Nobody seems enthusiastic about it, it’s been a rumor so it’s been discussed what would be an acceptable return but nobody seems to be saying it should and needs to be done. How do you know it will be underwhelming? There is enthusiasm for it in other corners of the internet. And I don’t know that it will be underwhelming, but I’m personally not excited about trading him for lottery tickets. would you stop updating us on what's going on at the cubs den and bcb comment sections

i had some sweet sweet buffalo joe's wings as i watched that game

we beat Favre up alot at the end of his career, in fact we pretty much ended his career via Wooten Wasn't that when he was a Viking? Think it was an outdoor game, winter, cold, snow. yes... played at university of minnesota's field that was basically frozen solid and had been shut down for the season. after the metrodome roof collapsed.

it's easy to forget that the bears owned favre for his last few years. especially while he was with green bay. i can only hope we get to have the same satisfaction/slaying of demons of beating up on rodgers's carcass for a few years. we beat Favre up alot at the end of his career, in fact we pretty much ended his career via Wooten yeah that's what i said lol

yes https://www.footballdb.com/games/boxscore.html?gid=2004091907 Holy crap, how did I not realize that the Bears somehow won at Lambeau 4 years in a row? (2004-2007) Since then they've won in 2013 and 2015 it's easy to forget that the bears owned favre for his last few years. especially while he was with green bay. i can only hope we get to have the same satisfaction/slaying of demons of beating up on rodgers's carcass for a few years.

yes https://www.footballdb.com/games/boxscore.html?gid=2004091907 Holy crap, how did I not realize that the Bears somehow won at Lambeau 4 years in a row? (2004-2007) Since then they've won in 2013 and 2015 i remember the 2004 win, i remember the christmas win in 2005, and i remember the 06 win in week 1. now that you mention it (without looking it up) i'm thinking griese won in 07. i stopped watching when they benched rex for griese. horsefeathers that guy.

Was it 04 when a Rex Grossman led Terry Shea offense won in Lambeau and Mike Brown ran back a TD? The rest of that season might be my worst ever as a Bears fan.
-
You're thinking of 06, which was a much better year than 08. Correct, Rex Grossman had a good game. And the legend of Devin Hester was born. And a bunch of people got free furniture. It was a good Sunday.
-
Didn't they beat them in '85 and opened '08 by shutting them out? You're thinking of 06, which was a much better year than 08.
-
The way they are hitting their stride, injuries and all, makes those dumb losses (like OAK & LAC) exponentially more frustrating. Don't run into that punter and make the kick and you're 9-4 right now with a lot of possibilities.

The 6-7 Cowboys have a 70% chance of making the playoffs The 7-6 Bears have a 3% chance of making the playoffs :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: 7.5% to be exact. We are out of miracle territory and into "non-zero" https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/playoffodds

White hands, white laces. I'm just saying. lmaoooo

Catchers with Grandal and Contreras' workload receive ~8000 pitches a year. Even if we throw out 90% of pitches as unimpacted by framing and say that the difference between the best and worst in that remainder is like 20%, that's still ~160 calls a year one is getting that the other isn't. Is it really so hard to think at the extreme ends of the spectrum(and when we talk about Grandal v. Contreras that's what we're talking about) that magnitude can add up to multiple wins? If you want to quibble with the exact degree that Contreras or any alternative is good/bad that's fine(that's what message boards are for!), but scoffing that the very idea that the Cubs could be better off without Contreras is closer to an uncritical rejection of framing as a potential source of value. Pretty much this. I'm as skeptical as anyone about what the actual impact of framing pans out to be, barring extremes. But these are the extremes and I definitely think there's a significant and tangible difference. That said, with the Grandal option off the table, I think I'm fine taking the trade off with Contreras and keeping him. Depends on the return, obviously, but if it isn't good, I'm not about shipping him off just for something decent in the name of getting a good framer in there.

oh we're gonna do this?
-
Nothing would be a miracle in 4 games. And that's without taking into account a very good defense seeing the return of Akiem Hicks next week. Good defenses muck things up and keep games close that maybe don't look like they should be. Do I think it's gonna happen? Probably not would be an understatement. But it'd be far from a miracle. On the other hand, that along with the other dominoes falling for them to get in is pretty close to necessitating the assistance of a higher being.

Did you read my post? He doesn't read any posts This is either the absolute height of irony, or the ultimate case of takes one to know one

Reminds me of the Billy Beane/Lenny Dykstra conversation reported in Moneyball.
-
Damn, I totally missed this last night. Was traveling. Is this less or more crazy than that one TMac game a million years ago?
-
His stats show he hits better and with more power at Petco. Home - .245/.313/.400/.713 Away - .251/.290/.388/.678 in 2019, margot had a wRC+ of 69 at home (nice) and 95 on the road, FWIW. wOBA of .270 at home vs .319 on road. his walk rate at home was almost double his road walk rate though, which is weird.
-
They didn't. Kaepernick ditched the NFL workout for that reason and did his own at a high school field. That's why there was so little attendance.
-
looks like the bears attended kaepernick's workout after all
-
Not for football. Also which suburb has corn still? Yeah that kinda sounds ideal for football.
