Henry or Andres? I'll take both. -
Can Ricketts just fire Hendry now and get it over with?
-
When will people stop calling him the ace? I heard Len say that again at the beginning of tonight's broadcast, but when has Zambrano ever been the team's ace?
-
Wrong. It's almost as if Lou wants to lose.
-
I would keep Fox in the supersub role next year, looking toward giving him a chance at 1B in 2011 if he continues to hit. I wouldn't be opposed to trading him in the offseason, but it would have to be part of a significant deal.
-
The big question is whether Lou really wants to return, or does he just not want to lose out on the money from the last year of his deal? I get the impression that he doesn't want to go through another year of this and would be perfectly happy with some sort of buyout agreement on the last year of his contract. Especially if he thinks that Ricketts wants to go another direction, why would Lou step away willingly and leave all that money on the table?

Lous a freaking idiot Part 2 2009 season
Irrelevant Dude replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I can't find the exact quote, but several radio shows today mentioned Lou's comments that he planned to "stick with his veterans" down the stretch. Bradley has been ok, but how can Lou honestly think that Soriano in LF gives the Cubs a better chance to win right now than Fox? I understand that Soriano is making a lot of money, but it should be about winning baseball games. First there was the barrage of excuses (high altitude, big ballparks, injuries, etc.) and now Lou is falling back on blind loyalty for veteran players. When did he turn into Dusty Baker? -
Good thing we have been running Soriano out there repeatedly huh. Yep. Fox needs to be out there everyday for a couple reasons. First of all, he gives us much more consistent offensive performance than Soriano and a better chane to win this year. More importantly, we really need to see him play for a long stretch to get a better idea of what we can count on him for next season. It's pointless to continue to run Soriano out there hoping that he gets hot.

"Ball 1, 1 and 2" as the batter is walking back to the dugout after the 3rd strike.
-
If its not at Wrigley, it wont matter. September 7-9 in Pittsburgh. I know because I have tickets to all 3 games and planned a vacation around it. What an unfortunate decision...
-
Poor Ricketts. This must have really been a downer to what started out as a pretty good day.
-
I'm putting my cap on so I can tip it.
-
The last one wasn't close.
-
We sure showed them. Our left handed bats are dominating this series.
-
Jonathan Broxton. As Mark Grace used to call him, "The biggest man in the world."
-
Maybe, but for a defensive replacement and 1-2 starts a week, we could do a whole lot worse.
-
Now Marmol is getting hit hard too? Great.
-
Eh, same result. Not true. I'm pretty sure Miles would have squibbed the ball to 2B instead.
-
Baseball instincts. He's stealing 2nd base. He has no idea that the ball got away from the catcher. I don't understand how you can fault him for this. It wasn't a hit and run, so he wasn't looking in to see the pitch. Well, he did peak back a couple times.
-
Baseball instincts.
-
I see no reason why we can't slot him in as our 4th or 5th outfielder next season.
-
Fuld should have played for Soriano. Hopefully that will be the case soon if Piniella's comments mean anything. What were those comments?
-
Don't we expect/hope that Vitters will be ready to take over 3B in 2 years?
-
Last Offseson"Get lefthanded", this Offseason is....
Irrelevant Dude replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I completely disagree here. I believe we need to rely on the minor league system for depth, rather than spending a lot of money on reserve players. As we have seen this year, our cheap minor leaguers have been as good or better than any of our veteran reserves. Even with injuries, depth hasn't been the problem this year. The problem is the bullpen and lack of competent starters at C, 2B, and LF. -
I found my answer on Cubs.com. I originally planned on waiting until as close to the deadline as possible to see whether the game was going to mean anything, but after watching the past few games I have my tickets sealed up in an envelope and ready to mail.
