  1. Twins won the AL Central in 2010 You're right, my bad. 20 of 28 In: BAL NYY TBR DET KCR CLE MIN LAA OAK TEX WSN ATL PHI STL PIT CIN MIL LAD SFG ARI Not in: TOR CHW SEA HOU NYM MIA SDP COL
  2. Of the 28 teams never run by Theo Epstein, 19 of them have now made the playoffs since the last time Epstein did.
  3. I can't wait to find out which team built their roster exactly the way the Cubs are doing now, which is what will be said about whoever wins.
  4. Avoiding 90 losses makes me happy. If I'm adding it up right, the Cubs draft 9th. I'm glad we screwed up our position and all those "no point in winning 73 games might as well pick at the top" dorks have to about-face and be happy about this. Holy crap Javy. 229 PAs of 41.5% K-rate. Young or not, it's hard to put into perspective how terrible that is. I would honestly be slightly surprised if he makes it through a full MLB season next year. Jorge Soler isn't likely as good as his .339 BABIP made him look, but Alcantara isn't as bad as his .261 made him appear. I'm looking forward to both being useful players next year. Holy crap we have so many resources going into the offseason. Few gaping holes, tons of open payroll space, more prospects than we can usefully hope to use. I'm not promising it will be good, but we have more potentially useful MLB pitching than we've had in a long time. I don't remotely trust the front office to do what it takes to make the team a full-blown contender next year. I suspect they'd rather win 82 games with a $70m payroll and glory in their amazing efficiency and "keeping their powder dry" than actually take some risks and invest some resources on an 89-team that may or may not work out. Like Rizzo, this should be a situation where it works out pretty well for us, but it's funny to me that our first huge contract (give or take a jxn) is going to be getting Theo's band back together and rewarding one of his buddies. Speaking of that, congratulations to Jed Hoyer for his fifth season GMing a major league team without ever putting together a playoff team.
  5. He almost killed Tuvo.
  6. Running the ball in modern NFL is basically meaningless.
  7. So the only questions left are: 8-8 and out? 9-7 and out? The exotic 10-6 but out? That's a longshot, but still doable.
  8. Combo! Bad decision *and* fluky bounce!
  9. Don't run that out you ass. What good thing are you possibly envisioning happening there?
  10. We're about due for a Cutler interception. I'll take predictions on "brainfart throw" or "not his fault when it bounces off receivers hands straight to defender."
  11. Roughing the kicker incoming. Or maybe a fake FG for a TD.
  12. I counted four holds on that replay.
  13. It's really weird how we can count on this [expletive] happening. What the [expletive]? It's the curse of my teams. The Bears are cursed. except when almost everything went their way the last two weeks Setting us up perfectly to be crushed by this loss. You gotta see the big picture.
  14. We've already failed to score once and kicked a field goal once. It's ovah.
  15. I'll just be the one to say it: Season over.
  16. Feels like we are are essentially down 11.
  17. Replay yet again proven useless and pointless.
  18. Choke on 18 different penises, ref.
  19. This is one of the worst-reffed games in recent memory. I wish they'd go back to screwing over the Packers like they were earlier.
  20. They don't have a single better camera angle? That's a #@$%#@$ touchdown you jerks.
