Only one timeout left. Once again, Lovie should be prohibited from challenging.

Illegal contact to the helmet is one of the worst new rules. I know you want to avoid concussions, but damn.

John Kuhn is very pesky.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) This game is over. Wasn't optimistic from the start, I miss Ryan Grant. Different season and still f***ing penalties and our poor special teams still hurting us. Far from it.

Devin's back, back again.

Desmond Clark..Jesus Christ

WTF Lovie? We're out of challenges now...

Ugh, I don't know if going for it here is a good idea.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) He was so obviously down. I don't even know how you could miss that. I heard a whistle, Kuhn just had another idea of his own I guess.

He was clearly down by contact on that.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 07:23 PM) All those advanced metrics are wrong. Eh, believe whatever you want I guess.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 03:22 PM) Teahen is going to be taking his spot as corner utility guy and lefty bat off of the bench next year. He'll be the next Mark Kotsay.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Ozzie didn't call a press conference.He's just too honest for some of your tastes. I like the honesty. He was in the dugout for the pregame interviews. He talks. That's Ozzie. I guess he could have or should have ripped the Cubs, but that's one job that's available. Why would he rule it out if he leaves here? s***, he could manage their forever like LaRussa in St. Looie. I think Ozzie wants that meeting with JR which he keeps mentioning and he wants his ego to be stroked and maybe he'll stay. I do also think he would love to be Florida manager. I'd say it's 50/50 what he wants. Of course he cares most about himself, family and money. Most former ballplayers who made a buck in the game do just that. So he doesn't bleed White Sox, he bleeds money and Guillen...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 09:46 AM) He's never been a good defensive player. I don't think the Cubs screwed him up. He hit pretty well with them. When they traded him, he did nothing but hit his way to Japan. I don't know how many games they have left, but don't they usually hold the foreign guys out if they can if they are about to break a Japanese player's record? All those advanced metrics say otherwise.

Matt Murton's always been a pretty good ball player. He plays good D, gets on base, has a bit of power. Thing is, the Cubs totally screwed him up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 01:07 AM) How can you guys listen to that interview and not love Ozzie? I don't get it. Ozzie can do anything and you'd love him. Just curious, what does he have to do for you to not love him?

I want the Yankees, or any other team playing the Twins to humiliate them. My hate for that team has just built up far too much over the years for me to root for them.

He's the next Joe Crede, only without as much power.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Sep 21, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) He'd still be behind CarGo, Votto, Pujols IMO. He may not be as good as those guys on offense, but he's a SS and plays a very good SS. That's a huge reason why his WAR is actually pretty close to the likes of all those 3 (and higher than CarGo's), even though he has almost 150 fewer PAs.

If Tulo keeps this up, he can actually win the MVP.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) I don't think it's possible to play better than Cutler did today. Big credit to Martz for adjusting to the first two possessions. That first TD drive was a thing of beauty, the Cowboys looked so damn lost.

Great showing today by the entire team. Obviously, there were some mistakes, but the execution was very good, unlike last Sunday.

I just can't seem to grasp how this sounds right..."His war is 3.0..." Now if you say he was worth 3 wins or 3 wins above the replacement player, that seems to give people a better understanding of what you're trying to say. I've also heard people say things like, "He's OPSing .856". That just makes it sound like that guy has some weird condition going on or is on some type of weird menstrual cycle for men.

I don't know if you can call this Ozzie's greatest managerial effort ever, at all. 2008 might have been his best, but this year has been downright awful. First off, the team underachieved in April and May, way underachieved. It doesn't matter what you blame it on, everything went wrong. Pitching sucked, hitting sucked (Jim Thome would have been nice, yeah...), and I'm sure Ozzie didn't help any of it by bunting with Gordon Beckham like he's Juan Pierre. Then, you know what happened? The law of averages came into play. We went through a easy part of the schedule, our talent started showing up, our luck began to turn, and our team confidence went through the roof. But as always, you can't play .750 baseball, nobody can. So we started to fall, now whether or not that's Ozzie fault is debatable, but you know, having Jim Thome hitting home runs as opposed to Mark Kotsay grounding out to second helps. And come September, what do you know? The team's tired, plays like s***, gives up, and falls out of contention with half the month left to go when they were within striking distance at the start of it. It's the same damn saga almost every year. When Ozzie's your manager, your team will suck late in the year, even if the rotating DH is in effect. We're like the anti-Rockies. Maybe Ozzie should ask Jim Tracy how he keeps his guys so fresh in September.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) First he disses the fans and now he s***s on Nancy Faust. Why do people love this guy so much? He's not even a good manager. lol, what Ozzie said about Nancy can be said about himself. He was once considered a pretty good manager, but now his act is getting old.
