  1. Yeah, it was just weird. But you guys, feel free to enjoy.
  2. I know that platoons make sense and that Olt and Lake are anything but sure things, but it is a lot more fun when Castro, Rizzo, Olt, and Lake are playing.
  3. So, you like AL DH system? Who wants to watch horrible batters hit?
  4. I really eschew the pitchers hitting at all.
  5. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/mock-draft/expert/rob-rang This mock has us taking S Pryor and CB Roberson in the first two rounds...not sure if I like the specific picks, but I would be good with two defensive backs in the first 2-3 rounds.
  6. What does that even mean? Kreutz was a highly paid player who dominated the locker room. It sucked that the Bears "best" lineman was a freaking center, even when he was good. Garza is a fairly compensated mediocre lineman who is not guaranteed the starting job for game 1, let alone the entire season. My point in bringing up Kruetz was that he was getting by largely on rep during his last couple of years. I suspect the same thing is happening with Garza. In any case, most of the mock drafts I am keeping an eye on have the Bears going with Dennard, Gilbert or Dix. I think this may be because Donald's stock is rising and the kid from Minnesota is now viewed as a high second-rounder. Garza graded out at +7.2 and DLP graded out at +6.1.
  7. What does historically sucking at it have to do with anything? It's a new crew.
  8. Epstein and Hoyer have had two drafts.
  9. In slow motion it seems like he should have gone to second, but he had a lot of momentum going forward...would have been a really awkward turn. Probably was completely intent on going to first but never got in stride to make the throw.
  10. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/04/06/levine-bonifacio-short-or-long-term-answer/ Levine is suggesting it might be time to give Bonifacio a three-year deal. :nea:

  12. Serious help from Soriano? No, from the 17.7 mil we are paying Soriano to play for someone else. Somebody had to pay Soriano that cash. You really think we could just dump him, contract and all, on another team and then have 17 mil to play with?
  13. Serious help from Soriano?
  14. You're probably right, just fantasizing about what having a decent catcher with a great hit tool would look like.... Ummm...perhaps I should have chosen my words more carefully. LOL!!!! That was like one of those amazing, and real, auto-corrects you see online! http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/lol.gif

  16. Classic Roast construction...
