  1. As has been said many times, his signing has had an indirect impact on the Cubs performance. The fact is that the Cubs are paying $2.5M for a position that could be filled (and almost certainly better) for the league minimum. I sure would have liked to see that extra $2M+ spent somewhere else where it could have mattered.
  2. Hopefully Lou is the one getting canned This really isn't Lou's fault. Blame the architect of the team. Not even that. A lot of injuries + an bad off season from Soriano. Their is nothing wrong with the architect of the team. A bad offseason from Soriano? What does that even mean?
  3. WWTCD... What would the Cardinals do? The answer to that question is score 6 runs this inning, so let's get this started.
  4. It sucks that I can easily see the Cubs being 4 or more games down by the end of this week.
  5. This was certainly not Wells' best outing, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that he didn't have anything today. There were several bloop hits and defensive mistakes.
  6. Bradley is going to hurt someone doing that.
  7. To bunt, and most likely pitch another inning. Isn't he near 100 pitches already? Don't we already have two pitchers hurt? Not sure about the pitch count, but we have to save the bullpen dude.
  8. To bunt, and most likely pitch another inning.
  9. Holy horrible call, Batman. That was about as bad as it gets.
  10. A team would be hard pressed to have a worse offseason than the Cubs, but the Blackhawks are giving them a run for their money.
  11. Is that your expert medical opinion, Dr. Davis ? It has nothing to do with my medical opinion actually.
  12. I think Zambrano absolutely has to go on the DL. This team can't afford him to get scratched again or pulled early. Since they can make his DL stint retroactive to his last start, he would only miss 1-2 starts.
  13. I think it is pretty fair to say that Hendry severely misjudged this year's free agent market, both in the players he targeted and the contracts he offered them. Miles is a glaring example only because his performance has been so terrible, but Bradley and Dempster were similarly overpaid.
  14. Harden as closer is one of the more intriguing ideas that I've heard, but there is no way the Cubs are going to throw him into that role in the playoffs with no prior experience.
  15. Whether he has the talent to be a quality major league pitcher or not, he is never going to reach his potential in his current role. The Cubs need to decide whether he is going to be a starter or reliever, then let him work on it in the minors. Recalling him in a panic to rot in the Cubs bullpen isn't helping him or the team.
  16. What'd he say? He's usually not that subtle about it. After praising Rolen for having a good "feel for the game", Soriano got picked off and Brenly said "See what I mean about having a feel for the game?"
  17. Brenly with a nice semi-subtle dig at Soriano there.
