Rudy Jaramillo signs, Von Joshua back to Iowa
Soul replied to big_shooter17's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think somebody on here posted that Duncan makes $800,000 with the Cardinals and that's the most amongst coaches (non-managers) in MLB. Also, I think Jaramillo used to be second on that list and now has taken over first, at least for now. Per John Hayman on MLBN, Jaramillo's take is some $400,000 more than the next-best-paid hitting coach (Mattingly.) if he can help the offense to perform like we all know it can, he's worth every penny. What does that even mean? This isn't the Colts missing Peyton Manning for a game. The Cubs have had a weak-to-mediocre offense for much of the past decade. 2008 was the outlier, and those guys are all just older now. Couple that with the likelihood of a downgrade from Bradley and it really doesn't matter what the hitting coach does. He's had Soriano before, in some of his least effective seasons which were during his peak years. Soriano might rebound just be default, but this lineup needs improvements. I guess it means one of two things: If it works out, then it was good. It if doesn't work out, then it was bad. -
Wisconsin at Northwestern BARNBURNER coming down the pipe. Yeah, this season seems to be ending with a whimper. At least there's the SEC conf. championship game to look forward to. Unless Texas decides to screw it up, it's going to be Texas vs. winner of the SEC championship game.

It's funny because I'm the guy who always yells at the TV screen "don't punt! He'll come back down and score on you!" Then Belichek actually does what I always scream about and they lose anyway. DOH! :banghead:
-
I've been saying this for months. I don't have much issue with trading Hardy, but I don't think a CF was what they needed. If Doug Melvin has any brains in his head, he'll trade Prince. Bums in seats. He won't do it. Miller Park will empty out on him.

This win gives GB a pulse. Nicely done.
-
This GB/DAL game turned out much different than I thought. If GB goes up by 10 I'm not sure DAL can come back.
-
Don't worry, you've got a bye week coming next week.
-
He doesn't really get hurt though, at least not often. Hopefully the Vikes delude themselves into thinking he'll last forever. That way they won't backfill at QB and in a couple years we can go back to more TJ :thumbsup:

Orton's season in 09 is looking much like his season in 08. He even suffered an ankle injury about midway, just like in 08

J E T S jets jets jets

I'd be happy if Matt Ryan keeps doing that late in games.
-
All the money goes to Berrian. All the production comes from Rice.
-
Anyone know what happened to Orton. I saw Simms was in but haven't heard what happened. I'm in the same boat. Red zone channel said Benson has a hip injury.
-
Kyle Orton out. Apparently Ced Benson is hurt as well.
-
Well, that'll about do it for STL
-
Somehow I think Viking fans would want the penalty called if that was Favre.
-
Rams refuse to die.
-
Just as long as this real offense doesn't wear green and yellow.
-
That DEN/WAS game is fun. Neither team seems particularly interested in playing defense, at least against the pass.
-
Hey, the Lions are doing a good job. It's after 1 pm and they're still "in it."
-
Hmmm. I thought Bama might receive a little more consideration for #1.
-
Anytime 2 former AFL teams play they wear them for the 50 year AFL Anniversary OK so it's not random. It still makes for a confusing and sort of silly display, IMO.
-
LOL does Marshall have swine flu or something?
-
Is there any actual logic behind the wearing of retro unis in the AFC? Today we have BUF/TEN both wearing retros. And we have CIN/PIT both not wearing retros. Then we have some teams who have really different looking retros like the Broncos (who aren't wearing them today), then we have teams with retros that look pretty much the same like the Colts. I mean, it's a fun idea for a week or two, but doing this all season long, in what appears to be a random fashion, is a bit much.

The Redskins no longer feel covering wide receivers is necessary.
