you worry too much about minutia -
I've always had that series in my head as a turning point (and still am pissed Heyward nabbed Rizzo on that throw) I thought we'd have a shot at overtaking the Cardinals had we swept that series.

they probably mistook him for the guy in one of the disney prince costumes and have him working the park /mojo

what i wanna know is how we're looking as far as leaving st louis's visiting locker room reeking of champagne

I honestly don't see a single permutation that puts anyone else as NL Central champs if the Cubs go 7-6 and win even one game in Milwaukee. The most generous permutation for the Brewers gives the Cubs winning both in TB, all three against CIN, 2-2 vs STL, and dropping all 4 in MIL. MIL has to go 6-2 in the rest of their games to tie the Cubs in this situation. So if the Cubs win 7 of the next 13 and just 1 in Milwaukee, the Brewers can only lose 1 more game just to tie the Cubs. The odds are completely in our favor but this team has unfortunately not been massively consistent offensively. As long as we don't completely implode, it is going to be hard to blow this. they're third in the NL (1st place rockies have played one more game) in runs scored. 5th in MLB. 4th in baseball and 1st in NL in wOBA. i get that there are high scoring games and low scoring games, but that's baseball. there's 162 games, so you'll see plenty of the extremes from time to time...i doubt they are considerably less "consistent offensively" than most good offensive teams. sidenote: thought this was weird...while being 3rd in mlb and 1st in the NL in runs scored, the rockies are 27th in baseball with a wRC+ of 87 #-o

yeah, trubisky's skill set is such that he can at least somewhat alleviate or mask the problems of receivers who can't get open and what is right now a leaky offensive line (that reads like sarcasm but i actually mean it) by giving guys more time to get open and evading the rush himself. being athletic and being able to accurately throw on the run is basically a 180 from what is going on right now and that should bring some level of respectability to the passing game. that's not, by any means, to say that he won't have rookie struggles. anyway, having some level of competence in the passing game will open up the run game. there's not an offensive line/running back combo on the planet that will have success when you're as predictable as the bears are right now by having a statuesque qb who refuses to attempt a throw beyond the first down marker.

yeah if there's one thing i'm pleased about with the way this season has started, is that the scenario for a mediocre 8-8 or 7-9 surprise is just about out the window to save fox's job. even if mitch comes in and has them doing realistically well (like 6-6 or 7-5 or something) after the 0-4 start, i think that's enough to get fox canned. and if trubisky is somehow so damn good that they do substantially better than that, i won't really be bothered by having to sit through a couple years of fox before he retires.

Bears fans have a hard time poking fun at that Oh I know, I'm just surrounded by Packer fans who's excuse the last few years for why they can't get to a SB is "everyone got hurt." I know it's football and injuries happen, but it's like the Mets fans thinking it's just luck which part is but also maybe it's time to start looking at the process too that the profile of players they are taking have a predisposition to injuries and/or their training staff is doing something wrong or isn't doing something right. honestly i think it's pretty much just dumb luck maybe some org is doing better than others for reasons beyond that...who the horsefeathers knows
-
Not sure what the point is of him playing?
-
I literally laughed out loud at the pick 6. Not needing beer to get through a Bears blowout is a nice feeling. i'm watching the cubs but following this thread to hear of any glennon fun bad
-
mitch has a baseball hat on, glennon in his helmet warming up
-
so, even if we don't see him come out for the second half, do you guys think trubisky starts week 3?
-
i mean if glennon is somehow not dead
-
Your golden boy Pace thought he deserved respect and a starting job so much so that he traded up for and drafted a qb at #2 overall while glennon was at the team draft party glennon is a stop gap, they don't think he's better than trubisky. where i think they are wrong is thinking that trubisky needs this.

i'm so annoyed at the announcers carrying water for glennon right now dude is a mediocre qb who hasn't established himself as anything beyond that. there's no reason to give him any sort of benefit of the doubt. he hasn't earned respect or a starting job.
-
i'm basically rooting for a pick six for every pass mike glennon throws we get the ball at the half, plz bring in trubs
-
What the horsefeathers is this? horsefeathers off. Youre clueless Yep
-
HAHAHAHA YES IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER
-
i was just thinking about how badly he'd be hearing it if we were at home
-
for as long as glennon stays in games, i'm officially hereby footing for fun bad play from him
-
:beg: :beg: :beg: :beg:
-
i've seriously never seen a guy just stand there as pressure is coming like that :lol: :lol:

glennon is just so awful lmfao takes like 15 seconds to throw so that he's late even when he makes a good decision, has no idea how to escape pressure (not that he could even if he were aware of it)
