Throw a damn fastball! When did Marmol become Michael Wuertz? -
Awesome. If there is one thing that results in good baseball, it is intensity.
-
I'm not willing to make that conclusion. Quade has been awful. Sandberg may very well have been just as bad, but I doubt he could have been much worse.

Major market teams don't trade away cornerstone players for prospects. Aramis just turned 33 years old. Do you really think the Cubs will compete for a World Series ring in the next 2 years or so when he could still be a major contributor? If the answer to that question is no, then trading him for prospects seems like a good idea to me. I'm not opposed to picking up the option, or even giving him a 2-year extension in place of the option, but if the Cubs can get good value in return for him then I'm all for it. They may have to spend the same amount of money to attempt to replace him, but then they will have replaced him plus gained young talent in return. It all comes down to whether the Cubs are going to continue to try to patch teams together or if they may actually commit to building for a few years down the road.

20 games under .500. Have we hit rock bottom yet?
-
Thanks ump. Brenly is right. How does a guy miss that call when he is in perfect position and staring right at it?
-
Yep, that's Randy Wells for you.

Levine: Hendry secure but firesale could begin
Irrelevant Dude replied to Men in Blue's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
quade's performance? he was given a mediocre roster that suffered a lot of injuries, so they turned into a downright bad team. granted, quade has managed those bad players poorly, but i really hope they weren't pinning this poor year on mike quade. the guy just doesn't matter that much. Yeah, I really don't care if Quade came back for his final year, but if him getting the boot means that Hendry would be gone, well, then it's bye-bye Mike. Exactly. I think Quade has done a terrible job of managing, but a majority of the blame still lies on Hendry. -
I hate to say it Fred, but I think you are speaking into the void.

I don't know whether this has been posted, but according to Boers & Bernstein, each of their sources are telling them that Mike Quade is nearly 100% certain to be gone after this season. They also discussed that Jim Hendry may have survived another season if not for Quade's performance, but there is no way the Cubs will allow Hendry to hire a 4th manager, so it is extremely likely that the Cubs will be starting fresh next season (once again with the possible exception of Crane Kenney on the business side) -
I'm glad you've come around on this. It's really disheartening to watch. do you not remember people booing the [expletive] out of jeff blauser and steve buechele? Todd Hundley too. And no, no one booed them. They were booing the brown guys standing next to them. Yes, thank you! I really cannot thank you enough for backing me up in all of this! It's a noble cause we're fighting for, and by God, we'll fix things one of these days! Which cause is that? Playing the race card when it has no business being played? I'm not naive enough to believe that racism no longer exists, but I do believe that most Cubs fans are smart enough to boo the player's performance, not his race.
-
wut? When Quade finally pulled Wood he barely got a smattering of boos, despite reloading the bases and giving up 2 more runs himself. There's a pretty clear distinction between who gets really booed at Wrigley and who doesn't. [expletive] white players rarely get anything close to what the non-white ones get when they [expletive] up. Ok Milton.

Why is Marmol still pitching?
-
Un-F******-Believable.
-
If Marmol wasn't already untouchable at the trade deadline, he is definitely making sure that nobody wants to touch him.
-
.... and a midget douche, at that ! Also leader for most uncomfortable bottom of the 7th interview. Never seen them kick someone out after 1 batter. That was painful. I'm glad they gave him the hook when they did.

Deadspin's 100 worst MLB players in history
Irrelevant Dude replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in General Baseball Talk
I got a kick out of this one: I can only imagine the groan coming from Brenly as a player misses not one but two bases on his way to third. -
Is it just me or has Hollandsworth really improved over the past couple seasons? He is relatively tolerable in the booth.
-
What did he say???? Mostly just moans and groans.
-
Bob has had enough.
-
Just wait until September.
-
Tip your cap.
-
Don't stop now boys!

What the hell was that Campana???

Who is "everyone"? Marlon Byrd and Kerry Wood? If Hendry is waiting for them to turn the team around, he is even dumber than I thought.
