Suddenly, the Hawks are only 4 points out of a playoff spot and only have to catch 3 teams.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on Trubisky but no more. He's been awful in the first round, and wasted 3 top 10 picks. The jury was out on Floyd and Trubisky until this season. The jury has now reached a verdict and both suck. I always hated the Trubisky pick but there's nothing I could do about it. He did a good job building a very good defense and finding talented skill players. His work at QB and OL leave a lot to be desired. Floyd being bad hurts too. I liked what he was doing up until this season, when it was clear that he royally fucked up with Floyd and Trubisky. That's enough to cost him his job. He shouldn't be allowed to pick another QB. I'm at the point that I've seen enough.

That team can absolutely rake, unless Donaldson and Cruz fall off of a cliff. I hate to say it, but I still think the Sox are the 3rd best team in the ALC on paper but it's close between the Sox and Indians.

Castellanos made sense before they signed EE.

Dammit.

If Crochet does well as a starter this year, he's long gone by 11. LHP with that kind of stuff don't last that long, Chris Sale notwithstanding.

I thought there was enough evidence Pace sucks already. I liked him up until this season when all of his first rounders failed to develop(Floyd) or took a major step backwards(Trubisky/Smith) I never liked Trubisky but he showed enough growth in 2018 for me to be cautiously optimistic. Then he did a faceplant this season. Trubisky needed Kyle Shanahan to be successful. He'd fit his system like a glove. Too bad they didn't get him when he was available. Everyone has a right to b**** about Trubisky/Mahomes because that's the difference between the Bears being a juggernaut and in NFL purgatory of 7 to 9 wins annually.

Not yet...there's not enough evidence. If George loves these guys.....we could get there. Pace and Nagy are fucking buffoons.

Bauer is awesome. I've always been a fan. Glad he's off the Indians so I can root for him again.

I'll take 1-15. Then they get Trevor Lawrence too. George? Awe shit...I hope to all that is holy in football we don't have a Mike Brown/Marvin Lewis situation. I might have to commit football seppuku.

Kids these days have very little allegiance to laundry like we do. They root for their favorite players, rather than any one team. Sports are much less frustrating that way. I can't blame them.

Everyone's gone after this upcoming season. 2020 is just the Nagy/Pace death march to 7-9.

As long as owners/GMs view them as personae non grata it works all the same.

Exactly. Like I said the AL is a gauntlet this year. There aren't a lot of easy wins to be had. Even Texas and the Angels are quality teams, that should hover in the 80-85 win range. I don't think anyone in the AL is winning 100 games. Also can't count the Indians out unless they trade Lindor, Clevinger or both. The Sox are lucky in that they play in the only division with 2 rebuilding teams, but so do the Twins and Indians. Nobody should be disappointed if the Sox win 85-88 games and miss the playoffs.
