    Prior to the news of the sale, I could have seen a path for Hendry to acquire Tejada at the deadline. With Soriano, Ramirez, Lee and Tejada, the Cubs could live with DeRosa/Theriot at 2B, Murton/Floyd in RF and Felix Pie taking his time to come into his own. However we have to deal with the reality. Given the uncertainty of the finances with an imminent sale of the ballclub in the works, and a GM with an expiring contract, who's probably on his way out, if Hendry does make a move at the deadline, my guess is that it will be for a player who's contract expires at the end of the season. Assuming our biggest offensive weaknesses are at SS and C, is there a productive SS or C on the trading block, who will also be a free agent after 2007? If the Cubs could somehow winde up with Tejada for the Price of Jones + Mrton and MiL pitcher I would be ecstatic. I think he may be able to help them get in contention for the division as well.

    Hopefully he doesn't have to go to the DL. Stupid hustling, but at least all the jackass sports djs and and baseball know-noithings will be happy.

    Nobody likes that bastard. You mean liked. I heard he got banned or somehting.

    yeah, i won't bitch about the cubs wasting millions on samardzija and other assorted major league players, but then all of a sudden having to obey slot money the year that a big piece to the puzzle is available in the draft. So who are you bitching at? I have no idea. Just bitching in general. It still seems ridiculous to me that the Cubs have to be handcuffed by money during this draft, when the actual budget for a draft is such a small part of the overall spending on the team. It seems to me that as long as the Trib owns the Cubs, they should operate like a large market team, and the next person coming in knows that they're buying a large market team. It's the uncertainty of future ownership that's causing this. It's nothing to blame the Cubs about at all - for once. This truly is a Trib decision. fine, then the trib is wrong It's BS too. They let hendry spend money like a druken sailor in Amsterdam and knew the Cubs were to be sold. It makes no sense at all and would seem to me to actually be a detraction to a potential buyer. It would be like cutting on plant maintenance and setting up the machines to fail after the sale.

    I went with Slappy. We use to make fun of him when he was with the Marlins. He's sucks so bad it hurts. Then the Cubs traded three decent pitching prospects for him and his bloated contract just so Jimmy could have his "lead-off" man. Then he doesn't even have the decency to strike out every once in a while or grow his awsome pornstache back. He's a one tool player.

    The best way to do it would probably do a poll of all the top picks(including Price, Porcello, guys who may get taken in front of us). Then do another poll with the top guy from the previous poll excluded, then repeat that to emulate our Top 3 preference. Price will almost certainly be the top choice... everyone knows I'm a big fan of Wieters, and even I'd go with Price if he's available. I'm guessing Wieters would be #2 after him, and then either Porcello or Vitters. It will almost be better for the the board (less heated banter) if Wieters is gone at #2. If Price and Wieters are off the choices become a little more equal. Regardless, I don't think the Cubs take Wieters, its the smart move.

    If it was a "players only" meeting who do B&B know what went on?

    A more fitting punishment would be to not suspend Lou and make him watch this sorry bunch of slugs play baseball. Having to manage the Cubs is punishment enough. This is like a get out of jail free card.

    If the team was winning, that % would be microscopic. Yeah, nobody was complaining in 2003. I agree to an extent, but there is always going to be people upset. In 2003 it was Wood/Prior pitch counts, and probably rightfully so. But I still feel a good majority of those folks would have complained had Baker shut them down. "Those people" refer to nobody specifc, just trying to think back to the general themes of discussion from that year. My opinon is that no manager (or coach) could have done well with this team. Lou has managed to take a poorly contructed team and get less than would be expected. What was expected by me was an around .500 team.

    Youk!!!

    I'll just pile on here and add Cliff Floyd to the list. Hendry recruited him when he was at Creighten I'm sure there are others.

    You forgot "don't worry, be happy"

    Jeff needs to do something different or this could be the worst 7+ million dollars spent in history of minor league baseball.

    Off the top of my head Cap Anson Dave Kingman George Bell Frank Chance Glen Allen Hill Edit: Bill Buckner- He once stepped on Gary Carter's catcher mask on purpose after scoring just so he could pop Carter in his permed mug. All-Time for any team Ty Cobb Albert Bell

    No, he doesn't. Not even close, really. Are we really arguing over a below average player and an even more below average player? You are very correct there. Not really. VORP/WARP in '06 Matt Murton: 16.2/4.5 Angel Pagan: -2.7/1.0 Murton sucks as an outfielder and can't drive in runs, what do miss about those facts? BTW, it is 2007 and Murton has done NOTHING. Your posts never disapoint in their utter mendacity. First, you tried to compare Murton to Pagan. Second, he's received sporadic playing time. It's hard to do ANYTHING when you are sitting on the bench.

    This is a completely lame standard to hold Barrett to. Yes, professionalism went out with red leather jackets. Give me a break. I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make here. You don't like Michael Barrett, we get it. The fight was almost entirely Zambrano's fault. It's pretty obvious to everyone. Why does Barrett have to sit there and take a tongue lashing from one of the worst regular starting pitchers in baseball this year? Zambrano was a complete joke today. Imagine the nerve of him to tell another player to "keep their head in the game." What a delusional maniac. Good point. I consider myself a professional. I usually act such at work. But if a colleague walked into my classroom, called me a horrible teacher in front of my students, and insulted my intelligence while I was aware that he had deficiencies of his own, I'd probably point those out at that time. While it might not be the most professional way to handle the situation, I'm also likely not the one to be blamed either. Then you're not acting professional.

Zambrano is not the first Cub pitcher to have a problem with Barrett. Prior and Maddux both have had problems with him in the past. Z is/was stupid. Z should not have done what he did. Barrett on the other hand instigated the altercation by pointing to the freaking scoreboard after he made two stupid mistakes on one play. It's seems to me that both are in the wrong here.
