The best thing to happen today would be a rain out.

Dierker for manager. I sit shotgun UK.

Sisco is already pitching for the Royals.
CubinNY replied to YearofDaCubs's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
JC and others argument withstanding, I agree with Dime. I don't know that he was a "fat jerk" but something obviously wasn't right when he was the Cubs property. I agree that this may have been a wake up call for him. It's a shame for the Cubs though. -
Right you are Vance. I'm no MD but after looking at the reply several times yesterday it looked to me like a hyper-extension. Usually that does not mean torn ligaments. MCL and ACL tears usually come fron twisting movements. However, I hyper-extension if it is bad enough could put him out for seveal months (if not the entire season). I know Hariston had a good spring but to me he doesn't have the skills of Walker. That said I hope he can ignite the offense at the top of the order and at the very least makes the line up more ballanced at the top (R,L,R,R,L).

Part of that may be due to him knowing he last to last later in the game, so he's holding back early. He was showing signs of being a decent reliever last year when he knew he was only going to be in for 3 batters at most. Now he has to hold back so he can throw 100 pitches instead of 15. He may never do it, but he has a lot of similarities with the typical failed starter with good stuff who makes it as a reliever. I still can't believe they spent that much time and effort turning him into a reliever and convincing people he could be a good reliever, and then put him back in the spot he's always sucked at. The fifth starter spot could be a problem for a while. Remember Dusty let Estes stink in that role for an entire year. I also agree Dempster good be a good middle inning/set up guy. That is two in a row, goony.

Why aren't you a manager or GM if you know what all the right moves are? Mr. Blue, Might I suggest that you refrain from clicking on any thread with a title such as this. It will save you some consternation and save someone else from the enivetable, "This is a message board we are aloud to criticize players, managers, GMs, and owners", reply.

From the read in the tribune it sounds like Wood will be ok. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-050310cubs,1,7663269.story?coll=cs-home-headlines

thanks :wtg:

Tim, Can you provide a link to the final standings? I want to see how bad my predictions were.
-
Yeah, I very highly doubt it. I view it this way.... Say you stink at your job. Your co-workers know it, your boss knows it. However, HIS boss thinks you're the greatest thing to ever come along. Would you feel secure in your job? Of course you would. And you could do whatever you want because you know you wouldn't get fired by your boss, because then his boss would fire him. It's the same thing with Hendry. I'm sure he'd like to buy Baker the next plane/train/bus ticket out of town, but the Tribune, who only looks at the 88 and 89 wins and thinks "Improvement!", thinks Baker is doing a fine job, and will keep him there for at least as long as he's under contract. Erik, Where do you get your information from?

Hey Tim could you put the link up for the contest. I can't find it. Thanks
