    TBF, those pitchers had shown more power in their career that Sal Frelick. David Ross had CTE and just aimed for the ball in the middle. Thank God the Indians used Andrew Miller so much his arm was hanging by a thread. I put money on the Brewers to win the WS when they went up 2-0 on the Dodgers. Wish I had done it much, much earlier. It's their year.

    I don't disagree, but the Vikings should have known what they were getting into when they drafted him so high. His tools are evident and based on what I've seen he can be a productive pro. The Giants have to be thrilled to get him for just a 5th. I hope Minnesota never figures out the QB position despite having a so-called QB whisperer at head coach.

    I hate the stupid Vikings and how they're 6-0, but at least they have to watch JJ9 go to another team an immediately have success. How did they screw up that situation so badly? They got peanuts in return for him as well. Hopefully their reign of smoke and mirrors ends soon. If I was a vikings fan I wouldn't be too confident about the rest of the season.

    It's not great but unfortunately, I think the East is better than the West now. They have two goliaths in SA and OKC, with Minnesota, Denver and LA behind them. The East just seems to have more depth so won't get the usual schedule bump until that changes again IMO. Can't wait to see this team play. I don't care that they'll win maybe 30 games, a lot to be excited about.

    Doesn't sound super serious, though. Don't rush back and hope the Newman guy (Newman!) gets some good reps in.

    I don't hate it, but I'd prefer a new corner or two before they address edge. They traded Gervon for a corner and a fifth, but it doesn't seem like he has played. WTF Poles? Atlanta gave Gervon a big deal and the Bears took scraps in return. Bring back Ian Cunningham?

    Didn't we have some guys in the preseason play pretty well at rb? I'm quite certain rojo is the slowest and least explosive running back I've seen on the Bears. If Swift is banged up too they NEED to bring in someone.
  8. The_Achiever
    I thought the Q-stuff was well known. Oh well, no need to rehash any of that.

    I remember that Nats series well. You describe it accurately as it was a true battle. I was so happy we won and think it kind of helped validate the WS the year prior (not that it needed it but still good to at least make it back to the NLCS the year after it happened). We had a shot against the Dodgers but seemingly had run out of gas.

    I am not into sports gambling or prediction markets, but I am thinking about putting down some cash on the Brewers to win it all this year. The Dodgers look dead and MKE looks like the clear team of destiny. Could Cleveland (or the Rays) give them a real shot? I don't follow the AL very closely and can't name 3 guys on either team. It just seems like it's the Brewers year and I should act accordingly. Either I would win money or see a very funny collapse.

    Yesterday was so bad, every time I tried to watch I saw us do something stupid or frustrating. We have been so inconsistent week to week. I know a lot of that is the qb injury issues but problems seem deeper than that.
  12. The_Achiever
    Need another corner before an edge I think. I co-sign the end of the Tyrique Stevenson experiment. He should be a backup and special teams guy, IMO.
  13. The_Achiever
    Yeah, they have absolutely killed the Packers and Saints now. Won't be an easy game for sure. On the road, too.
  14. The_Achiever
    I didn't hear it but apparently Dan Hampton and EOB and callers to their show seem to think Bagent is the answer at QB. They all think Caleb will cost too much and doesn't play in structure. No shade to him but I'm not putting my super bowl hopes on Tyson f'ing Bagent. Bears fans (at least the ones that call into talk radio) are massive idiots.

    9iants.

    How does Petco rate as far as being a home run park? Hopefully Shota can give us an effective start there, he's been our most consistent starting pitcher this year.
  17. The_Achiever
    Yeah, he's awesome and I really like Muhammad as well. Need to see the Iowa C get some reps and Roush to get it together.
  18. The_Achiever
    Her announcement had an AI slop version of the Chicago Skyline. C'mon, just a little bit of effort, people.
  19. The_Achiever
    I greatly enjoyed watching the Packers fall to 1-2 but it's not hard to see the Case Keenum-led Bears being there Monday as well. Maybe this division isn't so great after all.
  20. The_Achiever
    From what it sounds like, the 2016 Cubs went out til 4 AM every night getting hammered drunk and still won it all so I sure as heckfire don't mind the 2026 Cubs getting drunk and watching horsies on their off day.
  21. The_Achiever
    Heh, was just going to ask if he can pick up some bullpen work too.
  22. The_Achiever
    My office, including me, will be in attendance at the game tonight. Despite living downtown Chicago I haven't been to a game all year. Pretty excited; hopefully we get a big W and Pete locks down 40/40.
  23. The_Achiever
    Everyone just needs to pretend like they've never heard of Lambeau being referred to as "The Frozen Tundra". Epicbaconsauce rage bait right there folks.
  24. The_Achiever
    Not anymore. The Bears have snatched their chain in more ways than one.
  25. The_Achiever
    The Chicago forecast has rain in it every day from tomorrow until the game. There could be some sloppy conditions to deal with. Good thing we can run the horsefeathers out of the ball, and I thought the D played alright against the run in Carolina. I saw some of Minnesota week 1 and Carson was playing on a knife's edge a bit. Given that the game will be outside and in possibly imperfect conditions, I think the Bears roll.
