Here's a challenge to the 2005 Cubs:

[KatJ]

Win JUST ONE GAME before September 1st.

 

The way you people have been playing, getting the ONE might be a challenge.

 

Losers are loveable only to Mom and Jesus Christ. :evil:

 

Take this one to Rants if you must...

On the bright side, there's no way Baker keeps his job if the Cubs lose 26 straight games.

As much as I'd like to believe that, I can totally see Dusty, Neifi, and Macias here until their contracts are up. Dusty has more than proven that he is not capable of making sound managing decisions, yet he's still here and still making the same, absolutely stupid moves.

But Hendry said that it's not Dusty's fault it's the player fault. Hey Hendry you are the guy who put the team together are you saying it's your fault

 

The Chicago Cubs need to get out of their funk, and the players should accept some responsibility for that, general manager Jim Hendry said.

Oh, of course the players could never be responsible for their own sloppy play and failure. What was Jim thinking?

[sweetpeteman]

here's another challenge: At least act like you care.

You guys are on the ball on this.

1) the players are responsible for their own bad play

2) Hendry brought in these players

3) Hendry brought in the guy who is supposed to motivate these players

4) these players are playing badly without motivation

5) Hendry must take the blame. It's called command responsibility.
