With the first pick in the 2010 MLB Draft, the Chicago Cubs select Bryce Harper.

 

And he'll sufer a majot injury in his firt few months in Peoria and never be the same until the Cards pick him up as a rule 5.

[Old Style]

lol @ Freel being Player Of The Game for gettinmg hit intentionally

 

Who do we have that can play CF? Can Freel play out there? If so, I say we bench the whole starting OF.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Well on the bright side if they continue this type of dreadful performance they'll get a pretty decent draft pick next year.

You really have faith they won't pick a toolsy outfielder or college reliever though?

 

Not really, but I do know that I enjoy watching minor league prospects much more than I enjoy watching this circus.

 

I have been following the farm a lot more intensely than I have in the past. Partly because we have a few really good guys down there, partly because the "big leaguers" are such a joke this year.

[RedFlash]

Well.............this weekend has been a blast. :roll:

My last real question is why do we put ourselves through it?

[Tryptamine]

I really have to believe that Lou is 3 or 4 losses in a row away from being unemployed either by his own hand or Hendry's.

I blame my dad for instilling the sickness in me at a young age.

I don't see him getting fired before Aramis comes back.

I've long blamed my grandfather.

If any of you actually hated being Cubs fans, why not just stop?

Lately, I don't get the feeling he'd even care.

Because all heroin addicts love heroin.

Seems like he's been making gestures that if this season doesn't end well he'll resign.

Right, I've got that impression, too.

Oops sorry there's no good vibes for the northside 9 today.

I'm still in denial on this one.

Thanks a lot UMFan.

 

That's disgusting.

I ask it all seriousness. It's not like crappy Cubs teams are a surprise to anyone who is a Cubs fan and over the age of, say, 15. Yes, this team obviously had huge expectations and the Cubs being bad is never going to not "hurt," but the repeated bemoaning that being a fan of this team is so horrible just seems pretty hollow when people could easily just stop being an active fan if they wanted to. It honesly seems like some (not saying you) prefer being able to complain about the team and players doing poorly and wallowing in self-pity.

Can't say I'll miss him.

It could be time for a new regime. Too many NTCs and massive contracts for a fire sale, but I could see Hendry and Lou both out of town one way or another if these guys dont pick it up.

[Soonernation]

Since you couldn't, Milton, I just threw my hat out my window on your behalf. Neighbor called me a POS too.

obviously your neighbor is a racist.

 

 

IT'S THE NEIGHBOR'S FAULT :-))

According to the roster on Cubs.com, we have 3 outfielders currently on the roster. :thumbsup:

I get the feeling that Hendry's a Cardinal's fan.

Unfortunately, the Cubs are so inept that they won't even be able to get that right... No way they'll be worse than the Nationals by season's end
