    Part of me is actually looking forward to watching some new players out there. All of me is wanting to see that.

    The only positive is that it turned the decisions to be made black/white and no longer a grey area. It’s sell time. Bring up the kids to get experience and get rid of Arrietta, Sogard and Heyward (if you can) Call ‘em an Uber.

    Let’s move all Cubs content to the Other Sports forum.

    I think Contreras is the only player on this team I really think will be worth an extension but you're not extending a 29 year old catcher when you have Miguel Amaya in the wings and starting a rebuild. Yeah, it’s time to bring this whole thing to the ground and re-set. I’d love it if the team was sold, actually. I’m so done with this now. Thanks for the memories…

    My GOD this team is trash.

    It’s OK, they tank out by July instead of September. I consider that a plus.

    10 in the 8th, that’s a fat finger right?

    The problem with all that optimistic schedule stuff that was earlier in this post is if they don't get their horsefeathers together in like the next 2 weeks, it won't matter because Ricketts is begging to sell, and frankly I think Jed would like to as well if he gets an excuse. Also, even the crappiest teams have a good week or two. Catch them at the wrong time and the Cubs won't necessarily win as many of those games as they should. The opposite is also true.

    Love it.

    Right now they literally have 5 kids on a widescreen in the booth and they’re commenting on their antics. And it’s more interesting than the game.

    Maybe he should retire as a Cub. Today.

    I was there, sigh. It was great to be at Wrigley again, even though there was only one MLB team there and it wasn’t the Cubs.

    Most interesting thing about his ball game is seeing how big the beer cup snakes can get.

    LOL I’ve never met anyone that weird about it. I guess I would roll with it: I’m from just outside Chicago, not within the city limits. …and yes I put ketchup on my hot dogs. Also mayo is way better with fries than ketchup.

    Smokies can probably catch the ball better than this. What does regression to the mean look like for this club? Right now I feel like it’s 10 under.
  16. Soul
    What a horsefeathering joke.

    I think Jenkins was one of the most predicted picks for the Bears at #20 across all the mocks. It sucks giving up all these picks but it’s very clear what the Bears’ priority is, and it’s the right priority.

    Don't get too used to it. Won't happen next year. Ahh yeah, you're right. If Fields is as good as I think he will be, I'll feel OK about things after day 1 next year.
  19. Soul
    Yeah, he's a perfect fit. Ballhawking off-man/zone corner with good instincts and obviously bloodlines. Also seems like a guy that would perform well with the talent that would surround him on this defense vs. what he had with a bunch of underachievers at FSU. But I'm a big proponent of after taking a QB early, you either protect him or give him a target with the next pick. I know it's a simplistic mentality but I'm just wanting them to take the top OT on the board.
  20. Soul
    I could get used to this waking up after day 1 of the draft feeling really good.
  21. Soul
    They did draft him a couple of 2nd round WR that became pro-bowlers with Rodgers help and he also inherited another stud 2nd rounder in Jennings. In 2008 when they took Nelson, he was the 3rd WR off the board as there were none taken in the 1st. He developed into easily the best of the three and only DeSean Jackson taken later in the round has an argument vs him in the entire class. In 2014 they could have traded up for OBJ or even Cooks. But it was a super deep class and they waited till the 2nd and landed a future All-Pro in Adams. Poor Aaron has never lacked weapons. I think I saw in the last 10 years the Packers have drafted one offensive player in the first round....Jordan Love. Rodgers' clock is ticking, his successor is on the roster, and the Packers draft defense high a lot of times. Too many times for his taste. He sees Brady leave and immediately win. He looks at his one trophy, from long ago. Then he says why shouldn't I complain about this? It makes a lot of sense to me.

    Well, this is a big reason why I would rather have had the “next” GM make the QB pick. But the reality is, Pace is the GM, we don’t really know the Bears are even thinking past him yet, and this is an actual legitimate 1st round talent. I’m happy Pace made a QB pick that I’m on board with, basically. I didn’t have much faith he could do it.
  23. Soul
    Ok. This pick makes sense. Happy.
  24. Soul
    Seems like there’s some consensus when looking across multiple mocks: OT Teven Jenkins CB Greg Newsome I’d love a new QB but hate the idea that Pace would be the guy to make that pick.
  25. Soul
    That gave me a laugh, thanks WF. Or was I really crying inside?
