I swear these guys not only have a horrible plan on how to assemble a team but their total belief in lightning in a bottle solutions drives me to the point of madness. Edited by CuseCubFan69

Lee was a top FA signing...right, Andy, whatever helps you sleep.

 

Strictly for confirmation of earlier expectations, what a waste of time.

So, who is really in charge of the Cubs?

 

No seriously. Nobody really believes Andy has control......right?

I don't think it was. It confirms that the whole organization has no clue. Now I can relax and enjoy other things in life.

Guys, we're all going to be dead before our team wins a championship. That's depressing. When my daughter is born, I'm going to do everything I can to keep her from this misery.

Just raise her to be a Yankees fan like everyone else. At least you know she won't have to go through this crap all the time.

Waddle said Kap asked the tough questions, so it was a good interview. Tough questions are one thing. A good interview, however, is one in which dodged tough questions are followed up on.

The Cubs are on pace to barely walk more than they did last year. Last year, the Cubs were one of the worst teams in the league at drawing walks.

 

The opponents have drawn almost twice as many walks at this point in the season. Cubs 115 walks. Opponents 211 walks.

 

Big deal right? Cubs batting averages to date: .244 Opponents: .243.

 

Granted, the SLG is definitely better for the opposing teams, but who do you think those doubles and HR's are driving in? GUYS WHO WALK!

 

"Hendry won't fire Dusty?" Good, fire Hendry too, because he's a bigger problem. And while your at it, fire yourself!

There are no three better words to sum up the problems with this organization than "Neifi saved us."

You said it man. At one point MacPhail said "Firing Dusty is the furthest thing from Hendry's mind." That's a paraphrase, but it's what he said.

 

Christ Almighty. If your GM isn't even thinking about the possibility he has the wrong manager right now, then there's absolutely no doubt you've got the WRONG GM!

Maybe Jack Bauer can be George Baily in "24...It's a Wonderful Life". Jack has 24 hours to figure out the meaning of Christmas.
