Anyone else pick up tickets to the London games that went on sale today? Was able to get tickets to the first game (too expensive to go to both)...cant wait though, should be a good time.

If you're going to be bad, you might as well look bad too

Worst thing is that it doesnt seem like his sons are deviating much from his path. Hopefully its like the Bill/Rocky Wirtz relationship where he abided by his father's outdated wishes until he passed and then completely overhauled the organization.

Yeah it concerns me that they seem to get outshot every game, and in many cases by a lot. But if the excelling goaltending is sustainable then they might be a playoff team.

2019-20 Offseason Rumors/General Chit-Chat
UMFan83 replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Well for 2018, if trading TLS doesn't qualify then signing Descalso definitely doesn't qualify, at least in hindsight. Could probably just leave last offseason off the list, at least until Kimbrel. I think you'll see transactions continue to get pushed back. Even something like the potential Morrow signing, it was hinted that there have been good discussions but they want to wait until after 12/1 because of 40 man roster considerations. Yeah...but I do think the trading him away was more notewrothy to us than the trading for him. I was more looking at the first time we actually had a noteworthy transaction to discuss. I do remember us discussing the trading for TLS, but it was more about us trading Vizcaino. By the time TLS became a world champion who went AWOL during the season, then later became a board meme, trading him away was noteworthy enough. -
2019-20 Offseason Rumors/General Chit-Chat
UMFan83 replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Out of complete boredom, I looked up what date the Cubs made their first significant transaction in the contention years. Not sure if acquiring or trading Seal Boy is a significant transaction so I included the next transaction in those years as well. 2018: November 29 (Traded Tommy La Stella to Angels) or December 18 (Signed Daniel Descalso) 2017: December 7 (Signed Tyler Chatwood) 2016: November 29 (Signed Jon Jay) 2015: December 8 (Signed John Lackey/Ben Zobrist, Traded Starlin to Yankees) 2014: November 16 (Traded Arodys Vizcaino to Braves for TLS) or December 9 (Traded for Miguel Montero) -

If Mitch really was hurt a couple series before, it makes sense because his accuracy went south in the 4th quarter. He wasn’t exactly great before then but he struggled mightily in the 4th
-
It’s insane that the Rams have 3 starters out on their offensive line but the Bears haven’t put a ton of pressure on the Rams all game.
-
Some of these stats are hilarious. 37 pass attempts to throw for 176 yards for Mitch. David Montgomery with 13 carries for 27 yards

smart move Patterson
-
This team is such a chore to watch
-
Lol at the exact same position they were at a minute ago (except a shorter 4th down last time) they choose to go for it. I wonder what that says about their confidence in Eddie
-
Paces grand plan to fix his Parkey mistake is looking like a failure. 75% FG%, 2 missed XPs. Great work Pace
-
Holy crap is that extreme

Are you sure? i heard the triout was moved and only 3 teams showed (?) I heard 8 Anyways, here is the entire replay of the workout

Astros stole signs electronically in 2017
UMFan83 replied to Banedon's topic in General Baseball Talk
Randomly lashing out publicly in response to a non-accusation is totally something an innocent person does right? Very Trumpian, which should play well with his fan base -
I wonder how long they can keep winning while getting outshot by 10+ SOG

sometimes deck chairs need to be rearranged
UMFan83 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Speaking of rearranging deck chairs, I saw this job posting from the Cubs on LinkedIn: -
Bears have to be one of the last teams to play a game in LA since the return of the Rams and arrival of Chargers right?
-
Ho hum just a blowout DePaul win at Iowa

If you were seriously still considering a run to the playoffs, the next 3 weeks are critical. Next week they travel to LA for the first time since 1994 to play the Rams who are formidable but maybe more winnable than it appeared before the season. After that, our 2 most winnable games the rest of the season (vs Giants, @ Detroit on Thanksgiving). Bears probably need to win all 3 of the games to have a shot considering after that is the Dallas, @ GB, KC, @ Min gauntlet to finish the year I fully realize they aren’t making the playoffs but have to keep talking about it if they are going to still hang around the border of contention

Moderate success is basically having 10 competent minutes of offense surrounded by 50 minutes of garbage This is probably only the second time (1st was Washington) they scored 20 points before garbage time all season. Actually, this reminded me a bit of the redskins game where the offense had a 1 quarter spurt of competence and almost nothing outside of that
