If we had a real GM (one that wasn't distracted by the postgame spread), he might shut Lee down for the remainder of the season.

When asked about Kansas City, Jim Hendry replied, "They've got good barbecue there."

How long would it take to restock our minor league system?

Are you hopped up on the dope? -
You forgot: "Pass the gravy."

Q: What's the only difference between Adam LaRoche and Micah Hoffpauir? A: The organization they play for.
-
Look up a picture of Daniels' character and the appropriateness of the reference (beyond the dumb part) will become apparent.
-
"Harry" is Hendry (insert here a picture of Jeff Daniels' character from "Dumb and Dumber").
-
Jimy Williams will be our next manager. You can't take a chance on an unproven guy like Fredi Gonzalez! As far as players are concerned: Luis Gonzalez (to platoon with Murton) Mark Mulder (Hendry will say that he'll be ready by May) Tim Hudson and Ryan Langerhans (major trade - Marshall, Guzman, Pie, and Veal going the other way) Hendry will have some cotton candy.

I never said the Cubs aren't "one of the worst run organizations in professional sports", I'm saying they are not THE worst organization, but just ONE of the worst run orgnizations. There's a difference, Jeff. They are bad, but there are in the collection of really bad organizations, and you are singling them as they are the ONLY team that is run badly.[/u] I'm not singling them out. There are many franchises that are poorly run. However, none are run as poorly as the Chicago National League Ball Club.

Carlos is a Proven Veteran. He's a warrior. A horse. Of course our management will let him pitch if he wants to. RumDum will want to run him out there for a 165-pitch complete game to avoid being the manager of the only team that failed to have a complete game. Buffet Boy will be too distracted by the pastry cart to do anything about it. Andy, of course, will be out of the office - there's a early autumn sale on sweater vests at Marshall Field.
-
"RumDum" is one of my pet names for our manager. "Harry" is Hendry (insert here a picture of Jeff Daniels' character from "Dumb and Dumber").
-
Actually, they'll probably go 18-2 and Buffet Boy will give RumDum a two year extension. "Obviously, we're not happy with the way this season went, but we saw some encouraging signs these last three weeks. I feel I owe it to Dusty to let him finish what he started." - Harry Unfortunately, "what he started" is the process of turning the once "lovable losers" into the most despicable franchise in sports.
-
No inconsistency whatsoever. I wouldn't have signed him at all, but, if you're going to sign a rehabbing pitcher, there has to be some upside to the signing. Having signed Miller for 2006 gives the Cubs exactly ZERO advantage over the 29 other teams going into the '06-'07 offseason. Where's the upside?
-
As long as it's six or fewer, I'm good.
-
The Cubs signed Miller with no club option for next season. That means they are paying him $1M to let him use their rehab facilities and get some games in the minors and perhaps a few here in September so he can then leave as a FA to the highest bidder. Jim Hendry is dumb. Really, really dumb. I expect that he will further demonstrate said dumbness by outbidding all other bidders for the 2007 services of Miller.
-
When he was good, Miller was consistently 93-95 on the fastball (at least). I don't see him getting 5 mph back. He's toast.
-
And some people argue that this is not the worst organization in professional sports.
-
"Several years ago, we hit Miller around pretty good when he was a member of the Astros. Obviously, I still feel bad about that. So, to make amends, we have signed Wade to a three year, $24 million contract. It's the least we could do." - Jim "What's a comb?" Hendry
-
Miller's great!
-
Yes, because he had electric stuff. Now, he's Jon Lieber without the control, command, and sink on his fastball. In other words, he's breathing oxygen a good pitcher could be using. Of course, he'll do pretty well these last few weeks and Harry will sign him to a big deal.
-
Don't write RumDum off just yet! Harry Hendry might just bring him back!
-
Well, he has never shown the ability to do any of those things before. Maybe the shoulder injury will improve those aspects of his game.

Scouting and player procurement is average. Player development is garbage. -
Oooh! I'm sorry, but the answer was 'e) All of the above'. Thank you for playing our game.
-
SAT prep: Chris Carpenter is to Wade Miller as: a) The St. Louis Cardinals are to the Chicago Cubs b) Eva Longoria is to Rosie O'Donnell c) Bryce Canyon, Utah is to Camden, New Jersey d) A piece of beef tenderloin is to a plate of Scrapple e) All of the above
