  1. Took a risk not starting Burnes on short rest and it didn't pay off. Craig Counsell, always the smartest guy at the stadium.
  2. Forgot that former Packer DC Mike Pettine was now on the Bears' staff. Advisor role, I believe. Wonder if that will have any significant impact to the outcome of the game.
  3. Wasn't there talk of some of Milwaukee's own 'home-cookin' hijinks' during the 2018 & 2019 seasons? I'm seem to recall Yelich's number being absurd at home, especially his power number those two seasons (22/14 & 27/17). Then the Astros got busted at the end of 2019 and remarkably, Yelich becomes worse, like horrible.
  4. I wonder if TLR considered suggesting the runner on second base wear "blacked out" goggles or some other type of vision impairing eyewear.
  5. That's one of the benefits of being old, I legit remember when the Bears dominated this rivalry. I'm old enough to remember the Packers (Bears) in the 70s and 80s as well. Being in a household filled with Bears fans, the 80s were especially tough. The Bears absolutely dominated the Packers, although I did get to see in person one of the Packer wins at SF (pre-Favre). I don't know how some of those 1985-1989 Bears teams lost to anyone.
  6. The Packers O-line has been banged up and is mostly inexperienced. But they've played A LOT better since week one. The should have back Elgton Jenkins and hopefully Josh Meyers for the Bears. And then the should be getting Bakhtiari available the following week. What are the prospects of Eddie Goldman, Akiem Hicks and Germain Ifedi being able to suit up Sunday?
  7. Pitch framing, baseball IQ, leadership. Don't forget about the menacing looks and overall bitchy pettiness. And sweet, sweet neck tats!
  8. But, the intangibles! Want he also 0 for 2 throwing out runners stealing second? Pitch framing, baseball IQ, leadership.
  9. Jaylon Smith doesn’t need to be a star for GB. He just needs to be better than Oren Burks and Tyler Summers, an almost certainty, to improve the Packers defense.
  10. Tonight’s game for me is really a win/win. While I get the whole devil magic winning thing with the Cards, I would still find some gratification in knocking out the mighty Dodgers. That said, the Dodgers knocking them out would also be delightful. Like Jersey said, I will “love” the fact that one of these teams is one and done.
  11. Gilmore to Panthers foe a 6th. Jaylon Smith was just released by the ‘boys.
  12. Schwarbs with a big, fat DONG!! Gerrit Cole does not like "Playoffs Schwarber".
  13. Bogaerts absolutely obliterated that high FB from Cole.
  14. Thank you Cubs 2021 campaign……for finally being over.
  15. It will be delightful when either the Cardinals or Dodgers are out of the playoffs come Thursday morning.
  16. :flythew: I wonder if Happ feels like he's been sent down to Iowa given the lineup he's been playing with the last 2 months.
  17. So it would be could cool if Wick would throw strikes, maybe may the Cards put the ball in play.
  18. Happ with a BIG 2-out, 2-run DONG in the 9th gives the Cubs the lead. Can they hold on?
  19. Looks like the Friars are firing their manager. *sorry, I don't know how to insert the actual tweet
  20. Steele with a very nice outing against the Bucs' AAAA team.
  21. Despite how this season has transpired, I’m sad that this is the last week of Cubs baseball. Even with a crap roster, I still love the Cubs. And I still feel better about wins than losses. Looking forward to going back to following the MiLB teams for at least the next few years. Excited to see how some of these guys develop. May even drive up to Phoenix to see a AZ Fall League game or two.
  22. Mills was pretty solid in June, July and August. But September has been a disaster.
  23. Unearned as it is, color me shocked that Megill gives up another run(s) during an outing.
  24. Cubs tie it up, 3-3 Frank continues to hit and get on base - 2 for 2 with a BB
