Mussina just went on the DL for the Yanks, so they might take a look at Glendon, couldn't get much, but thats ok.

 

It wouldn't matter what prospect we got in return. Getting rid of Gopher Ball and his contract is all that matters.

I feel sorry for the guy a little. He has been tossed from starter to reliever more then any pitcher on the Cubs. He comes in and does a good job for a few games and then blows up and goes on the DL. Comes back in relief pitches a little till the next injury and then starts the cycle all over again.

 

I would not be happy to see him go if it really showed like he wanted to be here. He has just gotten bigger and bigger since he got his contract. Never shows emotion and goes on mysterious DL appearances.

 

 

What is with the new adds on this site?

I don't feel sorry for him at all. He's a millionaire and he is not living up to his contract. A true athlete would be in much better shape than him.

Anyone else remember David Wells when he was on the White Sox? I know he's always been a bigger guy but he was huge when he was with Chicago.

I sat next to Jerry Krause at the game last night and I begged him to have the Yankees trade for Glendon.

 

I think Jerry might have a soft spot for Glendon...they are very similar in stature.

 

Jerry Krause no longer works for the Yankees and is now working for the Mets' organization.

 

Good thing I didn't bring up the Yankees then I guess.

I have a few problems with this post...

 

1. He hasn't had a few good consecutive games since 2004.

2. His blow ups are, by far, more the norm, than the exception.

3. You make it sound like his DL trips have been regular, and not mysterious. He only went on the DL this year because he was stinking so bad, they figured there had to be something wrong with him that needed some rest. The DL isn't part if his normal cycle, only sucking, with a random decent appearance every once in a while, just often enough to justify keeping him on the roster.

4. I don't like the fact he doesn't show any emotion. He certainly hasn't exhibited that he is working to get himself in better shape so that he can perform better. He also doesn't show any disgust in his performances when he regularly gives up multiple runs in short stints.

5. Like what was said above, he's making millions to basically do no better than my wife could do.
