilian is making the start
