    go up to "file," then "new," then "window" and you should be all set. that's what i did and i have about 15 windows open. That did work, thanks.

    Damn, I'm trying ctrl-N and it's doing nothing :(

    Cheap org? These are the same guys that got lambasted for overpaying Ogun, Moose, TJ, Griese, Tait.

    I'm just going to assume this is alot of posturing and BS, and that the Bears will indeed have a contract for Lovie before TC. ......because obviously it would be a poor show on a lot of levels if they don't. This is Angelo's hand-picked coach; I don't believe he's going to do such a thing (even though I know it's Phillips' job.....Phillips doesn't seem unreasonable to me).

    i was watching when this happened. he looked like he was in extreme pain. he was sobbing on the bench before they wheeled him out. Yeah, it didn't look like that bad of an injury, but he was in such obvious pain on the bench. Imagine being wheelchaired out due to a shoulder injury. That confused me, but I didn't see the whole incident. Was he just in so much pain that he couldn't stand, or something?

    They are very, very solid. I don't think Phoenix can take 'em, but we'll have to see. Advantage Mavs.

    It's not only Chicago. NY and Boston are the same way. Yeah. Mark me down as not wanting to follow NY and Boston's lead......on much of anything. I'd like to follow their lead in winning a World Series... Yeah, I edited my post to include that little tid bit ;) It appears we *ARE* following their lead in the spending-to-win department.

    Damn straight.

    Really? That would be unfair to Todd, IMO. Arbitration is a process the owners agreed to have in place. Doesn't seem right that a team would harbor ill will when a player wins.

    I know. It's frustrating. Seems that Chicago likes to tear up its sports teams before the season even starts. And it starts to happen earlier each year. Now we're talking about stuff when there hasn't even been a ST pitch thrown! What's next? The post-season press-conferece questions: "Lou, assuming you'll suck next year, should you be fired?" Give me a freaking break, man. This is silly.
  12. Soul
    That's weird, because I just heard someone on ESPN radio say he would be "shocked" if we make it to training camp without a new Lovie contract.
  13. Soul
    Very few. To be honest, I seldom see anything on there I would want to see. It's about on the same level as VS -- and I get that (not like I watch it though).

    I seriously cannot believe there exists a fan who would trade a World Series championship won by guys who sometimes don't hustle for a team of ultra-hustlers who lose. This can't really exist, can it? Can't be. That's depressing. Why would someone buy into such a thing?
  15. Soul
    Actually, we probably would be a lot better with Eckstein. only because our current SS options suck and our magic pixie dust isn't so good, either

    In other news, crews were seen installing special 'no-slip' surfaces in Wood's home. Take that, goat!!

    I'm sort of with BBB on this. If Ramirez was really lazy, then how can he put up those numbers? That just doesn't make sense to me. Sounds to me like Dusty told him to take it easy, and so he did. If it means Ramirez plays the whole year, then I don't mind him not straining his legs on every ground ball. Not that it doesn't upset me when a guy loafs, because it does. But I hate seeing a player like Ramirez on the DL much more. I'm having a hard time believing this is what "people" are going to focus on. Maybe the crybaby media will, but surely not the average fan. Especially if the Cubs are winning.

    I get annoyed only because so many of them allow it to taint their analysis of the Cubs. The aforementioned Mike and the Mad Dog show, while NY-centric, often talks about national issues. When talking about the Cubs, they seem to scoff at their chances because they are the Cubs, as opposed to because of the fact that they have a GM who refuses to acknowledge the value of the walk. It pisses me off that the Cubs curse nonsense takes precedence over the competence of the management. It almost excuses poor management decisions because they couldn't help it, since it's the Cubs. that's more laziness by those guys than anything. Yeah, but it's annoying. And I'm too lazy and stupid to stay away from their show. It doesn't affect my love for the team. But I don't think that's the point. The point is, it's national media. Not east coast media. If you're going to be a national media outlet then you've got a responsibility to at least give every team a fair shake. That's what annoys me - we don't get fair coverage from those guys, and they CLAIM they cover the national sports scene. There's deception in the sense that they aren't really covering the national sports scene equally. They're covering the favorite teams that they like in a positive light, and slamming those they don't like.

    Seems pretty clear there's an East Coast/Yankee bias in those covers. Only last year----after many, many years of Yankee failure, did they finally switch to Pujols.

    It's so easy to blame the OC. Thousands of play calls are made, just pick out a random sampling of the ones we didn't like, and you've got instant fodder to hate any OC. I see an offense with mediocre to below-average talent. They appear to have outscored most projections this year. Given this, I'm having a tough time with the idea that Ron Turner should be thrown under the bus.

    Seconded. SI and ESPN have always gone out of their collective way to take shots at the Cubs. After the Cubs win the WS, I wish there was a way they could keep SI and ESPN from covering them, basically telling SI and ESPN to go ef themselves. Was there some ancient war between Chicago and the East Coast that I'm unaware of? I don't understand the incessant hatred of Chicago that comes from there. They certainly don't hate on other cities like St. Louis and Houston like they do us, that's for sure. I mean look at that line: "Enjoy it while you can, Cubs fans." My God, is there any other city in sports that has to endure such a blatant, front-cover assault like that? Someone clue me in, because I've never seen anything close to that, ever, in regards to another team. They're basically salivating over watching the Cubs fail. And after what happened with the Bears this year, Christ did we kill Giuliani or something?

    &(@#&*(@*()*!@~! SI I couldn't say what I want to on a porn site. Somebody kill these guys :evil:

    Was that game on WCIU? It wasn't on any of the channels I normally see them (WGN,Comcast,Comcast+,TNT,ESPN). Oh well. Glad they won.

    Here we go. 2nd half of the season (well, not really) starting tonight.
  25. Soul
    Whatever happens I don't see why this needs to become acrimonious. Either way it's still alot of money, and Z will be signing a long-term deal worth a ton at some point in the fairly near future, barring injury.
