That has to be reversed.

3rd and 14 vs the Bears is like 3rd and 2 vs a good defense.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 01:05 PM) Alright defense, you got a little breather. Let's try to get a stop and hopefully the refs don't overlook anything obvious this time I went back on my DVR and while it looked like he was over on the pass to Gronk, the reality is he wasn't.

That was a good play by Cutler.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) Going three and out after a 17 play drive is a great way to make your defense look awful Yeah, they don't need help looking awful.

Last week the QB was 15 for 15. Brady is 10 for 11 because of a drop.

The Bears cannot handle Gronk.

The Bears do have about 30 yards of offense.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Why are so many third down routes in this offense short of the marker I am also an Iowa fan, and they have the same issue. Whatever they need for the first down, subtract 2 or 3 and that will be the lenght of the pass.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 12:17 PM) And here comes the Fox technical difficulties. Maybe they were trying to do us a favor.

I think it is time Phil Emery gets looked at. This defense is pathetic. And his line that Cutler was elite because of his winning percentage......Rex Grossman has the same career winning percentage.

Williams is horrible.

Stafford with a Lions record 118th TD pass. Manning has 114 in 2 years and 7 games with Denver.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 08:30 AM) Would you guys be interested in Cespedes if he can sign an extension? Olney tweeted that he thinks they'll trade him now because he switched agents. Again, I know he's not a lefty bat, but its something to consider because I think I'd sign Adam LaRoche to a 2 year deal too. How much better than Viciedo can you really expect Cespedes to be, at least offensively? Is that worth the eight figures a year?

Didn't Sparty once put a spike in ND's field?

I received a season ticketholder extension package today. My invoice is for the same price as last season, however, the chart shows a significant increase, probably for new accounts. I think it means they plan on spending money and being good.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) If Maddon is the new manager, we can also bring back Adam Dunn and bat him lead off. If Maddon was the manager, you could have Matt Davidson leading off and it is World Serie time.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 09:37 AM) Ah yes. The typical DA cherry picking. We're going to ignore the years which he had Crawford, Upton, Fuld, Jennings, Longoria (the latter pre injuries) Zobrist, Damon etc. When they were swiping bases left and right? He had the personal and the health of his players over the years and was well regarded as an aggressive manager. I was exaggerating the number for Micah obviously but I could still see him in the Podsednik range if he actually hits/gets on base. You are saying a rookie will steal 100+ bases in one season if a certain guy is managing, and I am the one cherry picking? You think Maddon is the onky manager whi swipes bases with a fast team? What about Ned Yost? The White Sox run the guys who can run. What is so unique about Joe Maddon that would make a rookie steal 100 bases in a season for him and not anyone else? Carl Crawford ran just as much under Lou Piniella. As I stated personnel matters.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 11:29 PM) Is it time to start asking the question yet? Worst World Series champion, 2006 Cardinals or 2014 Royals? The 1987 Twins weren't exactly a juggernaut. Team ERA 4.63. They also had few postseason games to win. To me, they are the all time worst.

A year from know, we will probably forget Moises Sierra exists.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 10:15 PM) If Mc Ewing gets the Rays job, bring one of those guys here to be bench coach. Why? What makes them better than Parent?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 11:42 PM) Would be nice to have a team who is aggressive on the base paths. Hell Micah would probably steal 100+ under Maddon if he's the starter. With that said I think he'll be a Cub if anything. Supposedly there's rumors about him saying he can help bring them a title by 2017. (although I doubt it's true) I don't know how you come up with these assumptions. Personnel matters. Maddon attempted 90 steals total in 2014, now if he was managing, Johnson would have over 100 steals himself? In a way, I kind of feel sorry for Maddon. He will never be able to live up to his hype unless he goes to a team already able to dominate.

One thing I didn't know was Maddon lives in LA. Of course you could live in LA but still not want to commute to Dodgers Stadium.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 05:40 PM) Because Maddon has had multiple playoff teams and a world series appearance, with an organization light on spending. That is why. Williams hired 2 house horses as manager. Doesn't seem like anything Williams would do. And Williams has a ring and a trophy. Maddon has neither. Players matter. If Maddon goes to a team with a bad roster his genius will be erased. It has happened so many times, yet continues to be ignored.

Dodgers say they have a manager. Mets say they have a manager. Crickets from Wrigley. I am pretty sure David Kaplan would make porn with Maddon.
