We Got The Whole 9

Lauri was a good pick. They also suck at developing players.

It feels as if he heard the skepticism around him and tried to prove that he could succeed with a different approach.

Deferred over 30 years

Ohtani's 50/50 ball fetches 4.4M at auction. Not bad for a trip to the ballpark.

It's not ok, there's just not a damn thing any of us can do about it, so getting hung up on it is pointless. We move along and discuss probable scenarios.

I tore my ACL and meniscus and it was not the worst pain I have ever experienced. The initial pain subsides pretty quickly all things considered, that's why you see players walk it off and just look mentally anguished on the sidelines.

There's a pretty good chance the Bears are 7-2 heading into the divisional battles

Caleb could have run to the right sideline and gotten 10 more easy FWIW

Jared Goff was working on another perfect game but it ended at 16/16. Ended the drive with another TD pass though. The Lions are putting up a lot of points vs MIN.

Bieber and Flaherty seem like much more realistic options. Hoyer is not going to sign a QO FA SP, I can almost guarantee it.

Holy horsefeathers Cutler was officially charged with failure to exercise due care. Amazing.

I'm so excited for the rest of the season and this bye sets them up really nicely to work out the OL issues and frankly I am hoping Caleb and DJ have been holed up together throwing bomb after bomb. If we can get deep ball consistency out of Caleb it's gonna be a really special offense. They need to get on the same page (and DJ has to get more comfortable in the offense as you can see he seems to be thinking too much and doesn't look as explosive when running routes) and we need to feature Odunze more. His nose should be in the book all week, no more rookie flubs and not knowing where he lines up on each play. We have a bye, WAS doesn't. They could suffer significant injury, they're at least gonna get beat up some, while our guys get to heal. That is offset by being on the road some but it feels like a nice advantage for us. We are pretty healthy as it is, especially on offense, and we're going to be in really good shape coming off the bye. Work out the OL issues and get 2023 DJ back and this team will be able to hang with any team they face. I'm predicting a win and a long win streak. Last year we almost beat the Lions twice, I believe we will hammer Darnold, and we are due to kick the horsefeathers out of the Packers. We will go at least 3-3 vs the division. The Niners will probably whip us, though. 11-6 or 12-5 at the end.

Are there actually baseball people out there that think Luke Weaver could close out a World Series?

Oh horsefeathers elite bat speed

Check back in and tell us who is better than Paredes and who is available. Right now the list is Bregman and he hasn't been Bregman for multiple years. So how do you upgrade the position? Jed did well to add a guy who can reasonably project to being much better than they've had since KB departed, at a position where there is a dearth of impact talent across the league. Granted he could have signed Chapman.

Well there's one guy there who you can argue is a star and he's available and he's above Paredes' level but he hasn't really been that guy for multiple seasons. So how else do you definitively upgrade that position? FTR I am for emptying the farm for Ramirez but I want to remain realistic.

Waiting for week 8

I'd be very surprised if they haven't been bottom 10 post-Eloy and Gleyber. That may change soon but the results have been pretty poor over that period. The biggest thing is they don't seem to have any high ceiling IFA bonafide SP. It seems like most orgs always have 1 or 2 of thse guys in the top 10.

I cannot believe I bought the wolf ticket that was AKME. Extending Vuc and now trying to extend Giddey already, they are just so divorced from reality. It would be nice if LaVine is back to the 50/40/85 guy and we could find a taker. Is Phillips interesting if he developed a 3-pointer? I don't know anything about the guy, Terry is a friggin joke. The Buzelis guy looks like a 3-year project who can't shoot right now. The PAW 😭

200 PA defined this player for a lot of fans

Russ is totally trolling him "you know the Bears ain't gettin that 4th bruh"

If only he hit that bomb to Moore. He should have had 80% with 5:0 and 300+.

Mediocre journeyman lmfao

According to a YT comment in the Chase Daniels breakdown the Bears operate with the 2nd most plays called at the LOS by their QB. It's insane how well this is working with a rookie QB.
