hes been gm for a hell of a lot more than 17 games. He's been gm for over a year and a half. He hired a known horrible game manager as head coach and has had two full drafts and two offseason signing periods. Plus two camps. In the NFL, that is enough time for a good gm to make a team good. Not great, but good. This team is doing the same [expletive] it did 4 years ago. He's had 17 games to show results. So far the results aren't good enough but I liked his FA pickups and this is the 1st game we've seen a 1st round pick of his play. I would have rather gone for a young assistant over fox because he's old and clearly has issues but I don't think he's a disaster hire so I think that's where you and I disagree. If at the end of this year the Bears look bad still, white and Floyd show no signs of being stars, freeman and travathen don't do much to improve defense and the offense continues to struggle because they failed to replace their good RB and TE among other issues I am fine with saying pace is not good His O-Line construction has been poor to say the least. Arians said last week he was thrilled with what he had at O-Line. Bobby Massie showed today why Arians is thrilled about that.

People made a stink about how it was "just preseason" but this is the exact same team we saw in preseason. How the starters played in preseason was completely telling to how good this team could be.

I've given a lot of credit to Ryan Pace, mainly for not being Jerry Angelo/Phil Emery, but he doesn't appear to be great at his job either.

Ugh they start scoring when I'd rather them not score
-
Rushing a pitcher through the minors worked for Chris Sale so now the White Sox do it with all their pitchers. Probably has hurt Carlos Rodon more than helped.

Yeah, it's worst because last year the Cubs just got swept at home by the Phillies. plus, ya know, having a 6.5 game lead on the division This is not the same Cubs team as they were in April and May. Why is April/May what the Cubs are and June/July is considered a fluke?
-
This team needs to show some damn pride.
-
This team is just full of choking dogs
-
This team has been bad since May ended and nothing is changing. Way too talented of a team for this.
-
This team isn't very good

Cubs add Chapman for Torres, et al. imb wishes we paid more
tawfiqmp replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't really value Torres like most do, I think he could be a solid player but there's nothing that screams "star" to me. It would suck giving him up but if Chapman is the final piece to a World Series puzzle, you make that deal. -
of any TV show

Eventually this isn't bad luck and more of a bad trend. The Cubs have been bad with RISP for a few weeks now.

Choking dogs

That sounds quite excessive to me. Can MLB now punish the Cardinals before they steal anymore juicers in next year's draft?
-
Soler's injury has also forced guys like Szczur, Coghlan, etc to play way more and be exposed. As opposed to Soler playing more and being exposed? I don't think people realize how average Jorge Soler actually is. He had a 0.1 fWAR in 99 games last year and has a -0.1 fWAR so far this year. Dude is literally a replacement level player right now. The Cubs can't afford to wait and see what they might have in Soler.

7/10 - Cubs (Lackey) @ Pirates (Niese) - 12:35 WGN

0-14 in their last 14 against teams that aren't the Reds. It's been over 2 weeks since they beat a team that wasn't the Reds.
-
They had a 15 game lead 3 weeks ago.
-
This isn't a bad stretch anymore. They have the 3rd worst record in baseball in the last 30 games and have been a below .500 team in their last 60 or so. At this point, you have to wonder if the start of the season was more of a fluke than this bad stretch.
