  1. Everything Joe Maddon does is right. Tim Federowicz = rally starter.
  2. Don't think he tried to throw it there. A lot of his pitches aren't going where they should today.
  3. Playing for 1 vs. the Cubs is never a good idea.
  4. 9 of those after Rizzo whiffed on the one thing he's supposed to do as a defender and 3 more after a horrible missed strike 3 call True. Still expect bullpen early today the way things are going.
  5. Hammel doing his best "opposing pitcher vs Cubs" impression with 45 pitches thru 2.
  6. Yeah, I think if there was no flag there it would have just missed the pole. Like seriously by less than 2 inches. But the flag is there, and it's not like it was blowing fully stretched out in foul territory.
  7. Officially 1/6 of the way thru the season. On pace to go 126-36.
  8. Cubs catchers- .239/.340/.398/.737 Cubs RF- .216/.322/.245/.567
  9. we could give them treats Participation trophies.
  10. What's the Cubs worst inning in this regard? Been outscored 0-1 in the 10th.
  11. So, you kinda have to play Javy everyday right? And you kinda have to play him at 2B, right? Baez 2B > Zobrist 2B Baez 2B > Baez 3B Baez 2B > Baez LF Bryant 3B > Zobrist 2B So, Zobrist to LF, Baez to 2B. I know Joe promised Zobrist he'd be at 1 position....well, he can still keep that promise.
  12. Hmmm from what I see it doesn't look that bad. At least not bad enough for the game to be rained out entirely. Perhaps delays. Tuesday doesn't have any major rain in the forecast according to Accuweather and Wednesday it does say 'a couple of showers and thunderstorms'. But its a 12:35 local start for that one, with the Cubs having a night game the next day and the Pirates off so they could withstand some delays. From what I see outside my window (which looks at the stadium), it looks like there may be a delay to start, but it looks like most should pass by gametime, but the delay may be getting the field ready.
  13. Weather is looking rough. Another rainout would suck so much ass. And it's not going to get any better all week.
  14. The only players left from Trestman/Emery (AKA played more than 1 season w/ the Bears): Cutler Gould Fuller [highlight=yellow]Christian Jones Wilson Bellamy[/highlight] O'Donnell Jeffery [highlight=yellow]Carey[/highlight] McManis [highlight=yellow]Hurst Perry[/highlight] Leno Long Mariani [highlight=yellow]Sutton Washington[/highlight] Ferguson Young Houston The highlighted guys will likely all be on the roster bubble in camp, with 1 of the last 2 being rumored as trade bait. Pace will have overturned 17 of the 22 starters (counting Young/Houston as 1 as both started 8 games in '14 and only 1 will "start" this year) in just 1 seasons worth of games by opening day this year.
  15. I don't understand people being even remotely upset about the trade up. They moved up 2 spots and gave up a 4th (which they got back in 24 hours) for a guy they wanted that the Giants 100% would have taken based on all reports. The Bears identified a group of players as elite, a notch above the others and they got the last of that group. Not counting the QBs, that group was Elliott, Buckner, Ramsey, Bosa, Floyd, and maybe Stanley. Floyd was the last of that group and clearly they liked him more than guys like Hargreaves, Lawson and Rankins. I also wouldn't say I agree with your other points. I think the offense will try and do plenty. I also don't think they're THAT thin, but there's going to be a lot of "hoping" with this group. You gotta hope the OTs hold up. Hope Jeffery and Royal stay healthy. Hope White is ready to have a huge role. Hope Langford is the guy he flashed to be when Forte was out last year. Hope Miller stays healthy. I do think it's going to be a heavy run and short pass team though. But the Bears do have a decent group of guys who you can get the ball to early and let them make plays in Jeffery, White, Royal, and Langford. Not a lot of different weapons but if White is really as close to Amari Cooper as he is supposed to be, he and Jeffery will be about as good as it gets in this league as a combo.
  16. The Bears also tried to trade with Dallas to jump in front of SD to draft TE, Hunter Henry....who the Chargers did end up taking. I'm kinda glad that didn't happen. I like Henry, but not enough to have given up picks for him.
  17. In reality, this is pretty much how I feel without my Cubs fueled sports bravado. Well, if the Bears schedule is easy, the rest of the division will have easy schedules too as the teams only differ by 2 opponents. And 2 of the other 3 teams were playoff teams last year, with 1 of them getting back an elite player (Nelson). But I think there's a chance the Bears can pull it off. Fox has a history of big jumps in his 2nd year. And the Bears lost 7 games by 1 score. Going from possibly the worst front 7 in the league to what should be a top half group could win a lot of those close games this year.
  18. Based on the roster, I think the Bears best OL is: LT- Leno, LG- Whitehair, C- Slauson, RG- Long, RT- Massie
  19. My top 10 remaining (specific to the Bears): 1. Connor Cook, QB, Mich St 2. Kenneth Dixon, LA Tec 3. Jerell Adams, TE, So Carolina 4. Joshua Perry, LB, Ohio St 5. DJ White, CB, Georgia Tech 6. Pharoh Cooper, WR, So Carolina 7. Dak Prescott, QB, Miss St 8. KJ Dillon, S, WVU 9. Alex Collins, RB, Arkansas 10. Kalan Reed, CB, Southern Miss
  20. Damn. Wondered if he would go to LaStella or Bryant there.
