    Its Hendry were talking about here so: 1. Smartest option who have the largest impact - Dunn 2. Poorest option who'll have no impact whatsoever (unless the Phillies are back on schedule) - Conine Given these options I believe its pretty clear who's going to end up as a Cub.

    Williams brings nothing to the table - the Cubs should hammer this guy tonight, no excuses.

    Hendry's idiocy knows no bounds. I guess the facts that Pagan doesn't know the number of outs which end an inning nor does he take good paths to ball or Jones losing several balls in sun/night don't suggest a need for a defensive upgrade in CF.

    A rookie positional call up can have a positive impact, right? Its allowed isn't it?

    I know hindsight is 20/20 but, given the Cubs have gotten next to nothing from CF, how bad would it have been to have left Pie in CF? Their record would quite probably be the same and I'm fairly certain Pie would have begun to make adjstments and improving at this point. Thereby, taking care of the CF question.

    I'm beginning to think Hendry was fooled by July into thinking the Cubs didn't need another bat. The can't afford to take on payroll argument is an empty one - to the billionaire(s) who are going to purchase the Cubs an extra million is a drop in the bucket. Futhermore, why wouldn't he go for broke? To be known as the GM who helped the Cubs to a WS title would be unmatched. Also, he's gone with the new ownership, I don't think there's a much of a question. Given this the most plausible conclusion is actually believes they don't or didn't need another bat.

    Facing more bad pitching tomorrow I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Cubs score two runs before the 9th inning. And maybe we'll learn the answer to what'll happen first a Cub HR or a Cub catcher throwing out a base runner. I'm leaning strongly towards the latter.

    I figured it would be a case of pick your poison a Floyd K or, if he somehow drew a BB, a Lee K (that's coming next inning).
  9. gflore34
    I'm calling it now a Cub will put the ball in play next inning.

    But, but Cedeno and Murton tore it up at Iowa, isn't that enough? The Cubs, the only team in Baseball with guys who tear up the minor leagues but, can't manage to hit their weight in the big leagues.
  11. gflore34
    I believe he should be sent back to Iowa perhaps, he can help them to the PCL Championship.

    The whole can't add payroll argument is an empty one, to the billionaire(s) who are going to purchase the Cubs, a few extra million is a drop in the buckett.

    Ryan fricken Ludwick has hit a HR tonight, and not a single Cub can manage deep fly ball off the soft tossing junk baller.

    What'll happen first a Cub hitting a HR or a Cub catcher throwing out a base runner?
  16. gflore34
    Well, at least the Theriot leads off next inning, and after a base hit, we'll get to see/hear Cedeno GIDP.
  17. gflore34
    He tore it up @ Iowa? Let me clairify, is there any reason to play him in Chicago?
  18. gflore34
    Beyond an injury is there any justifible reason for playing Cedeno?

    Pretty hard to forget about this game when you lose Soriano for perhaps a month. Sori will be missed but it's not like he was constantly on base or driving in a lot of runs. The Cubs might actually be better off in the short run with someone else leading off. It makes our already light-power hitting OF even worse. I fail to see how this is going to benefit us. You knew something like was going to happen to further magnify Hendry' unwillingness or inability to get another bat before the trade deadline. uhh.. No we didnt. Where did you get your crystal ball? I don't have crystal ball but, the only luck the Cubs seem to have is bad luck. Things were going too well for something bad not to happen.

The Cubs might actually be better off in the short run with someone else leading off. Yes they may but, it is the Cubs, and something good coming of Soriano' injury? There's about as much a chance of that happen as there is Jason Kendall throwing out a base runner.

    It'll be at least month quite probably longer...
  23. gflore34
    C'mon its the Cubs, its going to the worst possible outcome, you can book it.
  24. gflore34
    You know, I could care less about Tom Galvine, his wife, his father, his mother, his great grandmother, his second cousin, his kindergarten teacher and any other references to him or his family.
  25. gflore34
    The most disappointing aspect of tonights game is not that the Cubs lost and blew a chance to take first but, their playoff chances ended with Soriano' injury. I don't know all the details but, I do know this the Cubs and things such as an injury to key player never work out well. By the way what's with the two strikes zones tonight? One for Glavine and one for the Cubs?
