  1. That double looked like a Clevenger special.
  2. That baseball traveled a significant distance.
  3. I don't really have an issue with going for quantity at OL and then seeing who they can coach up and picking the best 5. It has to improve the line. If your issue is who the 4th and 5th WR are, fine, I guess. I'm not all that worried that they won't be able to find somebody to stick there. TE could use some more depth, for sure. I look at it like this: if you have multiple weapons on offense who are able to make plays, your line doesn't have to hold the defense at bay for 6 seconds per play. I guess they're looking at it as though they can just toss as many guys into the mix as possible and find 8 good ones, but even if they field an above average line, you still need playmakers. They're essentially going into 2013 with the same cast of playmakers that wasn't good enough last year. Bennett should be a pretty big upgrade over Kellen Davis. Plus having a healthy Alshon for a full season *knock on wood*.
  4. Give me a break with this nonsense. People are well within their rights to look at a draft where they reached on their 1st pick, did alright with the 2nd and 3rd and then drafted more redundancy with their 4th. It's pretty unexciting and underwhelming. They don't need 11 OL. They could use another WR for when Bennett or Jeffrey break and we trot out a pile of crap alongside a triple covered Marshall. Because I was trying to take away your right to vent? Just commenting on what I've seen in this thread since the draft started. An awful lot of teams have continued to pass on this Swopes kid that everyone is drooling over. Because NFL teams fap it over measurables during draft week and constantly overlook undersized quick guys. Honestly I don't feel like the Bears are in dire need of more weapons if the OL and playcalling is significantly improved. I wouldn't have minded seeing a WR or TE drafted to this point but I don't mind drafting more OL. Maybe the new guys can push out the older junk like Garza and Carimi.

  6. The meatballs in this thread are way too spicy for me. Gives me heartburn.
  7. That...does not make any sense. Sac bunting into a situation where you have Soriano up in need of contact doesn't make sense. The pitcher doesn't have to throw strikes and he'll swing. This teams already makes outs far too easily. Agreed.
  8. Especially since Broxton sucks. One can say "well it was Cody Ransom" but I'd counter with "well it was Jonathon fat Broxton".
  9. Focus on the nachos man. Focus on the nachos. You don't want to know.
  10. Gameday has him w/3 lineouts. I don't know the exact variety of them all. I'd say that last out was more of a routine fly than a line drive. Otherwise I think he has hit the ball hard today.
  11. I thought the runner was at 3rd base? Castro runs and gets thrown out by a mile. Seriously?
  12. You know I almost posted that Borbon should try a surprise bunt there. He put it in the right spot but bunted it way too hard.
  13. DeJesus hit it hard, just in the wrong spot.
