if i'm really hungry and don't care about hating myself after i eat, five guys it is. if i'm pretty hungry and don't want to feel grease seeping through my pores the rest of the day, i'd choose in 'n out.

no, i'm suggesting that when there's a discussion about how to improve the 2009 cubs, "fire hendry" isn't really helpful.
-
Please, propose your changes. Do you have anything besides firing Hendry and Lou et al? I'd love to bring even just one gamechanger of a player, but who is out there? Where can they play? First, get rid of the guy who paid Aaron Miles $5 million. Also, this team is such a rats nest of incompetence and NTC's that it would take a genius to repair it. What would really change by firing Hendry? Who is out there to take over that would be so different? Hendry has his share of mistakes, like that contract, but just how bad this offense has been as a whole can't be pinned on him or anyone else besides the players. i love the people who cry "fire hendry" as if that will magically rebuild our farm system, undo the bad signings and turn the cubs into a 120 win a year dynasty.

Cards won. Reds are going to win too. I agree that Hendry shouldn't make a move for the sake of just making one, but we need to acquire a bat. And by acquiring a bat, I don't mean just sitting around and waiting for Aramis to come back. His bat will definitely help, but we need another guy as well. who though? we've already got tons of money sunk into outfielders, and have three starting OF. aramis plays third, theriot is fine at SS, lee isn't going anywhere at 1B. it probably has to be catcher - and it would be a panic move to pull the plug on soto (plus good luck getting a good-hitting C), so you're looking at 2B. i doubt the upgrade over fontenot would be that significant, plus it's hard to find good-hitting 2B as well. unfortunately, the way this team is set up, it's hard to improve it offensively. you just kinda have to hope that the guys who are slumping decide to show up this year.

lol a pair of 2-1 losses on walkoffs by geoff blum. so cobbish.
-
perhaps our offense is just trying to bore the astros into submission.
-
miles is friggin terrible.
-
hahaha good one (worked last time)
-
i think the only thing lou knows is when it's time to change his own diaper.
-
stop cheating and you won't get penalized by the ncaa.
-
keep throwing strikes buddy.
-
plus carlos lee is leading off the inning. 99.5%.
-
wut
-
haha good one
-
Moehler is probably crying in the dugout over the fact he lost to this team. if you get shelled by this cub team you should really consider retiring.
-
i'd like to know how many times a team has given up 4 runs and lost a 3-game series.
-
i'm pretty sure there will be a fake rally of some kind.
-
might as well get him some work in a game we're going to lose rather than blowing a close game we might win.
-
hopefully one of those changes involves recusing himself as cubs' manager.

Lous a freaking idiot Part 2 2009 season
TruffleShuffle replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
just terrific work with the PH's today. let fuku bat against an LHP in a big spot, not PH for inept hill and blanco in the 7th inning, then use miles. as i've said before, lou's bad in-game decisions were easier to overlook when the roster was overperforming, but now that it's underperforming he really brings no positives. i wouldn't mind a change. -
bradley and scales are both better options. lou apparently hasn't watched any baseball this season.
