Wisdom sure has been a pleasant surprise in spot duty.

Glad they won yesterday but three errors and Horner was out by a mile at home and the catcher dropped the ball. The fielding and base running has not been good. They aren’t a fundamentally sound team at this point.

Swanson is another guy who has been brutal.

only one hit today. Happ slugging at .302

I don't know, I did admire White but those last two seasons were pretty bad.

Other than watching Payton run, those late 70's Bear offenses were brutal. For kicks I looked up Avellini's stats-he actually led the league in game winning drives with 4 in 1977. Probably a lot of handoffs to Payton.

Happ hitting only .216 with one homer through 30 games.

Also best adult film moniker in the big leagues.

How could they possibly get an easier schedule than they have now? 14 games are predetermined years in advance. Since they finished last in the NFC North their 3 swing games are against last place teams in other divisions (Panthers, Commanders, & Patriots).

Gill’s punting was pretty bad- they needed to replace him, you can argue whether or not this was the way to do it I guess.

If they keep the pick, I just hope they draft a guy that can be a 6-8 year starter at a high level, don't even care at what position. I understand the thought process of trading down, but I like keeping it simple. Top 10 picks are so valuable, and unless you're bad you don't get them often...

That's the old Jack Tatum joke.

Well, thank God that's over.

I did not know that but probably should have.

Former Cub Kenny Holtzman has passed away.
