Cecil Cooper just got sneak attacked by the pink slip of destiny.

Really hate to see that. They might actually hire a good manager now.

Robbie Gould is money.

I'll bet they don't put in Field Turf because I believe World Cup socceer will only play on natural grass.

Fuck soccer.

Soccer wouldn't fuck you, even with the lights off.

Since I'd probably just lie there and sweat I can understand that.

If the Cubs trade Z, I'll just commit seppuku.

It'll be justified because of whatever garbage the Cubs receive in return. And it's more then likely going to be garbage.

Odds he gets traded for a second baseman?

BRIAN ROBERTS!!!!!!

Brian Roberts puts the milk carton back in the fridge even though there's not a lot of milk left.

Ian Kinsler thinks the Cubs should trade Zambrano for a second baseman.

Chase Utley molests collies.

As much as I hate the idea, the recent press bullshit about how Z's somehow a net
fucking negative for this team makes me actually afraid he's destined to get shipped
out this off season.  From a purely financial stand point he's the only big contract that
is actually movable, but mostly it's just total Cubs doctrine to get the media hype
machine trashing anyone they are going to deal to try and make fans not realize it's
just because they are cheap.

It's almost like the Trib didn't sell the team.

"Jay Cutler drew marked criticism from former NFL head coaches Jim Mora and Mike Martz for his performance during Sunday's game as well as the post-game press conference.
After his four interceptions ruined a stellar defensive performance by the Bears, Cutler refused to accept blame and offered little more than cliches by way of explanation. "When I saw that postgame press conference last night, I thought he looked completely immature," Mora said. "He acted like he didn't even care." Added Lovie Smith's mentor Mike Martz: "He just doesn't get it." Cutler's maturity level has been in question ever since his orchestrated Denver exit in March and April.

If they're so fucking smart, why aren't they coaching somewhere?

Because they're shitty coaches?

I will say this, the Bears would be wise to invest in some media training for Cutler. He comes across about as poorly as any professional athlete I've ever seen in an interview setting. He always looks somebody just shot his dog.

Outside of washed up former head coaches and the morans at ESPN, does anybody really give a shit about how Cutler handles the media?

Strictly from a PR standpoint, if you're the Bears and you shelled out serious coin for the face of your franchise you don't want him to look like Droopy Dog.

I would hope that if the Bears shelled out serious coin for him that they would be most concerned about his play on the field. Good play and winning games is the best PR they can possibly have.

I know it's en vogue to pile on, but GODR has a fairly valid point about wanting your star players to have some media training.
Obviously the play on the field is key, and good play will offset anything else, but you want the guys to be at least reasonably good with the media.

I'm not judging Cutler on his media skills, just in general here for any superstar.

resume piling on...

Thank you.

I don't in any way agree with Martz and Mora's characterization that Cutler "doesn't care". But Cutler doesn't help himself by sad-sacking it in the postgame scrum.

I'd be stunned if they actually traded him.

Typically the Cubs like to crush a player's value via the media before trading them. I'm sure stories about Z being a bad teammate, clubhouse CANCER, lazy, no good asshole will be leaked soon. Then we'll trade him for Jeremy Reed, Lance Broadway and Luis Castillo. And pick up 80% of Z's contract.

I was done being pissed about this abortion of a season and the douchebag GM who destroyed a 97-win team about a month ago but reading this shit today wrecked my mood.

The only reason they have to deal Zambrano is because Hendry is a fucking idiot who hands out ridiculously long high-dollar contracts and gives multi-year deals to shitty former Cardinals who should be off helping Frodo take the fucking Ring back to Mount Doom.

And Ricketts thinks the douchebag should keep his job?

Bears ready to sign a LB...Tim Shaw.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/8418

They signed a guy from England? When one of those guys is available, gotta go get him.

Except that this guy always tries to get too familiar in the scrum.

He can't be from England. The dental work looks too nice.

Vaughn McClure saying Urlacher's finito for '09.

Shoot.

Brian Urlacher = Aramis Ramirez?

I say no, but I can see the comparison being made in print and on air.

I say the Bears skip the

Hunter Hillenmeyer = Mike Fontenot phase and move onto the

Jamar Williams = JAY KVOX phase.

Any word on the Hawaiian kid's knee injury?

Lovie's presser should be fun to watch.
