Don't expect Gracie to be nice when he does his first Cubs game...
-
It shows how desperately the Suns need Nash to be successful. Still, it's a road win against a decent club even without Nash. I'll take it. Doesn't totally make up for that Warriors nightmare though.
-
That's important. If the Bears final offer to Briggs was, in fact, $5.5 mil/yr as reported, then it looks like Briggs is as good as gone.
-
Nope. Worse, actually. Last April Miller made a play with the Brewers that still sticks in my mind. On a medium-depth flyball to left-center Miller tagged up at first base and advanced to second base standing up. That blew my mind. That was the moment when the full awfulness of Juan Pierre's throwing arm became clear to me. It's little moments of horror like these that define our lives as Cub fans, unfortunately.

I think it's because Dwayne Wade lacks leadership. Signed, the Dirkenator ;) Actually, there's like 3 hall of famers on the floor right now, maybe 4, and a good portion of the 100 level seats could not doubt be had for face value. Amazing. I know people criticize the Bulls for selling out to corporate packages and what-not. But at least Chicago finds a way to fill up its stadium on a regular basis.

Maybe for the younger pitchers, or the ones where Barrett just hasn't had enough time to build up a relationship.
-
Just give us the NL pennant right now.
-
Watching Spurs @ Heat on ABC. Amazing how many empty seats there are on a Sunday afternoon. Dwayne Wade isn't enough of a draw to even fill all the first row seats in the stadium. Truly amazing. Are Miami fans the worst in the world? Sure seems that way.

Red Sox Don't Like Matsuzaka Chugging Beer on TV
Soul replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It looks like he's done that a few times. :wink: -
http://www.firesoul.com Is it weird that I totally got the irony of the joke, yet still clicked the link . . . just in case? ;) The site is down because I was already fired. That's why I'm here :P You should have seen the day after I was hired. Wow, those were the days.
-
You should probably read what's on the site before criticizing. I wasn't talking about the content of the site.
-
I can't think of a more annoying trend than the "fireXXX" websites that sprout up the day after a new coach is hired. Does someone still think this is funny or cute? It isn't.
-
What's really scary is I once thought Bobby Hill would develop into a decent little leadoff/pesky-style hitter. Oh yeah. Don't EVER trust one of my scouting assessments :lol: I thought Brant Brown would eventually be a good successor to Mark Grace, too. I totally suck.

Fassero calls it a career
Soul replied to Post Count Padder's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
He wasn't a crappy lefty. He just got old. Oh, he was pretty crappy the past few years. That's because he got old. regardless of age he was crappy. i remember being scared everytime he took the mound towards the end of his stay in chicago. Fassero and Veres................those two made my stomach turn when they pitched with the Cubs. Well, at least Fassero could actually *USE* the excuse of being old. -
How the $!@#*& do you let the Warriors drain 7 threes on you in the 4th quarter?!? This team is going nowhere. :evil: :evil:
-
MLB won't lose a single fan over this. Blustering and bellyaching to the Moon and back, yes. But not a single fan lost.
-
For a team that added veterans and is supposed to be playoff contender, they sure do suck on the road. Especially out West. Do they have a real good road win yet this year?
-
Looks like a better decision than Norv from where I'm sitting. Especially after the Garrett hiring. It's still kind of blah though. Wade's at least got some success as a HC in his past.
-
He's tossing TDs at Bulger's rate, and he isn't in a passing offense as Bulger is/was. Grossman's doing fine.
-
Alot of the so-called power elite of NCAA football are steaming over Illinois. What's their deal? A new program pulls an old, tradition-rich school out of the doldrums after many, many years of incompetence. That's the very definition of U of M, ND, Miami, FSU ---- all these schools did the very same thing. At one point or another, nearly every school was terrible

Pirates sign Kolb
Soul replied to Post Count Padder's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Always crazy to think of players like this. How does it work that a guy is that good for a year, then just tanks? Assuming it's not drugs, then what? Voodoo? -
Why wouldn't he develop? I don't see why he wouldn't. Many great QBs didn't take their teams anywhere near the Super Bowl in their first full years. I won't bother naming names because I'm not going to try to compare Grossman to great QBs, but it's true nonetheless. And "he had a great defense" excuse just doesn't cut it. The Bears defense was quite mediocre throughout the entire 2nd half of the season, and in the playoffs. Grossman should develop, so long as he doesn't let the hack job artists into his head. Those who said Grossman would never take this team to the Super Bowl are desperate for him to fail now that they've been shown to be wrong. Even if it hurts the Bears, many in Chicago will try their hardest to unseat this player.

All he has to do is buy up a lot of MLB.TV stock once people find out they can't get their MLB EI anymore, and he'll be as rich as he wants to be. He's already told the world he's retiring. Now he's just got to get his retirement fund started. His kid's kid's kid's kids have got to eat. If this is going to have a detrimental effect on MLB, then explain how Sunday Ticket has hurt the NFL.
-
Remember TJ and the Cardinals? Carr has all the earmarks of a QB who can still be very good. Houston takes good players and makes them look like trash. An NFL black hole, just like the Cardinals and Lions. Not sure if there's anything we can do to get him, but just saw his name and decided to chime in.

Super Bowl XLI: Bears vs. Colts, Sun 2/4, 5:30 pm CT
Soul replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
The Bus finally got a ring, that's the last Super Bowl I remember. All of that has been blocked from my memory. I don't see why you'd have to block anything from memory, that makes it all the sweeter. I agree to an extent, but that one really really hurt. I did my best to forget that game as soon as "he missed it". Yeah, that 2005 Colts team was the best Colts team I have ever seen-great offense, good defense, good special teams. They just had the tragedy and then too much rest for the key people, and they took 3 quarters off and it was 1 quarter too much. That was a tough one to swallow for sure-in the playoffs, the 2006 team finally started looking somewhat like the 2005 version again. It's interesting. This year's Colts: maybe not quite as high-octane as the 2005 group. But tougher, a little more experienced, maybe a little more battle tested. And that got 'em through. I still don't think that Steelers team was all that great. Should have lost against the Colts----didn't impress me in the Super Bowl, got a ton of calls from the refs, made a couple gadget plays and won it.
