This will no longer be the case this year. All road broadcasts on WGN and CSN (even WCIU, if I remember correctly) will be in HD. I'm pretty sure Bulls road games are already being broadcast in HD on CSN. At least, I watched one a few nights ago that was.

I couldn't disagree more. You can't take deep routes out of the play book and turn Grossman into and dinker and dunker. Grossman's biggest strength is the 15-20 yard pass. And he needs to throw the occasional deep ball as well. What they need is to do a better job blocking. I think the problem is the Bears idea of a passing game was often either throw a bomb or dump it off. They need to work on that intermediate game, but keep the deep game as a threat as well. Yea, I was scratching my head on that one too. Take out the deep routes with Grossman in? Huh?
-
I remember reading at some point that he was looking bad (as he usually does this time of year) and bouncing sliders or something like that. Also know that he was there for photo day when they mislabled his pics as Jason Marquis (IIRC).

Rays might be looking at Bonds:

The Indians would be absurdly good if they did. -
So we're still waiting on Fuku's first line drive into the OF, huh? I'm slightly worried. Slightly.
-
I believe this post is about right. That's about the same that I've heard. A lot of people seem to be confusing HGH with anabolic steroids.

I'm down.

Was he horrible, or could he have been better? I don't think he was horrible when you look at the complete year, I think he was horrible in a few stretches. Defensively, Theriot is rarely going to make hightlight plays, but he is going to make the plays he should be making. His range could be better, but he isn't a liability defensively. He's a smart player, who maximizes his abilities. Offensively, he was very streaky in 2007. It was also his first full season in MLB. His OB% was below par, but I will not be surprised to see a better year out of him. Scoring 80 runs is a respectable number in MLB, even for a first year guy on a playoff team. I don't understand all the hate. He was horrible. The Cubs had the worst SS production in the NL last year and he was largely responsible. Yet, the Cubs were VASTLY improved at SS in 2007 from 2006 - and they made the playoffs. There is a very good chance he'll be better in 08 than he was in 07. The fact that the Cubs had a bunch of garbage at SS in 2006 doesn't make the slightly less malodorous garbage at SS in 2007 look any more appetizing.
-
I'm not even sure anymore. I've heard in a couple of places now that Benson might permanently be even slower since his last injury. I was on the 'fix the line and watch everything else get better' bandwagon before, but now I'm pretty worried about RB and WR, too.
-
well, I never siad they would get Hill. I said they wanted him and Colvin and the deal stalled. Now they want 4 guys if they can't get those 2. It does matter who the O's want, they have to sign off on the deal just like the Cubs. I am just passing along info, not making any judgements. Yea, I realized you never said that. I just wanted to point it out before the overreaction train started going.
-
you'd be satisfied trading 7 players off the 40 man for 2? think about that You bet..You acquire Roberts and Fontenot and Cedeno are expendable. You acquire Crisp-where are Pie and Murton gonna play? Marshall is 5-7 starter now. Marquis has been on the market for months. Ceda and Gallagher are 3A pitchers this season anyway, because Hendry was silly and signed Lieber and Wood. so who are you going to use to fill those other 5 roster spots? According to a Orioles writer last night, the Cubs may also have to take Jay Payton in any Roberts deal. Re-signing Kerry Wood is always a mistake. His last two innings have proven he will always be a thrower and never a pitcher. Nice WHIP, though! So you add Crisp, Roberts and possibly Payton. Patterson is a possibility but I think he needs to play more in the minors. Lahey or Ascanio probably makes it as the last RH in the pen. LH relief is Eyre and either Cotts(yuck!) or Pignatiello(yuck!). Unless we acquire someone, our options are few. Hart is my first call-up. I sure wish Petrick would take a step up this year and be ready also by midyear. No thunder on the bench, unless Jake Fox matures as a hitter and I never want to see Ward in the OF. looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool @ bolded
-
Well, regardless, the O's could've asked for whatever they wanted. That doesn't mean they ever had a chance in Hell of getting Hill, and obviously, talks have progressed since then and the packages since discussed do not involve him at all.
-
Didn't you JUST say in the above quotes that every team's goal should be to make the Super Bowl? And even if you meant to win it, while that may be true, you're wrong about the 2006 season being as insignificant as the Packers 2007. The 2006 Bears were NFC Champions and played in the big game. That's not insignificant. And it's more significant than losing in the conference championship game.
-
This guy keeps coming in here at random times and posting stuff like this as though he has some form of inside info. Does anybody know who he is? I am Peoriaman! :) That is what the O's wanted. They call cedeno, Marshall, etc "spare parts". Roberts is an all-star and they want one very good major MLB player in return. That is Hill. Ok. I'm just curious. Where are you getting this from? Nobody else (besides delusional O's fans who overvalue Roberts) has seriously suggested that Rich Hill was ever potentially part of a Roberts only deal, AFAIK. I know he was mentioned in some Roberts/Bedard rumors. That aside, there's no way Hill would ever be sent in a deal for Roberts only, anyway, so it's barely worth discussing.
-
What's the deal with the draft? I know it was supposed to be set for sometime this week, but I haven't heard anything since.
-
At one point, when it looked like he couldn't reach an agreement with the Pads, it looked like Greene might be available. That's what really helped fuel Meph's Greene bandwagon.

Without even getting into the rest, why on earth do you want Crisp, and who are you trading Pie for?

If the people asking who Crane Kenney is are serious... http://www.tribune.com/about/bios/kenney.html

I didn't mind the idea of Fuku hitting 3rd, but what I really like about this is that it means Theriot would not be at the top of the lineup.
-
My position on Theriot at this point is just to hope that he can pull something like .280/.340/.380 out of his butt. It doesn't seem completely impossible, and I could live with it. Ronny is probably as good as gone, leaving us no other hope.
-
Me too but I'd love it to be a good SS instead! That's not happening. They don't see SS as a position of need at all, as absurd as that is.
-
We can only hope that the other move is for a SP like Blanton/Burnett/Harden... Not really likely, I guess. Hopefully, we pick up another (good) starter at some point this season, though.
-
I'm fairly sure that if the Cubs wanted Crisp, they'd have him already.
