You wouldn't think so, but if anyone could do it, it's JR.

Not the bird "Cardinal" but the Catholic "Cardinal".

If the Bears move to Bridgeport maybe they will rename themselves as the Chicago Cardinals.

Could it be any worse?

Per the Sun-Times: Bridgeport Bears? Chicago firm releases plans for glitzy new domed stadium at Sox park site This is a little silly, but I thought it’d be worth sharing. Kinda cool to see a professional visualization for an unofficial (and far-fetched) concept.

Indeed. I’ve been of the belief that an environmental study will be conducted and the community will have some level of input since the start of this. Nothing surprising, but still nice to see we’ve finally made it to this point.

So it’s not a mental health thing, he just had major issues with rage, ego and a negative personality. Glad you cleared that up.

Sarcasm goes right over your head, doesn’t it?

Send Jerry a letter!!!

Perhaps this is a suggestion Thorpe could thrive with.

With the continuing decrease in starters inning there is of course more innings to be covered by the pen. With a limitation on the number of pitchers, there really should be a role for a glue guy. Glue guy defined as (another old term) a rubber arm who can give you a couple of innings multiple days in a row. With max effort guys that is very hard to do. Richards kind of did that. Unreal what a Mike Marshall (106 games 208 ip or 90 games 142 ip at 36yo) or a Wilbur Wood would be worth to a team. Ok since both have passed away not worth much but someone pitching like them. With everything focusing on velocity, could movement etc make a comeback?

Thanks. Looking at the data. We are good at not swinging outside the zone. Swing at a lot in zone. However our contact rates on those are around 28-29 out of 30 teams. The sell out for power? Scewed by a few?

Did Dan know his children were adults when making that threat? I doubt it and he doesn't deserve the benefit of said doubt.

Yeah you could see it before the season started when he pitched in the prospect game last spring. Everyone was wild that game, but Oppor wasn’t throwing anything near the zone.

I love how Schriffen so emphatically praised Pham yet Pham is the same guy that threw his clown ass out of the locker room. 🤣

I'd love for John Schriffen to commentate my drunken bar fight.

TOMMY PHAM BARKING BACK, HE'S NOT BACKING DOWN, HE DOESN'T LIKE THAT. WE AIN'T TAKING THAT, I DON'T CARE HOW MANY L'S WE GOT THIS YEAR WE AIN'T TAKIN THAT

Threatened someone's family member who was a completely uninvolved party in the situation. He’s a total loser.

Seems like the yips basically. Can't throw strikes or command anything.

Cool? Don't need to rehash and I definitely don't want to change anyone's mind but he didn't go after kids. He made a comment about getting that poster's kids involved but that guy's kids are all adults. It was stupid and he deserves to be fired but it's not true that he was threatening children.

Lost all respect for him after the Patrick Kane situation. He would berate to no end anyone that even insinuated that the girl could be making the story up or overembellishing. Once it turned out to be a complete farce he never once apologized. Then there were the instances with Aiyana Cristal and eventually the kid he was going after on Twitter that ultimately got him canned from the score. He just seems like a miserable guy in general that masquerades as a holier than thou person.

Very versatile, can do tennis basketball Little League WS etc. A bit more by the book than Benetti, who has his distinctive corny dad jokes style. Pretty sure he's too professional to lock into a good ol boys network team.

It's sad you can replace the name Oppor with 3 other highly regarded names who took a step back as starters in the minors from 2025 to 2026 and it would fit.
