The past week, has been hellish for us, and probably will go down as the one stretch that will start the massive overhaul of the cubs (hopefully). When you look at the team, and what needs to be done, even an idiot (yes Hendry) can see that the team that was put together this season is a terrible disaster in terms of how much money was used to no avail. To me, the following are very likely to happen from here on out: -Hendry will be fired -Some contracts that expire at the end of the season will be trade (hopefully many) -Many young players will start seeing time they desperately need for their development I think the 2nd half of the season will be alot more enjoyable than some people may think. After we jettison some players we have gotten sick of seeing (Eyre, Zambrano, Howry, Jones), you'll see fresh faces that will make you want to watch this team. Also, with the draft coming up, and Wilken at the helm, no doubt we'll have a decent showing with that high pick. Not to mention NEXT year, we will definately have a high pick again (especially if this team stinks it up to the max this coming month). Some things that I'm not holding my breath for, but we can be hopeful are that the new owner is someone that has what it takes to make this a winning team (I think cuban is out right?, maybe a steve stone headed ownership?). Also, hopefully we make the right hire for GM. My dream is that we throw a bunch of money at billy beane, but since that won't happen, someone who has a solid track record from OUTSIDE the organization would do. This team can be rebuilt, just like any other team. It's going to take some time, and the right set of moves, but I will have fun watching it happen (and it seems like its getting closer and closer to that point).

can we go ahead and say Derek Lee because he is impervious to the cub sukiness effect?

I guarantee that Beane would get us to the WS in less than 3 years.

IMO, its a foregone conclusion that when this miserable season is over, that Hendry will be out the door. The thing im wondering though is how will we ever be able to salvage the good things about this franchise; (Aramis, Lee, that #3 overall pick, etc..). What needs to happen to actually make this team, well good? Its painfull obvious the philosophy around the team, from top to bottom is very flawed, but can that change?

Scored a run. I'll take it. me too, im talking about the result after the ball kicked off, i was hoping for better, ah well.

ugh, lame result.

PATIENCE barret, pleassee

NICE!! CLIFF!

damn, just got in too, hows Z pitching?

omg i just got home, wow this is intense

considering the delay, you should have plenty of time to check out a box score ok, so murton hit a 3 run HR in the 7th? How come it says he only has 2 RBI? What are the the details if this game is called?

i left the game after utley's HR wtf happened?

Lee 2 run Hr?

IDK why hes starting, but he just had a great AB, that ended in a K tho. And soriano hit the first HR, followed by Aram's second the next inning.

question, is there a chance Price is to difficult for TB to sign, a la Miller, and we can snatch him up?

WICKED hop right at Theriot, handles it clean, athleticly runs at the runner tags him out, and somehow throws to 1b for the out in time.

RIOTGASM!

PORNSTACHE STEALS A BASE!

I was only around 13 at the time, but i vaguely remember that thread on cubs.com. Care to refresh my memory? Some Cards fan (hogcard was his name?) who was a frequent troll on cubs.com started up a thread by that title, complete with improper usage of "your" instead of "you're". The post was a poorly conceived argument that Z was going to hurt the cubs, and this was right before he really broke out into the pitcher he's become. Needless to say, as Carlos dominated the thread was bumped countless times to lampoon the initial post. right right, i definately remember hogcard. I can't believe i used to rely on that site for talking to cub fans. It did inspire my hatred of the cards and sox tho.

he said since he came back last year, not this year.
