    Vance, Why not wait until 2008 then it will be a full one hundred years? just kidding. I think it is a good idea in genreal. I think that was the plan in 2003, then the unexpected happened. However, I think this team can be good enough right now to compete. I think Dusty has completely mis-managed this team. Who knows what would have happend if Dempster was the closer at the beginining of the year. Or if Dusty wouldn't have handed Hollandsworth the starting job before ST even started. Or if Dusy would have actually used Hairston this year. Remember when Walker went down Neffi was the 2nd baseman until Nomar went down. We will never know, sadly.

    OBP? The problem with this team has never been pitching, it's exactly what most of us thought it would be. See the signature, Raisin wrote that in Jan or Feb.

    I think it has a lot to do with the same reasons why Morgan doesn't particularly think Sandberg should be in the HOF. MLB is the ultimate club, even more so than Augusta National CC. They like to keep it that way. That's why you see re-tread managers over and over.

    If and when Baker gets fired he will land on his feet. To quote Michael Lewis said in Moneyball,"there really is no level of incompetence that won't be tolerated." He'll get a gig on ESPN's BBTN for a year and then go back to managing, probably for an organization like the Reds or the Marlins.

    I lost all faith in the current regime when Cedeno was called up to not play. I see no reason why Hendry/Baker would treat Murton and Greenberg any differently. My thoughts exactly
  6. CubinNY
    Cedeno, Greenburg, and Murton are up. But will they play consistent enough to succeed?
  7. CubinNY
    Go get em Corey. Good luck to Doobie too. I think regular playing time without having to look over his shoulder would have done wonders for Dubios. Oh well...

    If the Cubs do trade maddux they will likely pick up most of the check and not get much in return.
  9. CubinNY
    Naw, the Yankees are smart. They've called up a rookie to play CF and one to play 2nd base b/c the proven vet isn't getting it done. Go figure, what will they think of next.
  10. CubinNY
    No, he's just trying to take up for oldcubsfan in the ridiculus argument department. The guy loves to play the devil's advocate. The best thing to do is ignore his posts.
  11. CubinNY
    That is what that guy wrote. And you wrote Don't pretend you were not misrepresenting what this person wrote.

    Are you ####ING KIDDING ME??? MACIAS? Sweet lord. GOD. He is such an idiot. WHY IN THE HELL is Macias playing over Hairston, and WHY IN THE HELL is Neifi playing over cedeno. GOOD LORD. I think it is pretty clear that Dusty does not like Hairston. Maybe his dad did something to Baker. I cannot understand it at all.
  13. CubinNY
    Why do you intentionally misrepresent the point other people make?

    Fantasy picks Manager: Larry Deirker Pitching Coach: Hershiser Batting Coach: The guy at West Tenn Bench Coach: Me, hey it is a fantasy and I don't know what a bench coach does exactly, so I'm guessing I'm qualified. 1st base: Don't care 3rd base: Not Wendel Kimm New GM: Goony's evil twin, he hates to spend the Trib's money and will demand production for dollars.

    Jim hired Dusty

    He surely did build a mess didn't he? Ramirez and Lee in the corner infielder spots just hasn't worked out. Neither has HIS idea of Dempster in the closer position. Of course that recent trade of Hawkins for Aardsma and Jerome Williams....that's been a real clunker too. What is the record of the Cubs TEAM? What has Williams or Aardsma brought to this TEAM? How do you know it was Hendry's idea to use Dempster as a closer? About 20 people here suggested it last year. When one evaluates the Cubs TEAM one needs to look at the big picture. IMO Hendry hasn't done enough and I think the results pretty much speak for themselves.

    And they are the consummate company men! Imagine how bad it really must be now. Exactly. It is time to seperate the keepers from the cast-offs. Cast-off #1a and #1b has to be Baker and Rothschild. They need to see who has value and who doesn't and start building for next year and beyond. I also wouldn't object that much if Hendry was fired as well. He built this mess.

    If the Astros acquire Dunn I don't see how their window is shutting. If anything it is opening. They have: Berkman, Taveras, Ensberg, Backe, Oswalt, Pettitte (a little past his prime), Everett, Lane, Lidge, and Duckworth. If Dunn is added that is a pretty decent nucleus on which to build.
  19. CubinNY
    I know it won't happen but earlier today I was thinking. The ASB would be the perfect time to fire Baker and his staff if this poor play continues. Right after the last game. Then the team could start over like it is the begining of the year.
  20. CubinNY
    Vance has a doppleganger.
  21. CubinNY
    As Chevy Chase would say, "Don't sell 'em short that are a very shabby team." I kid. I know it's been said before and will be again, but what this team needs is a change at the top. Not the top of the batting order but at the top of the dugout steps, that Mr. Baker and Mr. Rothschild. Dick Pole has to go too. They should fire everyone. Send a message. This team has the players to be a playoff calibur team and they haven't played like it for a year and a half. It is time for a change.
  22. CubinNY
    yukie poo poo!
  23. CubinNY
    With the ASB approaching what Corey needs is to get away from baseball for a few days. The Cubs should find a way to place him on the DL for about a week. Right now his problems are as much mental as they are physical. I really feel bad for him.

    Post in more threads (while intoxicated), plz. Great. With Raisin's new avatar it's going to feel like he's yelling every post. I WAS CONSIDERING MAKING ALL MY POSTS IN CAPS. Is that Steven A. Smith? I'M TELLING YOU....HE'S GOT A RADIO SHOW ON THE LOCAL ESPN AFFILIATE IN NY......ALL HE DOES IS.....YELL...AND CONSTANTLY....REPEAT....HIMSELF....AND YELL....WITH LOTS OF LONG PAUSES IN BETWEEN....WORDS AT WEIRD TIMES. DID I MENTION....HE REPEATS HIMSELF..............A LOT.
  25. CubinNY
    right. Torre abused him and now he is done.
