I might take some criticism for this, but the Bears fans should be ashamed of themselves for how they've treated Rex this year. BTW, did anyone else notice how relieved Rex seemed on the sideline?

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 09:34 PM) And who do you suggest replace Jon... Someone not even half as talented who will cost 3 Mil more? No thanks... Keep Garland or we will not contend PERIOD! I really wish this team didn't even focus on competing in 2008, and focus more on competing in 2009-2011, etc.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 09:05 PM) So...Mets...Brewers...Padres...excellent work you guys did on those upgrades you made at the deadline. Yup, boy, not picking up Contreras when he was worth basically nothing sure paid dividends for you, didn't it. I can't believe teams like the DBacks didn't try to acquire Jermaine Dye.

This was the most irritating baseball season ever, and it started with the very first batter of the year. Sadly, the squad is going to look similar next year also. The bad part is that for how annoying the season was, the next few weeks will be infinitely worse.

Calling a timeout with a minute left, down 2 scores, and with 3 timeouts left is one of the most ignorant moves I've ever seen.

He better not be back. No excuses....we don't need 3 specialists on this team.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 07:38 PM) Wow, this guy is unbelievable! Without Hester we are nothing. I'd rather Orton start over both of them. I've been saying that since Orton started that whole season. This team is going nowhere unless Rex gets his head out of his ass and starts playing well. However, I don't think he'll get that chance again.

That was an amazing return. I can't believe the Lions keep putting the ball in his hands. He's been the Bears best chance at scoring today.

Put Rex in the game, and give him the chance to win back this team. Griese is awful!

We really need to lose this game.

It's funny, but both teams should be winning this game by a lot. Griese has made some terrible passes near the end zone. I really wish we were more aggressive on that 3rd and 3, instead of running it with Peterson and settling for a FG.

If you have the Directv package or mlb.com, do yourself a favor and watch the Phils and Mets games today. The crowds are amazing in both of them.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 06:16 PM) Yup, poor decision. But the offense still looks lightyears better. Does it though? They're facing a terrible defensive team, and they still can't run the ball.

Wow, that looked like Rex.

Impressive drive by Griese and the Bears. They really need to pass more like they did on that drive, as their running backs/O line have been so mediocre.

At least with Rex in the game, you felt like they had a chance to get more than 5 yards on any given play. What a horrible, horrible play by Graham there. From getting out of his lane to the horse collar. This team f***ing sucks.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 05:16 PM) Is that a serious comment? f*** that. He has dropped tons of balls but he is the only f***ing receiver on this team capable of getting open and making a play. No way in hell can you bench Berrian. Of course it's not serious....it's just a parody of the crap we've heard about Grossman. This team just isn't very good right now. Ron Turner is becoming Greg Walker-like though.

Terrible call by the refs. Also, isn't it time to bench Berrian? He's been the worst player on the Bears this year, and it's not even close.

Yep, and when the economics don't match for any player that actually makes 10 million or more, we'll hear how they looked into it, but it wasn't a good fit.

So now Josh Fields isn't playing LF this offseason? http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

The Tribune makes it sound like the Sox want to bring Myers back for next year. This is going to be a long offseason.

Cubs will be playing the Dbacks in the first round. We need Webb to pitch well, because they have no chance to beat the Cubs if they lose with Webb on the mound.

In some ways, I want the Brewers to lose tonight. This way, the Cubs can't celebrate on the field. Unfortunately, I don't want to see the Padres win the WC, but it looks like it's going to happen.

Great decision by Yost to bring in Vargas, who's been just horrible over the last 3 months. Not a chance in hell should Yost still have a job in 2 days.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 28, 2007 -> 03:11 PM) Huh? The Cubs went to Cincinnati in 2003 for the 2nd to last series of the year with a half game lead and left tied for first with 3 games left. The reason they clinched was after a Friday rainout, they swept a doubleheader from the Pirates on that Saturday at Wrigley while the Astros choked and lost to the 6th place Brewers that Friday and Saturday (at Houston!!) to fall 2 games out and thus be eliminated going into the last day of the year. As Mike Gundy would say, "GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!" The Cubs beat the Reds 4 out of 6 times over the last 15 games of the season. That Reds lineup had Freel, Hummel, Jimenez, Casey, Pena, LaRue, and Olmedo. I remember D. Stenson being one of the most dangerous hitters on that roster at that time (he tragically died a few months later).
