07/30 Astros (Ortiz) @ Cubs (Hart) 1:20 CT, WGN TV

[RedFlash]

Yeah, that DeRosa trade really worked out for us.

 

Hendry has made some very good trades, but he's made more bad-to-awful ones.

 

Why do people mention OFFSEASON trades when I'm talking about IN SEASON trades especially at the deadline.

[Old Style]

2:21pm: Heyman (via Twitter) thinks the Cubs are getting closer on Grabow, and could acquire another pitcher as well.

 

guh....come on. i'm in a good mood and you bring this.

 

Vitters for Grabow?

 

Name the last time Hendry traded a TOP prospect during the season? I mean someon of Vitters ability. Hate on Hendry if you want, but he does do trades very solid.

 

Choi was still very highly regarded when he was traded.

Yeah, curse Hendry for that stupid deal.

[Little Slide Rooter]

6 run lead is nice, but I still dont trust Hart.

[Guest]

Yeah, that DeRosa trade really worked out for us.

 

Hendry has made some very good trades, but he's made more bad-to-awful ones.

 

Are you really judging a prospects-for-big leaguer trade 6 months after the trade? Especially when the 3 prospects have performed rather well in the minors?

[Old Style]

D Lee struck out swinging. K Fukudome caught stealing home, catcher to second to catcher

wtf?

why do only inseason deadline trades count?

 

Hendry usually gets to take other people's money issues off their hands, that's his advantage at the deadline.

[Keener98]

I'm really looking forward to watching the Cards play this joke of a team this weekend.

 

 

That same joke of a team that swept your asses last week huh

[Vanilla Ice]

I'd take out Theriot in an inning or two and give him some rest. Maybe bring in Blanco at SS, Baker at 3rd and Fox at C.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

D Lee struck out swinging. K Fukudome caught stealing home, catcher to second to catcher

wtf?

Someone who is watching please explain this.

[C.C.]

I'm still pissed at the top half of the third.

[RedFlash]

6 run lead is nice, but I still dont trust Hart.

 

At this point if Hart can get through 5 innings, I call that a good day.

Are you really saying you can't criticize a trade of a player when the team went out and replaced said player with Aaron Freaking Miles?

[soapy]

D Lee struck out swinging. K Fukudome caught stealing home, catcher to second to catcher

wtf?

 

attempted steal of 2B by Theriot. when the throw went to 2B, Fukudome went home and got caught.

[illiniguy]

D Lee struck out swinging. K Fukudome caught stealing home, catcher to second to catcher

wtf?

k theriot broke for second they threw down, then threw back to home to get fuku.

[bukie]

wtf?

Not watching, but sounds like Theriot broke for second, and Fukudome broke for home as soon as the catcher threw to second.

[Careless]

How did that make the wall?

Stevens, Gaub, and Archer have all been great this season. I would have liked to keep DeRosa, but the guys we got have been plenty useful.

[Cronos006]

They'll take two of three from you.

 

Unless Oswalt is fine and makes his start, no.

The biggest hurt on DeRo is that now the cards have him.

None of us have said that Hendry is good on the FA market. He is good on the trade market, though.

I think it's reasonable to do so. This team was built to win now, and whatever comes of that trade in the future, it definitely hurt us in the present. Hendry thought he could replace most of Derosa's production with a Fontenot/Miles platoon, and he was sorely mistaken.

Right, cause you guys will never lose again to a crap pitcher. Never again

But that's different. That's a criticism of a free agent signing of the replacement player (especially when the likes of Orlando Hudson were available this offseason).

He's good when he gets to take other people's money problems off their hands, otherwise he's nothing special.
