    i don't care. the bears overpaid him in the first place based on 2 or 3 games. he should feel lucky that he's starting, i doubt anyone would give us anything for him.

    I don't see Hester lining up at RB ever, so no. Wolfe is a third down back - he might come out to slot or something for a few plays but I can't see him taking away time from Hester. I still wonder what happens if/when Benson gets hurt....like he did as a rookie and in the Superbowl. Benson runs into people too much to make it healthy through at 350 carry season. Can Wolfe be an everydown back? I don't don't Pittman could be, who I wanted the Bears to pick instead. Still, I like Wolfe a lot. I think the Bears take something from everybody this season and we'll see a better offense. Olsen is used like Clark in Indy. Wolfe can be used like Bush in NO, although a very poor man's Bush (hehe). Hester, I'd like to see used like Steve Smith was early in Carolina. Five years later, the WR screen finally has a chance to actually work. Strangely enough, as much as the Bears needed to take pressure off of Grossman, it looks like the Bears have the personnel to actually throw the ball more than they did last year. if hester's routes are half as good as smith's and he gets consistent separation, he'll be on his way to greatness.

    if the bulls can hold serve here, you can't tell me that those cold-blooded assassins, those hired mercenaries, those heartless killers known as the pictons won't start to shrivel-up a bit in game 7.

    Good to see we both agree that determining who is a better player based on a few at bats is stupid By the way: Murton: 70 AB Floyd: 73 AB what? wait. the people who are arguing against murton are always citing his lack of production this season. the people for murton are saying that murton's been more productive than the alternatives this year. that's how i take it. Yes, and prior to his last 5 or 6 at bats, he wasn't as productive as Jones or Floyd. So it's a bit misleading to say he's been more productive this season, when, in reality, his last few at bats have skewed his season statistics. Floyd could play tomorrow, hit a homerun and a double, and we'd be having this argument again. Fact is, they've both been relatively equal this season, and I don't think Piniella's choice for Floyd over Murton in certain games has cost us much, if anything. It's not the same as playing Izturis over Theriot with all things being equal, you should always play the younger guy.

    http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1998/B07250CHN1998.htm i remember hill hitting the winning home run in the bottom of the 8th off of franco and just dropping the bat like a toothpick.

    :lol: realistically though, i don't think you could ever convince Sammy to come back. I'm pretty sure it would be the Cubs who wouldn't want Sammy back, not Sammy not wanting to come back. From what I heard (just a rumor, I have no idea if it's true or not), Sammy said he called the Cubs first when he decided to come back and they said they werent interested. Take it for what it's worth. didn't sammy say in the sunday night conversation that he wanted to play for the cubs this season? he was campaigning for a call from hendry.

    What kinds of books? Who cares, as long as they're cheap! half-price books, if you have one in your area.

    That's pretty much how everyone reacted when the TV was first introduced. They even said it was "of the devil". Of course, we all know that crazy invention is outlawed now, right? What? haha

    The guy is clearly suffering from a persecution complex, and no offense to Jeff Passen, but this is the story has been done a thousand times before with a thousand different "outcasts". On par with the journalism cliche of the "beloved scrappy underdog"is the "downtrodden outcast with revolutionary ideas if only the mainstream would just listen". Oh gag me. if they were good pitchers, they would be employed. such is the nature of the game.

    mike marshall gets flame throwers? that's news to me. truffle getting defensive and weird? that's news to me.

    in spite of what dan bernstein might say, you cannot swallow your own tongue. bashing out the guy's teeth was unnecessary. just lay the guy on his side to keep his airway open and save him a pricey dental bill. sounds like schneider, being uninformed, overreacted. When a person is having a seizure, you cannot lay them on their side. I've never heard of someone choking on their tongue, so I cannot say whether it is possible or not, but I do know it is highly unsafe and somewhat unlikely to try to turn a person having a seizure on their side. Unless they're vomiting there shouldn't be a problem keeping their airway open. Herm Schneider is a gluttonous slob. Regardless of this, Herm Schneider may or may not be a competent trainer. No, he's incompetent. During a seizure the danger is in biting the tounge do to spasmatic muscle movement. After a seizure the danger is in the tounge falling over the windpipe and preventing breathing. Sulley's right, after a seizure turn a person on their side. During a seizure try to get something in a person's mouth to keep their tounge down. gotta disagree with you here. NEVER EVER put anything in the person's mouth.

Unless they're vomiting there shouldn't be a problem keeping their airway open. actually sulleymoon is correct. look under "Persistent Myth" here: http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/aboutus/pressroom/communicating.cfm yes. but more appropriately, you can trust my opinion because dealing with seizures is part of my job. my personal training was to put the person in the recovery position, which is a safe position and also prevents choking on vomitus. you generally don't put a convulsing person in the recovery position, but if there is an imminent danger of their tongue restricting breathing, you must roll them on their side. the benefits far outway the risks in such a case. most of the time, just move stuff away from them.

    as the article clearly stated, no pitchers with what anybody would consider major-league talent have been willing to train with him. But Rudy Seanez is one. I have a feeling that his mechanics just force mediocre results. Also, to take someone with good talent and completely retool his mechanics could ruin them. maybe... there's always that risk. Of course, you could take someone with good talent, let him continue with his bad mechanics (Kerry Wood) and he'll be ruined anyway. But the article talks about guys who mostly went in throwing in the upper 70s to low 80s - not exactly top-shelf arms. I think it would be foolish to dismiss a guy just because he hasn't been able to polish a bunch of turds into gold. I'm no Dick Mills here, but wouldn't it make sense that the guys that throw harder and have a lot of movement on their breaking balls would be more succepitble to injuries than guys who aren't putting such stress on their arms? And isn't Rudy Seanez always hurt? mike marshall takes flame throwers and turns them into awkward-looking soft-tossers.

    i wish something good would happen, something excitingly positive for one of my teams. this hasn't happened since the jordan era.

    this series, i've seen the pictons miss like 4 shots.

    i turned it on when it was at 19 points. 3 minutes later, the pistons have the lead. weird things like this always happen to me. i wish the opposite happened sometimes, that would be nice, but i know, too much to ask. maybe YOU'RE the curse i hope not.
