  1. he's made his jared fogle like transition very well known But yeah, I've lost about 155 pounds over the last 18 months. Just need to ride this out until Xmas and I should be at 175 (so I'll have essentially lost an entire me, which seems bonkers) and I can start finally eating some real food again. Congrats man! I've lost 50 lbs since early June (315 lbs at that time) when I got really sick. Getting that sick plus having gout/being sore all the time cuz of my weight/laziness finally made me had enough of that crap. My target weight is 210-220 so I still got another 50ish lbs to go.
  2. I'm honestly shocked that Trevathan wasn't ejected there. I have to think NFL will suspend him and rightfully so.
  3. Seriously... if it was Cutler with the 3 giveaways tonight, they would all be saying to cut him after the game.
  4. As if tomorrow's lineup won't be: Martin CF La Stella 3B Zobrist 2B Schwarber LF Caratini 1B Rivera C Freeman SS Jay RF Watch that lineup put up 16 runs
  5. horsefeathers you all, this was an A+ cubbiebum reference and deserved some likes.
  6. https://www.yahoo.com/news/bears-officially-fun-again-183050277.html I..... don't even know where to begin.
  7. Sumlin really screwed up by not going to the NFL at the same time Manziel did. His career would've been just as bad as Manziel.
  8. I still like my Titleist 910, but it's probably time for me to upgrade there, too. I like the look of the Baffler 4-wood. I would try that one out. I've mostly subsituted my Cobra 2/3 hybrid (in 2-setting) for my 3-wood this season. I wish I could get a 1-hybrid. I got a Titleist 909 1 hybrid which I love, but in the same boat as you, it's time to upgrade. Not sure what I'm going to do as they don't make 1 hybrid anymore. I'll probably go to a strong 3 wood then a 2 utility iron in my next setup. Biittner- It's hard to make recommendations for a club because look/feel/how you hit is different for everyone. You're better off going to like a golf store (if there's one near you) and hit a bunch of 3 wood (new and older used models) to see what you like and go from there.
  9. [dir=rtl][/dir] Welp... this will be interesting. I'm supposed to go on a bus with like 50 other people that day. Quite a few ppl will not be happy that they moved the time.
  10. http://www.metsrefugees.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128452 This is incredible.
  11. Efficient guy, who doesn't turn the ball over and has won 60 of his last 85 starts.....now give him a better arm and more bulk with similar (at worst) athletic ability. I'll take it. Trubisky is much more Russell Wilson than Alex Smith. I was being sarcastic with that post as I'll take a Alex Smith. Alex Smith is underrated IMO. I mean, I still love Jay and some of his throws were just insane because of his arm, but give me a QB that is super accurate. It's going to be fun watching Trubisky. Definitely looked the part even though it's just the preseason.
  12. Only 3 throws over 15 yards? Let's get excited for the next Alex Smith guys!
  13. Moving the bullpen to under the bleacher and putting a camera in there was the right move.
  14. Fangraphs projects us as the 3rd best. Yankees: Chapman, Betances, Robertson, Kahnle, etc... Dodgers: Jansen, Baez, Fields, Dayton, etc... We have a lot of very good relievers, but Davis isn't quite on the level of a Chapman, Jansen, Miller, or Kimbrel. You can certainly make an argument that he is on that level IMO. I had a conversation with a buddy of mine 2 weekend ago who thought Davis was just merely "good" and that Cubs will miss Chapman in the playoff if they get there this year and on and on about other Cubs stuff. He's from Texas who moved up here because of the windmills in this area and is a Rangers fan. I showed him Davis's stats the past 4 years as a RP and told him how Davis is on Rivera territory when it comes to playoffs (1 ER in 27 IP as a RP iirc). He didn't say another Cubs thing the rest of the night.
  15. Gonna be funny if this doesn't go through by morning since his "source" said "will be #Cubs" which can be taken that it's a done deal. He'll be blocking everyone.
  16. It seems like Maddon has called a horsefeathers ton more hit and run this season compared the past 2 years or am I just imagining that?

  18. Meh. What does he have? Like 200 career HRs? He had a couple upper 20s and a 30+ HR season iirc.
