Yeah, pretty crazy stuff. It's amazing how this team just tosses itself into the abyss each year.

 

I don't see how they come back now. Someone clue me in because I'm not seeing it. I'm hoping for it. Wishing for it. Just not seeing it.

Yeah, that's what we need. More Henry Blanco.

I can't even watch the games anymore. Last night I turned on the game at 8:30-ish, saw the Cubs were already down 3-0 in the 2nd inning, and turned it off. I knew the game was over.

 

This team is impossible to figure out.

Whoopee! I'm sure they've "wanted" to win ever since 1908. I'm ready to see results, not desire.

“Hopefully this is a bottoming-out game,” Piniella said. “We didn’t hit. We didn’t pitch. We ran the bases good tonight.”

 

LOL...Lou, you really should hit the comedy club circuit.

I truly believe that Lou and Hendry are totally on a different page. The entire Dempster for 5th starter situation was one of those things and thankfully Hendry won that one. Moving Demp to 5th is a terrible idea. Do the cubs want to fix the pen? get rid of Eyre and move Howry to mop up duty, or get rid of him too. If you're not helping the winning cause then you must go one way or another. Eyre needs to go period. Then, we have the Izturis/Theriot debacle. I know that Theriot is struggling right now but I believe he is the better player. Let's face it Izturis' defense hasn't been that great and we know he isn't that good offensively. How many double plays do we have to see from him? Can he even get a RBI? He only has 5!? 5 the entire year, that is garbage. He needs to go too. Personally, I believe Lou wants Theriot playing SS and Izturis benched but I think he might be feeling pressure to start him from Hendry. Our OF is in shambles right now. Soriano is overrated and overpaid and definitely hasn't even come close to living up to his contract. Murton and Floyd have sucked, so has Jones. We probably have the worst OF in the majors. We are getting jack for production there. granted, Murton's numbers haven't been great but he was in a big slump last year too and he got out of it by playing more. I knew that signing Floyd was a mistake and clearly it has been. The only thing he brings to the table is a sore ankle and a left handed bat. Time to get rid of Jock as well. I was under the impression he would be more productive against righties than Pie would be but he has sucked really bad. get rid of the bum and call up Pie to play CF and call it a day. it's not like we're winning games here with the Jones/Pagan setup.

FWIW, head of security at wrigley told me tonight, to expect a big trade in the next 24 hrs

 

no link= not true

yeah, i was just joking.

In the long shot hope of getting the thread somewhat back on track...has there been a Bruce Signal sent up recently? It sure would be nice to get something other than the "there was a meeting" nuggets you get on the Trib...

Please stick to baseball discussion, no matter how depressing that subject may be at the moment.
