There's just some pitchers that you know are going to shut the Cubs down. Unfortunately, it's usually the guy making his first major league start or someone sporting a 7.02 ERA.

 

Today, I just had a feeling the Byng-Hyun Kim was going to shut us down.

With guys like Soto and Fox, it seems like we'd be putting automatic outs into the lineup. Granted, I think Soto is a good defensive catcher but the last thing this lineup needs is another easy out.

 

Fox has always hit and is at .349 this year again. He may be a butcher, but wasn't Piazza?

 

Piazza couldn't throw, but he wasn't a butcher.

I would like to see about 3-4 guys gone from this team in like a matter of a week. I thought they were working towards being a team of accountability.

 

Seriously, Lee, Ramirez and Theriot are the only 3 players who have shown they deserve to play every day. I really would like to see Pie play every day. They need some energy very very badly.

 

Do we really want a firesale? Really? I think this is a pretty average team. We're still in the race. We're probably going to be in the race the entire year. The team that wins the division is going to be the one that gets hot in the end. As unimpressive as we are, that could be us.

 

Do you really think we can string together wins?

I can't be the only person here who actually doesn't mind Neal Cotts. He's certainly far more useful than Scott Eyre. I mean seriously, what does it take to get a DFA in this organization?

 

I'd rather have Cotts over Eyre and it's not even close.

 

Id rather have a cott over Eyre

 

I'd rather have a cot, so that I can cry myself to sleep when either are pitching.

I'm not talking about a firesale, but something that gets these guys to recognize that if they don't play well, they don't play. Get rid of Eyre, Jones and Izturis to start. They lose nothing. Bring up Pie, Fontenot (or is he still up?) and Cotts (or Rapada).

 

Hope to light a spark that gets them hot

I think this team is going to be streaky all year. If we can get hot at the right time, who knows what can happen. I just think talking firesale when we're almost certainly going to be in it all the way is not a good idea.

They cant get that streak goin with wins though, but they sure are good at streaking together crap games.
