Cubs' Players Fighting Back

[dalgreen]

Two things that people say about Baker:

 

1) He always favors veterans over young players

2) He won't call out his players in the press and "light a fire"

 

In this case, he calls out a player and picks the veteran to blame instead of the young player.

 

IMO Dusty is overdue to be fired for a number of reasons, but in this case it seems he is doing what a lot of people here have complained about him not doing before and still get getting criticized.

 

Great point. It's becoming obvious that for some on here if you love a guy you will never criticize him even if it's deserved; and if you hate a guy you won't give him credit.

Wow. 1 thing. He still thinks walks clog the bases, still has a huge man-crush on Neifi and will very likely make some dumb excuse for playing veterens in September.

[CubsBullsBears]

It's because the people behind you want to be able to see the game.

No one was directly behind me

 

did you sign by any chance say "LOOK AT ME I WANNA BE ON TV"

No. It said,

Can we

Stop playing

Neifi

 

Fans applauded it. The other side had to do w/ baseclogging.

He already has one from last year: Maintaining the integrity of the postseason races

For the record, I'd just like to point out that I don't give a you-know-what about this team or whatever they're complaining about now.

 

You are correct, sir!

 

An amazing turn around for Mr. Jon. He actually had quite a bit of faith in this group before the season if I remember correctly.

 

 

Just for the record: I hate being right when I look at the Cubs in ST and think they are going to suck.

I was much more excited for this season than 2005...oh well.

Nah, Jon didn't have much faith in this group going into this season...last season, maybe.

Boers and Bernstein are saying that Jacque Jones sought out Paul Sullivan to yell at him over Sullivan's article in the newspaper. Interestingly, during the time Jones was berating Sullivan, Dusty walked right by and let it continue. :? This is getting worse than the Stone fiasco.

 

How long will it be before Hendry takes control of the team?

I thought the same thing as soon as I read about Hendry taking control of the team! :roll:

he'd have to pull himself away from the buffet first, that aint happening anyday soon

While Jones was yelling at Sullivan Hendry went into his office to evaluate the situation and will have an answer in 3 or so months. But first, he has to figure out if he is going to put the cream in before the sugar into his coffee. Please be patient and continue your support for the Cubs until a decision is made.
