what gets cabrera?
BigbadB replied to seattlecub's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Agreed. When do the Cubs get in the bidding for one of the best players in baseball. Hendry wouldn't recognize the talents of Cabrera if they slapped him in the face. Dope isn't something the Marlins need. Their at least 2 deep at 1b. I'm sure a few more Ricky Nolasco's would interest them quite a bit, however. Florida will want 3 or 4 can't miss prospects. -
Just so everyone is aware of my Hendry like move. When "Big Skirt" went on the DL, I picked Craig Monroe back up and slotted him in at Utility, which is where BS was at. Monroe isn't playing (which is a shame, since he probably could have done some nice damage against Rusch), so I dropped him to pick up Mike Jacobs. Basically, I'm on my third Utility guy this week.

I'll be watching because I think I've now seen every episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" and they just aren't as funny the 2nd time around. The only thing as funny as Raymond are Dusty's blunders and one liners. And I need my laughter fix.
-
Nicely done. Send this to all the Chicago newspapers. Send it to the Cubs front office. Ask for an explanation. Tell them the season ticket holders demand an explanation.

Dusty will still be managing then? Ughh

Is it worse to be a Cubs, Royals, D-Rays or Pirates fan?
BigbadB replied to dalgreen's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If the Cubs don't want to care about winning, then go back to what made it okay to not win. Drop the payroll down to 15-20m, make seats affordable again, and make youth and solid, fundamental baseball the focus and call it a day. Paying a ridiculous amount of money to watch a team squander runs by poor throws, poor base running, hacking at pitches in the dirt, floating up batting practice to power hitters, etc... is really a poor business practice. The Marlins and Rays are way more enjoyable to watch than the Cubs. The Pirates and Royals are two pathetic organizations that have the potential to turn things around. If the Cubs are not currently interviewing MacPhail, Hendry and Bakers replacements yet, it's just one more strike against this organization. It's an absolute embarrassment. If I was running this team the way they are, I'd turn in my resignation. The predictions made by some earlier on that St. Louis would fall on their face without Pujols is not showing to be accurate, either. St. Louis scored more runs yesterday without Pujols than the Cubs can score in a whole series. CHANGE IS NEEDED NOW! -
Interesting quote by Girardi regarding Hanley Ramirez' struggles: From Rotoworld: "You have to learn how to fight and make adjustments in this game," Girardi said. "The more at-bats he gets, the quicker he's going to do it." So, Girardi wants a top prospect to play through the struggles, which in his opinion is part of the learning process apparently, while Baker wants to bench his top prospect for a never will amount to anything, crap player. What else can be said? Every player in this game was a rookie at one time. Many (if not most) struggled at one point or another. And I'm not quite sure if Murton is really to blame for his struggles.
-
Overpriced? How much are they charging these days to see the worst baseball team in the major leagues?
-
I'll have to go back and hunt for my predictions, but I believe I had: NY Mets Cardinals Dodgers Boston White Sox Seattle (still waiting on this long shot)

If Dan Uggla was with the Cubs this year...

And how many weeks after the start of the MLB season does the AA season begin? -
The Moral Of The Story (A Post Today's Game Thread)
BigbadB replied to Wheelimus's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Did you see the game? Everyone was hitting Rusch. He was fooling no one. The mistake was starting him at all. And 1.2 innings was way too long to leave him in. Other than that, I agree with a lot of what you say. -
Personnel Moves
BigbadB replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Any proposed personnel moves need to start with removing MacPhail, Hendry and Dusty. -
I'm guessing this thread has run its course. Tossing Glendon Rusch, the gas can lefty that he is, out on the mound against an almost all righty, power hitting team like Detroit with the wind blowing out, who couldn't predict how that would turn out? Angel Guzman, the clear cut, obvious choice to for the Friday start pitched quite well. Dusty should be fired today. Inexcusable stupidity. Plain and simple. And then Hendry and MacPhail should fire themselves.
-
So his point on this team is? Honestly, what is it? SOMEBODY TELL ME! I think he and Dusty have buttsecks. That is the only explanation for Dusty EVER letting him throw a pitch in the major leagues. :roll: Let's please keep it clean. This is a family site.
-
I think he was referring to the font size. Ah. Then apparently someone is drunk, just like the Cubs front office.
-
Apparently it disappeared just like the Cubs offense.
-
Cubs baseball is now funnier than "Everybody Loves Raymond", and that's one very funny show.
-
I don't wish to expand on this particular quote, though I wouldn't rule it out, entirely. But, has anyone noticed how much better the Cubs are this year now that their day schedule workload is much lighter? :roll: Remember that excuse?
-
Yeah, actually it is. And even though they have such a small payroll, at least that team is fun to watch. I can't say the same for the Cubs.
-
True.
-
I may be way off base here, although I doubt it, but I have this feeling that if Miguel Cabrera came up through the Cubs organization, he'd still be in the minors. Or at best, he would be a platoon partner with the great Freddy Bynum. FIRE THEM ALL! And I have another idea. Instead of spending 4m on a manager, spend 1m instead, and spend the other 3m on scouting in the DR, Venezuela and Japan. Just a thought.

The LF bleachers will be a great place to get souvineers off the bats of your favorite Detroit Tigers.
-
If that article doesn't raise some eyebrows in the front office, there is nothing left to say.
-
1-0? Okay, let's review what we know....... 25 MPH winds blowing out Gas can lefty on the hill Power hitting, all righty hitting team facing gas can lefty Cubs playing on WGN 1-0? I'll take that bet. :D
-
Pudge, Shelton, Maggs, Thames, Monroe, Guillen, Polanco, Inge and Infante, all RH hitters that are already salivating over the thought of facing Rusch on Friday. To say that this is like pouring gasoline on a bonfire is a huge understatement.
