    Now we're in trouble.

    Now we're in some real pretty.....well you know.

    He's great at everything, you just aren't digging deep enough into the right stats to see it.
  4. Soul
    That sucked.
  5. Soul
    He's been sorta good in Philly. If he maintains it good for him, but his WHIP over the past couple seasons definitely doesn't justify the infatuation around here for him.
  6. Soul
    Gotta love the squeeze play in that situation :roll:
  7. Soul
    I pray to God it isn't as long as it took him to realize Howry sucks.

    Really going to put it on Neal? Not putting it on him, but it's not like he pitched well or anything.
  9. Soul
    Cotts has been pretty bad lately too. There's no way he's gonna recover from a horrid error like Soriano's.
  10. Soul
    Wow, did I step into a time machine? Feels like '06.

    Hmmmmm......Z starting to worry me slightly. Plenty of time to figure it out before playoff time though.

    and depressing to know that if we go 2-3 in the first round of the playoffs, the season is over. no kidding...all playoff series should be 7 games. You guys are making me nervous and it's not even September yet. I've been nervous the whole season! Its a Cub fan thing. We could be up by 5 in game 7 of the World Series with nobody on, 2 outs and 2 strikes and be thinking now how will we blow this one. I won't believe it until the final out is recorded and I'm drunk from all the celebrating. Actually, maybe not until the next day when I wake up with the most massive hangover ever. I'm scarred that way. Give me a break I can't help it. :cool:

    It is strange how they sort of sandbagged on it for years and then all of a sudden they flip the switch and it's gung-ho to get it in without even an offseason in between. I'm for it, but I'm also sort of curious about the way it is being done.

    The Cards have some solid opponents in September. They've got 6 against us, 7 against Zona, 3 against the Marlins. They've also got Pitt & Cincy games left that will serve as a nice breather in between their more difficult series. Brewers get us for 6, 3 against the Mets, 3 against the Phils. They've got more on the "easy" side IMO than the Cards do.

    I can't see the Brewers tripping up and winding up out of the playoffs. The last time they saw the Cards it was a sweep, right? Not sure that will happen again, but the Crew is more than capable of laying a couple losses on a Cards team that has started to fade a bit. No offense to Cards fans. I just see the Crew as a better overall ballclub. Even if they were to lose 2 here, I still think they're in.

    Lauper thinks he's hot too. We can't lose.

    The desperation of the calls were unjustified. Clark is a perfectly capable #1 TE. TE help would have been appropriate, but people were dying for a first round TE. I'm not complaining about the Olsen pick, but the Bears have always had bigger needs than TE, most notably QB and OL. First round picks in general should be difference makers, and there are very few true difference makers at the TE position, and even fewer of them that came from the first round. Everybody is obsessed with the big body that's also fast with good hands, but those guys are more luxury than must have players. Get your offensive line set, find a QB, and you can turn most any second tier TE into a pass catching machine. If Angelo just would have backfilled OL with some of those mid round picks instead of wasting them on weird reaches we'd probably be fine. But I agree with you in principle -- OL should have been addressed all along, over TE.

    First round picks like Olson shouldn't be sharing time. They should also be able to block. He is always going to have a quick guy on him because whenever he is in the game, you know he isn't there to block. he isnt "sharing" time because he cant block, he is sharing time because he and dez clark are their two best receivers and both need to be on the field. this olson cant block thing is a myth. No Olsen is a pretty crappy blocker. Easily in the bottom 1/3 of TEs. You'd never put him in a strictly blocking capacity, but he's adequate as a blocker, as far as receiving tight ends are concerned. Clark is easily the best all-around TE on the roster (OH AND BY THE WAY ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO WHINED ABOUT NEEDING A TE WHEN CLARK WAS HERE ALL ALONG, SOME OF US KNEW THIS FACT BEFORE NOW), but Olsen provides a more dynamic pass catching target. The new guy probably has more of a chance to be like Clark than Gilmore. The calls for TE help were not completely unjustified at the time.

    I don't know why Z has struggled against the Pirates this year, but he'll be better tonight. Shell Snell.
  21. Soul
    Still a long way to go, but the DBacks are now 3.5 games ahead of the Dodgers, Manny and all.
  22. Soul
    We are now 32-31 on the road. :good: :good:
  23. Soul
    31 games over .500 Wow. It's like Christmas in the Summertime.
  24. Soul
    Now I want a transcript of that meeting with Lou, LOL.

    Bazuin & Wolfe were sooooo disappointing. When Jerry picked Okwo I thought, "ok maybe he's got some talent and we will likely need another LB." I wasn't so angry at that one at the time. In hindsight yes, it looks like it was another bad one.
