  1. I made that comment not even really thinking about the on-field product. I survived the 90s Bears, which, as been alluded to here already, featured far more incompetent teams. Rather it's the fact that nobody wants to [expletive] play here, which should never happen with a big-market, historic franchise. The mishandling of players - running them out of town, the mind-boggling stupidity of the casual fanbase with the neverending Cutler crusade, relentlessly killing the one guy who always shows up to camp in shape, goes about his business, has his [expletive] together, and plays decently enough. Still, with all that said, I could never actually bail. It's just sometimes I have this utopian fantasy where Jay gets traded to a team with some pieces in place like Houston or the Rams, wins a Super Bowl, and I have the most glorious Bears bonfire ever as retribution. And I feel absolutely disgusting for feeling that way, believe me. Is this an actual narrative? I don't recall us having any trouble getting free agents to sign here or anything along those lines. And I'd imagine it's one of the more desirable cities to play in in the league among most players.
  2. Since I haven't seen anything about a serious illness, I just assumed heart attack.
  3. If there were real concern about Rondon, he would've been DL'ed retroactively yesterday to make room for Hammel instead of sending down Grimm. Bosio reiterated this morning that it was nothing big, but with the lack of opportunities to use guys as it stands, they figured they'd give him the extra rest so that it doesn't become a lingering issue.
  4. The generic/bootleg Cubs stuff at Jewel always cracks me up, but this is just next level [tweet] [/tweet]
  5. i think it sounds gross too, tbh but i think it's usually implied that a sandwich with ham or whatever cold cut is cold so they specify that it's hot
  6. Remind me never to respond to a Bears tweet again. I make one comment to a beat guy about Fuller having put things together toward the end of the year last year and my mentions get flooded with hot takes.
  7. Gotta party hard, bro. :stickman: i mean it seemed like we did like 3 within 14 days last year so nothing would really shock me
  8. serious question, will we do champagne celebration twice (wild card and division) or just once? does anyone recall how other teams have done it lately?
  9. Maddon said today that they didn't use him Sunday because just warmed up hard two days in a row. If there were something wrong with him, why wouldn't they have just DLed him instead of sending Grimm down?
  10. I hate when they do this creepy horsefeathers
  11. [tweet] [/tweet]
  12. this is fun so is jorge massacring baseballs again
  13. yayyyy it's starting to look like it was supposed to
  14. about why he didn't use him sunday? said he had warmed up hard two days in a row and didn't consider him available.
  15. lackey has been making some hard contact lately, jeez
  16. 2 outs with a runner on 1st needs so much to go right that you might as well try to force the issue i guess
  17. one run or two is not going to cost us a game against weaver
  18. nah it was january i knew that wasn't one of his first first moves...had already done dejesus and the marshall trade for wood, sappelt, and torreyes. colvin and lemahieu (sp?) for stewart too
