    Get over yourself and your armchair opinions. Lol, thats probalby construed as a personal attack, but I agree with you. You can't act like you know more than a GM in baseball, the guy has his job for a reason. GM's are smart, smart people, with degrees from great universities. I know Epstein is a Yale grad. Having your opinion is one thing but just keep at that, an opinion, don't try to make it fact! edit - grammar Funny you mention that, because I would kill to have Theo Epstein as our GM. And not because of his Yale degree either. But just to counter your point, Jim Hendry attended Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama where he received a bachelor's degree in communications and journalism. Not exactly Ivy League. Hell, not even Big East :wink: . (Although, probably not as bad as Dusty's American River Junior College). Besides, why do you overlook the possibility (or likelihood) that some people in the general population are smarter? The general population is an awfully large group of people. As for Hendry, the only thing I fault him for is his loyalty to Dusty. He may make some questionable moves with mediocre players, but what GM doesn't? He got us Aramis, Lee, Barrett, Walker, and a bunch of other players I love. The Nomar trade was brilliantly orchestrated. I just wish he would accept just how bad our manager really is.

    So the magic number remains 4. Technically, at least. The tiebreakers and all that could make that a little different.

    Some of you might want to show the admin of this site a little more respect. :? He deserves it. :)

    Don't forget Pie is 20 years old and expected to be playing regularly in the majors at 21. I don't know what you consider a "can't miss" prospect (or if there is such a player), but he's the closest this organization has had in a long, long time. Yep, pretty much since Patterson was rated the #1 prospect in baseball. ;) However, we have had a couple of pitchers come up since then that were pretty much "can't miss". For example, there was the kid named Prior... Good call, Tim. They don't come anymore "can't miss" than Prior. He was Major League ready straight out of college.

    Anyone remember when Abreu's little (or was it big?) brother was an infielder in the Cubs system? Dennis, I think?
  6. David
    I agree on all counts.

    13-0
  8. David
    Same team. It's just that it's in the process of running into a freight train. :wink: Kidding aside, I don't expect this game to continue so one-sided. Panthers are bound to do something.

    If someone would catch the ball There goes Moose's chance of getting signed by the Cubs :D Panthers take over. This is a key drive. We need to show the Bears that we aren't intimidated. Didn't do a good job of that. :wink:

    Honestly, I'd much rather have Hill starting everyday than Perez if/when we got rid of Walker. Of course, it'll never happen.

    I still think it'd be wishful thinking on our parts, but... http://www.nysun.com/article/23217 I found it interesting in light of this comment in today's Mike Downey column in the Tribune... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/cs-051118downey,1,1416748.column?page=2&coll=cs-home-utility You would think if they were short of money, though, the last thing they'd want to get rid of is one of their biggest cash cows.
  12. David
    Somehow, I don't think that'll be happening. :wink:

    They don't look that bad. They've had 2 field goal attempts. And the Niners won't come close to scoring unless they get Wade's help. That being said, i could see a 3-0 ending as well. Just thought I'd point out how prophetic this post was...

    Wilkerson in CF, Floyd in RF?

    And tied with the Giants at 6-3. If the Pack (fat chance, but they're up 14-0), Rams, and Jets (fat chance) can win, we'll be tied for the best record in the conference.. :lol: Of course, it probably won't matter once they hit the tougher part of the schedule, but you never know. If we can secure a first round bye, we'd have better odds of lucking into the SB... EDIT - also, as it gets later in the season, maintaining the lead is almost a victory in itself...Obviously, it'll get tougher and tougher to make up 2 games as we go deeper. I hope/expect we'll get to that New Year's game with more than a one game lead on the Vikes. next week begins the tough stretch for the Bears. We'll see how they come out against a good team like Carolina. The Bears have done what they needed to do though..beat the teams that they have to beat (with the exception of Cleveland). If they win 3 of their final 7, they have the division. Yep. I just wish they could go into that stretch with Rex taking the snaps. I think Orton is going to get exposed again against a good team like Carolina, just like he was against Cincy. Any chance Rex is off the inactive list for the TB game still, or is it pretty much looking like Green Bay?

    They do gain ground on the Giants for home field, though.
  20. David
    Agreed.
  21. David
    Yes, please. Why not go with Zoom? Or maybe Vasher?
  22. David
    That's honestly almost nausea-inducing. :?: I think he means the orange uni's To which I still reply.. :?:
  23. David
    Everytime they say Frank Gore, I think 'Franceur'..

    I disagree, but I guess we'll find out. I'm not sure about Lovie. But I'm almost positive that the offensive coaches know who the better QB is and want him in there. TOUCHDOWN BEARS!
