At this point, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this overpaid bunch of morons doesn't manage to score another freaking run until 2021. Maybe. I don't know why they are making every single freaking pitcher they face, including the ones my dead mother could get a hit off of, look like freaking...

Thanks. Every NFL website stopped updating the Bears game with 2:02 left in the first quarter. Not as bad as other games, the Baltimore-Cleveland game stopped updating four plays into the game. But still, makes me wanna find the NFL webmaster in a dark alley.

It's always been my observation that more undrafted free agents actually play in the NFL than 6th and 7th round draft picks. Certainly they are similarly successful. I think it's because, by the time you've skimmed the best 100 or so people off the top, the rest are pretty much at the same...

Expect to win a lot of 3-0 games, are you? You could have Gale Sayers and Walter Payton in the backfield, Jerry Rice as your WR1 and Ditka as your TE, and unless this O-line plays substantially better than last year, they won't score any more, gain any more yards, or do *any* better than last...

Tomorrow, after the draft is over. They're a hell of a lot more likely to find a decent player amongst the undrafted free agents than in any of these picks at 200 and above. -Doug

Exactly. But this is at best a 6-10 team if the O-line doesn't substantially improve. You can get a decent quality TE in the 5th round. There will be squat for quality offensive linemen left by then. Pace had damn well better be trying his best to trade into the 3rd round to address the...

At least Pace didn't draft two edge rushers who will end up on the practice squad. But with as deep a tight end draft as this is, and with as bad of an O-line as we've had, it's just criminal to add literally a tenth TE onto the roster with the first draft pick you have. And to be playing...

I swear, having five picks left but all in the 5th round or later is like having no picks left. We'll be as likely to find a superstar amongst our college undrafted free agent signings as we will in any of these remaining picks. And since, by ignoring the O-line, which has in no way been...

Most of the Cubs' 2016 post-season games are available on YouTube. Full games in HD. I dunno about y'all, but second only to game 7 of the '16 World Series was Game 5 at Wrigley, with the Montero grand slam. Many of their camera positions suddenly became useless, because the stadium was...

Maybe we need to start looking not at an over/under on number of wins, but on win percentage. Because 85 wins means a way different thing in a 120-game season than in a 162-game season... sigh... -New Doug

I was lucky, went on a Costco run about a month ago, so I am stocked up on paper products for quite a while. I'm glad to see that toilet paper and hand sanitizer seem to be the only things that have sold out to where it's hard to find any. I can still buy bread and milk at my close-by...

I always assume ignorance. Because, as the saying goes, ye can fix ignorant, but ye canna fix stupid... ;) -New Doug

Yep. Thought this would happen. -New Doug

It's only a couple of weeks until the start of the season. The NBA has suspended their season over coronavirus concerns. Anyone want to give me odds that MLB starts on time? -New Doug

Over -- 89 to 93 and NL Central title. Not saying anything beyond October 1, though. -New Doug

And just to add, no, I wouldn't just sit Heyward's ass. Even with a 26th man this year, what is worth more to you on the bench -- a guy who can go give you a defensive upgrade in late innings, or a guy who can come in to pinch-hit with men on base? I'd rather have both Happ and Almora on the...

I think the answer is Jason Heyward. The reason is that I think Souza might come out of the gate looking like God at the plate. If you're going to play a defensive whiz who isn't hitting as well as Souza in center, then the start goes to JayHey. After a couple of plate appearances, or when...

I read an interview with Javy over the off-season where he talked about his lack of patience at the plate. He said something like well, that's the one area everyone always tells him he needs to work on in order to up his game, so maybe it's time to bite the bullet and start working on being...

Good point. I bet we see average scoring go up and game length go longer because the LOOGYs that are still considered effective relievers will end up getting their brains beaten in when they have to face a few righties. This new rule just means that not only will that LOOGY get lifted after...

One inning, one hit, no runs, Ks or walks, it looks like. -New Doug
