I think it is time to think these Bears might be for real. They have been no where near full strength all year long, and yet are 9-3.

It's impressive to hit the top 10 on a 75 million dollar deal

And yet they STILL managed to trail Cleveland by 28 games this year.

When you are a combined 122 games under .500 for 2 seasons, mediocre is a large improvement.

I mean two things can be true at the same time. Jerry Reindsdorf is embarrassingly cheap AND this is a bad contract.

Since Jerry isn’t around, I am sitting at Table 1 to punch Tony in the face.

Yep.

Wait, what? I would love to hear this story.

Depending on if the Yankees media company is within the actual Yankees corporation, that may well be true.

You had better like it, we are openminded here!

This is kind of the point. If you aren't going to win every year, something other than winning has to be a draw to your stadium. Teams all over baseball have figured this out and made it work.

Pedestrian for pedestrian.

It's odd that people don't think that maybe more transit options would help attendance, instead of worrying about parking lots.

And mostly because the bullpen is awful.

I don't know him, but I am sure this is brilliant and the finishing piece.

Certainly not this year.

Take the L and move on.

You definitely don't want to attract unwanted attention.

Dude has 2/30 left. Just cut him.

Instead of water into wine, we can do some water into Malort?

Minnesota was eliminated because Jerry offered him Chicago.

There's plenty of empty space on the Southside too.

Tucker has a brother?

They underperformed because their bullpen was terrible. That isn't probably going to change.

I don't know if I would use the term "significantly worse" when talking about a 62 win team, but it also isn't good to see them dumping dollars already.
