Sorry, but I think this deserves its own thread. Top of the 5th. Pham was taking a huge lead as people do against Lester. Lester apparently finally had enough and he overhand tossed the ball to Rizz and picked Pham off easily! I imagine this will make a lot of teams think twice about...

Anyone else growing a playoff beard? I know it's traditionally a hockey thing, but I've seen mention of it elsewhere for the Cubs' run. I'm going to do it. I usually trim the facial hair to about 1/8" every week then let it grow for the week. I haven't trimmed it in a week, and I'm...

From Twitter: Charles Tillman ‏@peanuttillman 9m9 minutes ago Bear fans, I just found out some great news that will benefit us all about me staying in Chicago. @RapSheet doesn't even have this news.

When was the last time in this season where you really felt into it – really felt good about our chances and where things were at? I’ll tell you the exact moment for me. It was 1st quarter in the first GB game. Cutler had just driven down the field and was knocking on the door to score. They...
