As To That Other Sport

Dear Chicago Bears Offense:

When your rookie quarterback does fairly well, and only throws into double coverage a few times (one of which was due to his inexperience - how does a guy from Purdue know that NFL safeties have the speed to get over and provide help to corners on sideline routes), you don't have the O-line panic and start false starting on three straight plays.

Geez. You guys looked like Korey on a high fastball.

0-1 is right for this team. For the season, 6 to 7 wins is about right if Cedric Benson doesn't provide an upgrade from Thomas Jones.

As To The Insanity

Yes, the Cubs have moved to within 6 loss column games (henceforth, LCGs) of a playoff spot. Yes, TJ's scenario is playing out through three days. Yes, most Cubs fans would believe in the Loch Ness Monster if they thought Nessie could hit forty homers and play center field.

But, with Houston and Florida playing each other the next four nights, and the Cubs facing Cinci, you need to remember that even with a sweep the Cubs can only gain 2 games in the next three days.

Let's not revisit this topic until after the Cinci series, ok?
