You'd think Felix would be leading the charge on that one. Due to being born six weeks premature, Stevie Wonder was born with a condition called retinopathy of prematurity, which made him blind. You're having a bad day, B.
-
Lance Briggs fathered three(3) children in 14 months and he didn't change.
-
So have all of us, except for Banedon who likes to watch with Stevie Wonder with the sound turned down.
-
The numerousness of the videos is the deciding factor. You need to pay attention.

How can you tell the difference when a guy is just playing bad, and when his head is not in the game? Just curious. I can't tell. I want to learn how. When your last 3 managers, your local broadcasters, national broadcasters and numerous videos all say the same thing.

All they have to do is shake him off. Anyway, the game plan is established with the pitching coach, pitcher, and catcher before the game (with most teams). So, I guess the pitchers might get pissed about his receiving skills, but that's about it. He's not a good defensive catcher to be sure, though, but neither is Montero when it comes to blocking pitches. He's still a work in progress and he's learning the position. He's wearing a protective card on his left forearm(just like a QB) with info. about the pitchers and I assume some of the main batters for that night. Plus, he's looking into the dugout before each pitch. He hopped a few times left/right changing positions after calling a pitch and before it was made. Gotta believe he'll stop that soon.

Disagree. The WSox can't run out all their LH starters and win. They need catching, middle infield and CF. We seem to have available players they could use.

2015 Bears Offseason (Foxy new Head Coach page 104)
Felix Leiter replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Other Sports
Briggs' ego keeps getting in the way. He's done with the Bears. What kind of fool leaves their $100K sports car along the Edens @ 2AM? What the hell does something that happened 8 years ago have to do with anything currently happening (or more likely, not happening)? Stop being an enabler. Briggs was never a leader. -

lol why wouldnt that surprise me the cards give him a league minimum salary tell him to work on a thing or 2 for 2 weeks in AAA he comes up and becomes the Ejax of old... that wouldnt surprise me one bit The Cardinals will be needing SP for sure. Wacha and Martinez are already past their IP in a year, so at some point they'll be gassed. That leaves Lynn and Lackey and Garcia can't stay healthy.

Schwarber coming up
Felix Leiter replied to Felix Leiter's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
From what I saw of Schwarbs at the Futures game he seems to have a good leadership attitude and outgoing personality. That's something you can't teach and wouldn't it be great to have that leader behind the plate for years to come. Catching is pretty hard and I'm all for him getting experience up here. He seems real eager to learn and I'm sure he'll get help from Montero and Ross. As to playing left also, Yogi Berra had a wonderful career catching and playing the OF. -
The injury to Montero is lingering. Welcome back, Schwarbs!!!!
-
ESPN has been bleeding viewership and has the big NBA rights nut coming up @ $1B+. They pay the Big 10 $100M for football/basketball and they'll lose them soon. But they keep Berman, Kenny Mayne, the droning Vitale, the abysmal 'His and Hers' and flogging us with the cheating Valvano programming. YIKES.
-
Doesn't hurt to ask the Rockies what they might want. If you could turn Arenado into 2 everyday position players and 2 starting pitchers, I think they'd listen.
-
The Sox have friends of Reinsdorf doing the broadcasts and they are terrible. Does anyone think Ed Farmer could get a job anywhere else in the booth? And Hawk is beyond the pale. They have no Harry Caray selling the stadium, selling the team and making the broadcasts interesting. When Harry and Jimmy Piersall did the Sox games, at least they were entertaining. They praised the Sox when they needed it and criticized them when they screwed up. Reinsdorf buys the team and fires Harry. Bad decision. The Sox on WLS caters to an older demo and the ratings will continue to tank. My God, LS has sure gone down the crapper from the heights of good old Uncle Lar andJohn Landecker.

The Cubs should not "clean out" players for the sake of streamlining positions. Disagree completely. We played Mike Baxter in RF and Lake, Alcantra, etc.. weren't even mentioned as replacements. It's obvious the FO has soured on them and they could be stopping other AA-AAA players from getting playing time. Would the Rox even listen to a deal for Nolan Arenado if the Cubs offered Baez, Alcantra, Black and Pierce Johnson?
-
It may provide an opportunity for the Cubs to clean out some of the minor leagues of players like Almora, Lake, Alcantra, Vogelbach and young pitching like Corey Black and others. Teams like the WSox, Marlins and Rox who realistically can't compete with their current rosters may do a 3 for 1 more readily. Much of it depends on whether we can trade Castro, the development of Baez into a 3rd-ss-2nd starter and whether it's decided that Bryant stays at 3rd or not. Is McKinney an untouchable?
-
The Charlie Blackmon(trade) and Dee Gordon(trade) ideas are interesting and I'd add Jose Quintana from the White Sox, who are LH-heavy.
-
What nationality is Addison Russell?
Felix Leiter replied to Cubbie Swagger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
that's what it looks like to me if not filipino, maybe that half is whatever hawaiians are called Do you also think that ESPN's Mike Tirico is an offspring of his two white parents, as he has always insisted? -
Theo was on The Score Sat. AM(July 4th) and had little to add on things we know. Only 3-4 teams ready right now to deal because of 2nd wildcard. Expects things could pick up later this month. Doesn't believe we need another blockbuster trade, but growth will come from within. Bullpen has been strength the last 6 weeks, he called them '3rd best' in all of baseball. Says Joe Maddon always remains positive on players and doesn't bury them behind closed doors. Said if Javy hadn't been hurt was on the verge of being called up.
-
That's OK. I'm a sucker for all the 'Jesus found' covers of TIME and NEWSWEEK that come out at Christmas time. If it's true, I don't want to miss that story. No need to surrender, David. All of us are eager for the latest news, I'd just prefer from someone who will at least put their name to it.
-
He's been sleeping at times already.
-
With yet another Castro mental lapse last night, it really puts Joe Maddon in a bad spot. He can't hurt Castro's trade value by sitting him down or publicly criticize him, but not 'respecting 90' goes against the direction of the team. Castro, who was supposed to be one the leaders of this team, can't be allowed to continue this way. How many clubhouse conversations does it take before it works?
-
3 time All-Star>Flores, although both suffer thru mental lapses on the field.
-
Trade Castro to the Mets, who don't have an answer at SS and desperately need offense. I'd also throw in Lake or Mendy. I want Noah Syndergaard back.
