QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) I have a sneaking suspicion that Bushrod will be out for the year or a very extended period of time. I hope you are wrong.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 02:37 PM) How the hell did Gonzalez name get brought up? Writers are just like politicians. They spew nonsense in their own words to get the followers to, well, follow along. They all regurgitate the same crap, just in their own words and opinions. IMO, having a favorite sports writer is like having a favorite politician, pointless. Anyhoo. Anyone have scouting on Tomas? I'm not a member of baseball america. All I know is he is 23, RH, has power and not as good as Abreu. He didnt, I brought it up, he is a beat writer who was actually good at his job, and didnt throw a bunch of s*** at the wall to see what stuck. Kind of the anti levine

I feel like recently the bears have started playing the Injury report game.

I thought they were eventually looking at Long moving to LT

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) You completely missed the point... No, I got it. I just think you should be wishing for Gonzalez to come back

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) Once again, Levine regurgitating what's already known and been written about. Good grief that idiot needs to go away! Any chance we can combine Levine with Danks in a trade? Reading Levine's crap just makes me miss Mariotti, and I can't stand Mariotti! Mariotti and Levine dont have comparable jobs at all. Levine is a beat reporter, Mariotti is a columnist/opinion spewer. they dont do anything similar at all, except write for a newspaper. Well, they used to both write for a newspaper.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) I don't think it was luck, it took some skill to make those picks, especially the first two, but if the argument is "well the Bears did it against Kap, so they can do it against Cam," you have to factor into that mistakes and poor decisions. If Cam plays well and makes good decisions, the same defense is going to get shredded (see: last week). but if the reasoning for your argument is "pray for unforced turnovers" then you have to acknowlege that the turnovers werent unforced, and actually were the result of good play.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) It'd be awesome if Heyman could get full creative control at one of these companies, just don't let him run the business part. he would be a great GM again. I wish WWE would have the balls to put him up against Bischoff in Smackdown and RAW as GMs

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 12:57 PM) Here's a decent recap of those picks with gifs. I agree the fumble isn't really his fault, but 2 of the 3 interceptions, if not all 3,were his fault,http://www.ninersnation.com/2014/9/17/6252...rom-49ers-bears 1st pick is a great catch by Conte, but it's not a good throw and he telegraphed where he was going from the start of the play. No real need for him to do that. 2nd pick was a good "steal" by Fuller, but the pass was terrible. Way behind Crabtree. 3rd pick was just not a good decision, throwing while running, and he waited too long to throw it. Basically right at Fuller. You seriously do anything to discredit defense. you did the same thing with Lovie, you attribute it all to luck or the other team being bad

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) Fuller's picks were just great plays, not unforced errors by Kap. So was the fumble, Jared Allen put his helmet right on the ball

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 12:10 PM) Is John Danks just disappearing? That would be ideal

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 11:58 AM) So the game plan should be just pray that Cam has 4 TO's, mostly unforced? huh, here i was thinking that the Bears forced those turnovers. I didnt realize Kaep hiked the ball and walked to a defender and gave it to them

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 10:59 AM) I didn't say a good quarterback. I said a quarterback. If the other team lines up a quarterback under center, the Bears D is in trouble. Kaepernick is very similar to Newton in style, and the Bears played him pretty well

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 09:50 AM) The truth is most likely somewhere in the middle. Bryant can't "be on board" with the Cubs plan of not calling him up, so the CUBS can save some money and service time. But his agent is Scott Boras. He will not hold it against them. If he is as great as projected, the Cubs offer him the most money when he becomes a free agent, he will re-sign. But 6 years is a long time. Maybe he is gone by then. Maybe he sucks. Maybe Theo is gone. But logically, there is no way he is happy about not getting called up, being screwed over, just because the team can. It makes sense for the Cubs, for sure. I don't blame them. But Bryant is getting a raw deal. I agree, this is kind of what i was saying in my previous post. No matter what though, 6 years from now if Bryant is the real deal, Boras is going to be pointing at his numbers and saying "Pay us this" and saying the exact same thing to the high bidders like the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers. If the Cubs dont pony up and he ends up somewhere else, it wont be because he wasnt called up in 2014.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 09:26 AM) Haha Bernstein actually had the balls to try and call someone else on their source? That's rich. Oh yea, when he first accused Wittenmeyer of making up something out of whole cloth, he also mentioned that he was using anonymous quotes and that he should attribute them

I found it funny that Bernstein railed on Wittenmeyer trusting his source, but constantly quotes "My guy". If he wants to force Wittenmeyer to reveal his source to verify the quotes, then he should do the same thing. I dont know that Bryant will be using this past year as a reason for not re-signing with the cubs 6 years from now, but it is totally plausible that he would be pissed at not being called up this season after the season he had in the minors and end up angry at the Cubs for not calling him up.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 08:59 AM) Isn't it Joe Morgan that still thinks the book was written by Billy Beane? haha Joe Morgans only thought is "Ryne Sandberg is not better than me"

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 08:52 AM) Wait Billy Beane didn't write Moneyball? Brad Pitt did. I mean Jonah Hill. Somebody wrote it. Somebody not named Kenny Williams

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 08:17 AM) I think you completely misread what I was trying to say. Given the size of the Sox payroll compared to their division mates, they should have made more than 2 playoff appearances during the KW era. His teams often underacheived. Because of what happened in 2005, all that will be forgotten and he will forever be a WS champion GM. On the contrary, given what Billy Beane has had to work with, the amount of times he has made the playoffs is very impressive. However, nobody seems to care anymore, they only remember his teams' struggles in October. heck, the Braves organization gets a ton of crap for only winning one world series when they made the playoffs like 18 years in a row. Thats crazy

The Giants are just imposing their will on the Pirates

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 1, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) Sounds like an awful TV show. But I like Wilfred

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 1, 2014 -> 01:57 PM) Post of the century! Nobody can explain how some hitting/pitching coaches in sports are seen as buffoons and have to be replaced and others are seen as Sabermetric gods. I forgot. What has made Steverson the anti-Walker? Why do we love him again? Great post, Dick Allen! You exposed a big-time cliche. Steverson is just another guy. Players win games. except for Ozzie. Because Ozzie wins games, not the players

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 1, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) He lost 15 pounds that quickly? Damn. yea, that is sitting on the toilet holding a trashcan in your lap weightloss.
