    Our run differential is going to match last year's in like 3 more games at this rate... :)
  2. David
    Plus there's the very real possibility (actually, likelihood) that Hendry knows a lot more about Woody's shoulder than we do. It might've been an even bigger risk than we think. It's fun winning by a lot of runs so we can argue about stupid crap.
  3. David
    Can people set aside the player-crushes and look at this realistically for a second? Realistically it's ridiculous to pretend not offering arbitration was a good idea. If he accepts, we have a good reliever. If he doesn't, we get 2 draft picks. The downside is where? A good reliever with an injury history as long as the Bible... Not to mention the the fact that it's just a bad appropriation of resources to pay a closer 8-10 million dollars.

    Have they actually used important people in these two blowout games? You would hope not...
  5. David
    And that's the same Kerry Wood love bias that was in everyone's brains last fall. I love him, but a relief pitcher with his injury history and risk (the miraculous recovery in 07) isn't a good investment.
  6. David
    You absolutely no clue how much Wood would have made if he accepted, do you? This. He was looking for and got a multi year deal. Why are people assuming he would accept arbitration? Given the market conditions and his apparent love for the team it was a pretty real risk.

    Barrett is another example of a great value that Hendry got.

    Remember when almost everyone except me thought that cutting ties with Wood and not offering him arbitration and acquiring Gregg to replace Marmol in the setup role as Marmol (inevitably) closed was a terrible idea? I do. You thought not offering arbitration to Wood was a good idea? And you are bragging about it? Considering the lack of attention he got in the market and the risk that he would accept it to stick around and get a pretty nice chunk of salary, I had no problem with it. Having Kerry Wood back at the salary he would've gotten would have been a bad thing.

    Why not? He's an idiot. And he does it all the time. He doesn't need a freaking LH reliever yet we all know that when he gets his mind set on something he will get it and overpay for it. How many times has he overpayed in terms of prospects in trades? 2 or 3? Gregg (Ceda has been hurt all season and Gregg has been pretty good) Wuertz (completely indefensible) Pierre (Even that got us Donaldson who was the second piece in the Harden trade, but I won't try to justify this trade) His entire MO is to overpay for everything. I will worry about him overpaying every time he talks to another team. It's what he does. He didn't overpay for Lee, Ramirez, Harden, DeRosa (in dollars), Lilly, etc. But I'm no big fan of Jim Hendry.

    Hendry crap is the Astros? lol

    GAMEBOARD!

    Here. Any day of the week. Yeah. It always should be applauded when a crappy pitcher gives back 2 runs after we scored 4. What the hell is wrong with you people?? I didn't realize not freaking the hell out = applauding.
  15. David
    I think we managed to do that a few times yesterday... :confused:

    Jeff Dickerson was just on ESPN1000 and said that he spoke to two Bears offensive players yesterday and they said that they knew of no altercation between them on the practice field. Guys that were on the field at the same time.

    This is a joke... this "story" is never going to go away...
  20. David
    Hub said that he knew nothing beyond the fact that they had a verbal argument at one point or another. It was Terry who reported his source saying that they had a confrontation in which Urlacher to be physically restrained at some point.
  21. David
    You're right....the star linebacker calling the new star quarterback names is much more likely than a talk radio personality making up a story that gets someone on a message board to say "hey, listen to the score if you want the scoop". Especially because somehow, they're the only media outlet that has this scoop... Except this story didn't originate from the Score. It originated from Bobby Wade's mouth. Sure, the Score has their own story on top of this, and to be quite honest, the idea that Cutler and Urlacher had a spat does not seem all that unlikely to me. This wouldn't be the first time (especially recently) that we've heard of players having issues with each other on this team. Urlacher has a history of being a douche and a jerk. Why this seems so unlikely to you is beyond me. *shrug*
  22. David
    If anyone wants to recall more evidence of Urlacher's doucheyness, Google "bas rutten urlacher."

    It wasn't Morrissey. I know his deformed face and whiny voice. This was a younger guy, and I think it was Teddy. Then there was some old bald dude who I've only seen on that show who basically agreed with him. They were talking about high hopes for the Bears and basically kept repeating, "I don't see it. I don't see it." ah... then there's a decent chance it was Greenstein... or KC Johnson? Greenstein usually has a neater appearance than KC. Either way, they're all morons. Was the old bald dude Sam Smith? Sam Smith is the basketball guy right? It wasn't him. The guy reminds me of some has been standup comedian or something like that. I think they describe him as a radio personality. Anyway, I don't think it was KC because KC has that really awkward tall guy who hasn't quite figured out how to use his body or his voice yet. I'm pretty sure it was just offseason Teddy not shaving until he returns to the college football beat. Yea, you're probably right on that it was Teddy, then. Sam Smith is the basketball guy.... Can't really think of who else the bald guy might be, though. The second part of your description makes me want to think it's David Schuster, but he's not really bald... I guess his hair is thinning a bit. http://imgsrv.670thescore.com/image/DbLiteGraphic/200901/3546168.jpg i give up

    It was mostly about the fact that Duke produces a lot more douchebags than smart people. They suck in the sports I pay attention to. sometimes the two traits go hand in hand... i'd definitely consider bernstein both i love when he's douchey to meatball fans though
