Want Palin. I'm gonna get Palin.

They also seemed to be having a lot of fun out there. Let em play and give Forte some contract yards.

Bears postgame? What channel?

Matt Ryan is going to get killed.

Thats one hell of a play... give credit there.

Its gotta be hard to beat the Bears when Cutler is consistent and the defense is smelling blood. They look fantastic.

Hard not to get a little excited about this team watching this

If I see Charles Tillman coming in I'm just trying to get my knee to the grass asap. Guy is legit way too good at stripping the ball out.

Bears look good... Always gotta remember after halftime our running game becomes pretty effective; combine that with Cutler and the Bears will hopefully hang onto this one

I really think I remember it being worse than it really was. But I guess that's just how these things work.

Sigh

Meriweather and Harris gives us a pretty solid starting S combo. We could also do a lot worse than Major Wright off the bench.

De Aza is something else.

**Roosevelt Colvin, not Dwayne Bates. Or did they do it with Bates too? Oh, Bears. EDIT3: Now I remember it was Warrick Holdman, or at least that he was one of them who they messed up.

Balta, unless you want to give credit to Ozzie for something like Paul Konerko losing his old ST nickname (Palsy) then your argument is basically boiling down to MLB managers not really mattering at all.

I always thought batting average didn't take into account walks, or is this some new overthought statistical crock of s*** that I've been lucky enough to ignore.

Majority isn't always right dude. If you think the 2% is difficult try the 98 sometime.

Nah, its not really obvious considering prospects should be developed and not used as desperation pawns to bail out two awful contracts. In the long run the move to hold Viciedo down may actually pay off.

The team has spent an obscene amount of money on guys who aren't talented (at least not this year). Ozzie Guillen is not responsible for Adam Dunn or Alexis Rios being awful, but he is responsible for giving those investments as much of a chance to succeed as he can. As good as De Aza has been, its not like he was waiting in the wings like a Jason Heyward.

So Dayan Viciedo spent almost a full year in the minors, learned how to take pitches and now (in the tiniest sample size ever used to anoint a professional athlete) is in the bigs a more well-rounded hitter. Someone want to tell me exactly why we should've been so desperate to call him up when the minors were obviously good for his game?

Wow, Gholston must have been awful to not even make the first cut. The Chester Taylor story is just depressing, this doesn't make players want to be here.

So Pryor wanted to wear #2 and the Raiders coaching staff said no. Was J'Marcus Russell so awful that his jersey has been retired? Has it ever worked that way before?

The politics comparison was just to illustrate a point. Ozzie doesn't even have to do anything wrong anymore, whatever action he takes will be automatically regarded as the wrong move. If what he does works it's credited to luck, if it doesn't its his fault and he's left soley to blame. You cant really believe the refusal to call up Dayan Viciedo sabotaged our season, especially when our major offseason acquisition and high-potential 2B both wound up being busts.

This board, as I remember, was not all about Tyler Flowers.

GAHH MY BASEBALL TEAM IS GOING TO WIN Ozzie Guillen is to Sox fans as Barack Obama is to right-wing talk shows. If there isn't a narrative to support the venom people will just make one up.
