I'm still waiting to see if you can kick Larry Bowa's ass.

His assault on the .230 mark has been nothing short of impressive.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Magic Joe did it with Castro last year and Heyward this year. All he has to do is sit a player and the player is reborn

Except when the Cubs lose in the NLCS, they will not be able to trade away Heyward to fix everything like they did Castro.

Player's didn't seem too thrilled about dressing as clowns after a tough series loss. All that shtick by "good" managers eventually wears thin. Also, the honorable Cubs holding down Hammel's innings to prevent his option from kicking in is sure to go over great with the "family" (players). It's just business.

Still got cooky bullets in the chamber

I was at the game yesterday. I really had a wonderful time with four of my longest time friends, one of whom had fallen away recently. Thank you Joe Maddon bringing her back to us.

Billy Joel, Cubs game, female friends, and jumping on Nas for going skydiving all in the last ~72 hours. I think you are going thru menopause, gd.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

maddon has shown he's a JEANIUS field manager.

my only question I haven't gotten any confirmation YET from the media is does he light up the room!?!

Is the bear hovering above them to note they, at best, are the second most popular team in town

Baseball being the only sport in which there are 2 top tier (not WNBA or Minor league hockey) teams in the professional ranks in town competing for fans, to be the 2nd most popular team would have to be considered a great accomplishment. While the Cubs are competing for the most popular spot, the Sox have to be at the other end of the spectrum. Perhaps the least favorite? The Bears may have just had the training camp with the least interest in recent years. Part of the reason is they will probably be a poor team again this season. But the Cubs playing really well and creating tremendous interest in their team, has to also factor into it. I find plenty of fault with Maddon's game management at times. But he seems to get the best out of his players and they seem very loyal to him, so he's doing a lot right.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

I don't know if they'll ever be fully dethroned because of how baseball is split across two teams, but I feel like the Bears' hegemony over Chicago sports is going to come to a close pretty soon, and not a moment too soon for that shitty operation. No one does less with more.
