C.C.

We go 1,2,3 on 15 pitches this inning.

April\May Cubs have returned! yippe!

Here's hoping the Brewers lose. I swear if we can't score more then a couple runs of this staff I'm punching something or someone...

I can't remember out last homer. Theriot I think. Was it Dlee?

I'm still amazed no one in this lineup can hit a flippin' homerun?

I bet Woody pitches into the 6th.

It was 35 after 1. It's now 45. Tie ballgame.

This team is just so clueless. We could've put the game away in the first.

Please don't insult Woody.

He simply shouldn't be on this team anymore, he's pathetic. It wasn't even a good pitch!

That's not a good thing.

Pathetic!!!! I blame that inning on JJ. What a stupid AB.

good god c'mon!

There's a difference between optimism and blind faith. Not every single move the Cubs make has to be defended. It's not. Patterson has had only 1 AB, and that was a bunt. Relax lets see what he does....

Eric Patterson is our best hitter? Damn straight! Did you see that perfect sac last night? How did you get into the locker room? HAHA! Classic!

How would you? You have three lefties. No matter what combo's you use two lefties would have to go back to back.

If a deal was to be made he would've. He's shown this in the past when we were in contention.

It was only an example. The point is dunn won't come cheap.

It depends what the Reds will demand for Dunn. They may ask for Gallagher knowing we are desperate.

Actuallty, the site has come a long way.

How many teams are above us? Right now, the Cubs are tied with L.A. and Philadelphia (have no idea how they handle waiver claims in that case). The teams in front of us are: Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Houston, Washington, Florida, St. Louis, Colorado Florida's out-salary issues. San Francisco and Pittsburgh seem unlikely-what would be the point? Houston and Colorado-probably not. That leaves Washington and St. Louis as the most likely teams to claim him, and I'm not sure the Cardinals have enough salary to make a claim (so basically they'd just be trying to block the Cubs, which I'm not sure they'd do). He'd pass through.

Just win you gutless idiots.

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. in any other business, management and executive-types, numbers-crunchers, etc. spend a lot of time trying to find out the reason why business is good when good and why bad when bad. they don't just sit back and say "well, i'm not looking a gift-horse in the mouth." this is why hendry is bad at his job, he doesn't ask questions. he's like homer simpson thinking that jack'o'lanterns futures will peak around the first of the year. for a guy who's spent much of his life in baseball, he doesn't seem to grasp the idea that the cubs offense cannot sustain itself without some home runs, nor can they keep hitting near .300 w/risp. things like this do not happen, they are fools gold, and hendry looks like the biggest fool of them all. I know this may seem like a wild idea, but perhaps his hands our tied with the sale of the Cubs? Maybe, just maybe he can't spend more money? Don't you think he could get Griffrey or anyone else he would've? i know it's a big thing of yours to disagree with me on pretty much everything, but i wasn't the one who made the argument that hendry could have made an acquisition before the deadline. i don't think he's good at his job, regardless of how much money he can or can't spend. do i think his hands were tied a bit at the deadline? sure. now, go ahead and change your stance on this topic so you can disgaree with me some more, plz. The comment was more for the person above you. I honestly didn't realize I disagree you as much as you say I do? Don't take it personal...
