  1. Cubs have scored the most runs out of anyone in MLB. Have played more games than most but leaving many teams well in the dust with 84. Kyle Tucker makes such a huge addition to the lineup. Fun team so far but I'm warning Ricketts that if he doesn't give Tucker an extension I'm going to January 6 Wrigley Field *and* Marquee Studios.
  2. PCA will get MVP consideration.
  3. You're not wrong, but is the lesson also build a great defensive line so you don't have to blitz on every third down? Eagles got pressure with their front 4 all day. Also, isn't the KC Guard a free agent that some have bandied about going to the Bears? I was pretty drunk and don't remember any individual plays, but guessing he had a bad day yesterday.
  4. This trade sucks. The contracts they got back aren't even expiring, Collins and Huerter will be on the books for next year. And of course no draft capital. AKME sucks so badly.
  5. Not a fan. The logo is too old tyme and the whole thing looks like a beer league softball getup.
  6. Sammy back. Hide your beisbols, he will smash them.
  7. I'm going to be mad mad mad if Ricketty doesn't cough up for Tucker. That is all.
  8. I love that it's kicking off Friday night with the IU/ND game. Starts my two weeks of very little work and a lot of drinking nicely.
  9. I disagree with you on Matas, but otherwise, yeah. AKME has drafted very poorly and have lost on just about every other move they make. I cannot believe how horrible that Patrick Williams contract is, a player option for this guy in year 5?!?! However, one pick they did get right is Ayo and he is really the only reason I follow the Bulls anymore (Illini fan, he brought Illini hoops back). I still am a fan of the Bulls and want desperately for them to be good, but I doubt I would have watched them much at all this year without him.
  10. I haven't kept up on this but I wish they'd keep Bellinger for one more year. I'm not sold on Busch being a long-term answer at 1B, and Cody was one of the better hitters on the team.
  11. I saw a hype video for the LT for Texas (I think he won the Outland) and it was enough for me to want the Bears to draft him. No more Braxton and I have little hope for Kiran.
  12. Fire Eberflus into the sun. I don't know a coach who is better at ripping defeat out of the jaws of victory.
  13. I would love to know how they would be faring if Daniels went #1 and Williams 2. Eberflus was retained so quickly after last season that I kind of forgot he's a bad coach (pretty good D Coordinator). Between Eberflus/Waldron buffoonery and the OL being bad, it really hasn't mattered that he has some good targets. It really sucks the Bears don't fire coaches during the season. I could see this thing getting *a lot* uglier as it goes along. These guys quit yesterday.
  14. I love Ayo Dosunmu. That is all.
  15. I also got pretty drunk for this game so my observations are likely spotty but I actually though CW played better this week. Unfortunately the OL was worse and I wasn't sure that would be possible. However, the Texans are a good team and the Bears could have won that game. Next stretch of games is pretty reasonable. Hopefully it can help get the O on track.
  16. Really tough loss last night. Maybe the Cubs will get lucky in this matchup again.
  17. Their sister was supposed to be getting married today? Fvcking awful. Drunk driving is a plague but I think many who do it actually try to drive carefully as to not get caught? Sounds like this guy just got impatient and tried to pass on the right. Hopefully he never experiences freedom again.
  18. I like the later game. Will pair well with my Friday balcony beers.
  19. I will be at this game tonight. I don't think I've been to a Cubs game since 2017. Looking forward to seeing what Ricketty has done with the place.
  20. Even though I was always a Cubs fan Julio Franco was my favorite player growing up. I just loved the batting stance, it was big for me when he won AS MVP at Wrigley in 1990. DLee, Aramis, Rizzo and Javy have been the favorites since then.
  21. Happ has a no-trade clause. He's not going anywhere.
  22. It sucks that I'm starting to feel this way; when at the same time Caleb Williams and Drake Maye aren't really doing themselves any favors either. It's really not good.
  23. I've been thinking the same thing. Moore has been awesome but besides Kmet nobody has been even remotely a threat catching the ball. Hopefully someone can step up and provide some balance. Moore will definitely be getting the bulk of the attention so there is an opportunity there.
