    he gave him 3 years cause other teams were offering him 2 and he didn't want encanarcion, sanders and burnitz. sure he likes him, but he doesn't "covet" Jones-types. that's absurd. he covets beltran-types, but the trib doesn't covet 7yr and 119 contracts. What is absurd is the fact that it's true that Hendry likes Jones type players. It's painfully obvious to anybody that has paid attention to Hendry moves and/or listened to what he says he likes in a player. so flip flopping on the coveting charge? jones hasn't sucked like many predicted. calm down. What? How am I flip flopping? Man, you really like acting like a jerk don't you. Hendry covets this type of player. He's happy as a pig in spit that he got him and he's going to keep him. another in a long line of over-the-top statements. Yeah, nothing is more over the top then basing your arguments on trends and information. Ooh, don't forget that common sense sometimes helps. As do direct quotes from Hendry.

    What is wrong with Zambrano? This could get ugly real quick.

    This is just the spark the Cubs need. Cedeno Sox Neifi at SS Tony at 2nd and playoffs here we come. Yes!!!!1111!!!!1!1111111111!!!!!!1111!

    I know. And it was so good when Teddy Greenstien did it. I wish Teddy still covered the Cubs, he actually took his job seriously and wrote good insigtfull articles.

    I am almost postive that somone has already written this but it will be Dusty's extension.
  6. CubinNY
    It sounds as if Baker has a lot of say in roster decisions. It disturbs me too. But the really disturbing part is that this is making news. Womack IS Neifi Perez. This just the shot in the arm this team needs. More washed up veterans.

    "It wasn't as hot as it was supposed to be this week. And I think the grass is a little long. But, you got to go out there and compete anyway."

    That would put the Cubs in the top 10 of worst teams ever. Hey, it's something to shoot for!
  9. CubinNY
    Oh, I'm borderline MR from following the Cubs since childhood.
  10. CubinNY
    That's a pretty incriminating list, right there. I forgot to mention: watch his team get worse every year since he has taken over. I know they had one more win in 04 then in 03 but they didn't make the playoffs and melted against two of the worst teams in the league in the final week of the season.

    Sorry. It's not your fault I'm a dumbass. It's not your fault that you didn't read the thread. Actually it is to your benefit that you weren't exposed to it. I lost three IQ points simply by clicking on it.

    Bad baseball decisons by management from the front office on down to the trainer. During his time as GM Jim Hendry has seen and done A ball player leave early after the last game Leak a video of player (lowering his already low trade value) Hired a trainer without credentials Fired the assistant trainer for pointing that out A ball player call the booth during a game and then corner the broadcaster in an elevator Fired the broadcast team and not sign the player Set dates for players to return and have them miss those dates creating speculation that said players were/are soft Overspend on mediocre free-agents (the list is long and includes those currently with the team at the time of the signing) Pass on players that might help Count on injured pitchers to be healthy Let players who might help the team go or try to trade them away Allow poor development of players in the farm system Trade minor leaguers for marginal proven veterans Not continue to scout internationally Watch bad fundamental baseball year after year Allow the coach to use the closer as a starter and the set up man as the closer and the list goes on and will continue to go on.

    You should post this in Rivials. It will drive the Cardinal fans stark raving mad. K-town will probably pee himself while typing. With good reason, it's a friggin' ridiculous assertion. Of course it is, but the way I see it, it will keep them busy for a while and I will get a laugh at how serious they will take it. It's like cubbierich's ridiculous Pujols is a coward thread. Reading that is high commedy We discourage trolling on this board, and what you described is pretty much the definition of it. Appearently not too well becuase that thread hasn't been locked yet. I have not posted in that thread to further along trolling. So I take offense to the idea that I am trolling.

    I'd love to be at the D-Jaxx game tonight. That looks like a great pitching matchup.

    Why is Giradi a good manager? He seems to employ the smae outdated tactis of the current Cubs manager. He talks about hustle and the will to win and all other sorts of crap. And the Marlins suck. What is good about Girardi? He use to be a Cub and was somewhat likeable while he was in Chicago?

    Well, Hendry ignored Pierre's atrocious 2005 and now it's biting the Cubs in the behind. It's hard to ignore .276/.326/.354. And he had an even worse OPS in 2002 with the Rockies. Pierre was anything but a sure bet. On the plus side, he's actually been good on the base paths. Patterson's been better 14/14

    I'd have to say 100% speculation.
  20. CubinNY
    Unless or until he pitches the speculation is moot. I'd rather see the Cubs shop Wood, Maddux, or Marshall. I still believe Prior will live up to expectations. I blame the Cubs for much of his problems. I also blame them for standing by and letting the radio talkshow jackasses question his toughness.
  21. CubinNY
    I don't know if they'd jump, but I think they would seriously consider it. Their pitching is in disaray, aside from Mariano and Farns their bullpen is terrible, and Matsui is out for the year. Prior could be an Ace for them for years to come. I wouldn't trade Prior though. I would try and trade Wood instead. I think he would wave the NTC for a big payday and a couple of years of guarenteed money.

    If Hendry is fired (not likely) it will have to come from a higher place then MacPhail.

    Big Frank should get in to the HOF without a doubt. He played his first six years before (1990-95) the "steriod era" and put up these numbers: BA OBP SLG OPS .323 .452 .593 1.046 Sick And his career numbers look like this: BA OBP SLG OPS .307 .427 .568 .995 He should end his career with around 500 HRs and 2,500 hits. It's a no-brainer.

    It's incredibly wide spread. Everybody hates him here. Indeed. For some crazy reasons people "think" he's not a Yankee. They think he is a pretty boy who doesn't come through in the clutch. By and large Yankee fans are incredably short sighted. Ironicaly, the now love Giambi though. Wood (extra money for waving the NTC) + Cedeno + Dope (when he gets off the DL) for A-rod. Yankess pay the difference so the trade is money neutral.

    The Big Murt with a dong.
