Alright well I know I'm not the only person asking themselves here but what the "H" are the Cubs doing in the offseason to make this team better. To be honest I don't see this team any better then last year, but instead one year older with a proven history of choking in the post season. The latest acquisitions the Cubs have made have done next to nothing to make this team any better, I hope Jim Hendry has a trick up his sleeve but I don't know if he can pull of any sort of miracle trade to convince me this team well go somewhere in the post season. Milton Bradley is going to do nothing but cause trouble in the club house until Zambrano gives him a black guy and we'll see him packing his bags soon after that. The free agent market doesn't provide any key players out there for our offense to improve at the positions we need or unless we overpay for them, which I think having two overpaid outfielders is enough already. So my question is what kind of trade can Hendry do to make this team a threat in the post season? Brian Roberts? Don't think so, that trade is a dead horse. Jake Peavy? Having great pitching is great but the padres are asking for too much and it still doesn't address our left handed bat that we need to improve this offense. Honestly all I see is this team right now trying to roll it out next season without the positions that we need to being addressed. I DO hope Hendry will prove me wrong, but if you ask me their will be no great trade or free agent signing that will get this team over the hump in the post season and actually become a playoff threat.***** RAWDOG 4 EVA!!!!******

We had the best record in majors last year we don't NEED to do anything to be a contender. I think that is the approach the team has taken. They will get someone who will help eventually but won't overspend or give up too much. They'll wait until in season if they have to.

How is this stuff allowed but the true identity of rawdog keeps getting suppressed?

Uhh, we did just sign Joey Gathright. That's more than enough for me.

Yeah, figuring out which black guy Zambrano is going to give Bradley will keep me up all night.

 

I have a few thoughts...
