5/26: Cubs (Zambrano) VS: Braves (Hudson) - 1:20 P.M.- WGN

WOW, I stop watching right before Dempster got in and bam I hear the news the Cubs lost and on top of it Neifi and his error probably cost us. This is a much deserved loss that falls squarely on Baker and Hendry for resigning the most pathetic players in Neifi and Rusch. Kudos Jim, you have the entire fan base hating you. Nothing will change which is just ridiculous!

 

they shouldn't have got runs 4 & 5 off dumpster. rusch had nothing to do w/ the loss. neifi should retire today.

I don't care if Rusch had nothing to do with it, he sucks and should be DFA'd like his buddy Neifi.

As long as that number doesn't change.. MacPhail, Hendry and Baker will be here...

Ok...

 

You all know that I think Dusty, Jim, etc. should be gone yesterday.

 

But at the same time, this NEVER happens to other teams. Yes, Pierre was bad last year but there is no way he should be this bad. Dempster is good for a while, we sign him to a 3 yr deal, oh look, LaTroy is back! There are bigger forces at work here than just the idiocy of Dusty and Jim.

[BigSlick]

I'm not saying give them away...but if we can make the team better I have no problems in doing it...nobody is off limits in that respect.

 

i understand what you are saying but no one would do that deal

 

Willis has sucked this year anyways

 

You would suck too if you pitch 9 shut out innings and get credited with the loss.
