Stinky Stanky

Predictable and boring, it's what happens when management doesn't address the team's needs over the summer. Can't help but think that coaching has something to do with it.

Funny, but they and I thought we had a gem in the rough that was derailed by COVID. He's spent the last several years proving us wrong. In the minors now, but numbers never so bad that he was a total wreck, except with the White Sox. Someday, maybe the light will go on.

Too much obvious truth there to ignore, but it doesn't fit the party line. We do look a lot better if you compare us to the many other failures instead of the few successes.

I didn't realize that Bagent's version of English included trouble with the "TH" sounds and never using "AN" in front of nouns (a apple, a idea, etc.). Makes him sound like a real rustic. Just adds to the growing legend! Our own Lil Abner!

Won in the trenches both sides of the ball today. Is Vegas that bad up front? Kid QB can see the field, quicker feet than I thought, pocket presence OK, but not as great as I thought, arm strength indicated by Peterman throwing the hail mary to end the first half. My only question: How would Fields have done with his team controlling the line of scrimmage? Lets hold off on the beatification for a while.

I thought it hit the webbing of the glove which was flat to the ground before it hit the pocket. Eddings heard the two sounds and assumed it hit the ground.

Same difference or looks a lot like it. Sucks either way.

They did shop LaVine but must have decided to keep him. Knew what their weaknesses were and addressed none of them. Three point shooting last night was as pathetic as last year. See what a difference new blood in the FO made? Gar/Pax could have done as well.

I know it's only preseason but Coach D's skills at drawing up a last second play to free up a shooter for a three are already on display. He must have been honing them all summer.?I'd have run something for Bitim. Kid can shoot. Too bad Williams missed that layup. Different game if he made it. Williams isn't a starting PF but he has some wing talent.

Ditka polishing his Urban Tough Guy image. Gimme comfort any day, like they have in real big cities like Minny, Indy, Detroit, etc.

Easy for you to say when we're freezing our asses in December and you're in TX where a 2 inch snow paralyzes the metro area.

I suspect that the Athletic's source is this board.

Doesn’t change the fact that JR was paying 2 for 1.

It's not like arm strength is of any use to a QB, right? But I can see why they kept him. He has the look of a pro QB out there. Ceiling: Career backup or out of the league. Arena football?

Ricky and Tony say hi.

Lifetime job security.

All very true except that I recall some overthrowing receivers \n Year 1.

Big NBA fan here, not expecting much from our guys, softened my opinion on the FO cuz I'm giving them a break on Lonzo. Things might be different if he was 100%. Same as last season, still need a PG, rim protection and three point shooters to space the floor. Coach D hasn't impressed me that much either. If anyone is interested: Who would you rather have in the middle for this team, Vuc or Ayton?

That last TD throw was in exactly the right place where the defender had no chance to get at the ball. Pinpoint accuracy or luck? I'm not sure. I still have questions about his seeing the field and not showing escapability in the pocket, but this one was sort of fun. For sure he's shed any reputation as inaccurate. I'm happy for him, he's a really nice kid.

Whole lotta time spent speculating about bad football. Go read a book you guys.?

If Sheets was a legit LH power bat, he would be tolerable in the OF. But he isn't and is regressing to boot. Vaughn fuhgetaboutit.

How do Elvis's numbers compare to Tim's? Short-term solution, yes.

My old paywall hack still works. The story appears for a second or so before the paywall takes over. If in that time you're lucky enough to hit control-P, the story will show up in the print preview window and you can read it there or print it first. Only works on a desktop computer though.

It was an earlier game, I think against the Brewers at County Stadium. They beat the Giants in G 163.

Paywall protected but just from the headline I'm guessing Chris doesn't want to say what's on his mind until the last game is played and it's not looking good for Tim.
