    That's not true. Interim managers don't cause General Managers to get fired. If the team didn't perform well under the new manager, Hendry would have a chance to bring in a new manager at the end of the season and would have another couple years to decide his fate. It's either that or he extends Baker and they all go down with the ship together in another year or 2.

    How many teams have possibly their best pure hitter in the lineup batting 8th? And on top of that... the worst batting 5th?

    Z apparently doesn't take his mistakes quite as seriously as his teamates. Murton should have glared at the mound and flipped his glove in Zambrano's direction.

    Damn, I missed the "really wealthy club" meeting. :lol:

    I agree Dusty. 3 games under .500 is much better than 1 over.

    This is a quote from Barry Bonds' agent Jeff Borris in regard to the possibility of Bonds coming back next year: 1,000 home runs??? Is he insane? That's an average of about 35 home runs per season until the age of 50. Not even steroids can pull that off. Here's the link to the full story. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2438887

    Pierre got all of that one, look at it go. Must be the camo.

    Yet... The series isn't over!

    I'm getting to a point that I just want them to lose for however long it takes for Dusty to get fired. I know it's not all his fault, but it sure as hell wouldn't hurt. As I alluded to in another thread, if the Cubs lose tonite, it will be the fourth losing streak of at least 7 games in the past year under Dusty. That isn't good. In a year??? That's just terrible. I want to see a manager with some fire...when was the last time Dusty got ejected for arguing? When you're losing this much surely there's SOMETHING to argue and show your team that you have some fight in you... Even today, Steve Stone insisted that it's only a matter of time before Baker gets an extension. How can Hendry possibly sell that to the fans? If that happens, does anyone want to put together a protest outside Wrigley trying to deter fans from going into the park? It probably won't happen, but we might get some pub for it. Perhaps a Homer Simpson-esque hunger strike while chained to the Harry Caray statue?

    I don't know about that, but with the Mets finally headed in the right direction I think we may have stolen away the title of "dollar for dollar the worst team in baseball."
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    We got our one. Good game guys. *High five*
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    There's only one man who could light a fire under this Cubs team right now... You guessed it, Andres Nocioni!
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    Not sure how much more of this I can take... I'm going to adopt a new 2nd team to follow and I think I'm gonna go with the Diamondbacks. Who's with me?
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Who would of thought that if we still had Patterson he would be our #2 outfielder?
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Not by much, but Yes..he's a better hitter than Guzman or Hill. That makes him better than Hairston, too. Which by default puts him above Brynum. Ahh, the transitive property at its best.

    And they don't even take the field to "Jump" anymore. I haven't been to a game yet this year, but it's not going to be the same when they run out to "Hit me baby one more time" or whatever the song of the month happens to be. :roll:

    Jody Davis??? :D
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    I'm pretty much there. Better a catastrophic failure followed up by house cleaning than another mediocre season that brings back the same staff and players next year.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    On 3 days rest, not likely. :D
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    I would still like to see another rehab start. He'll be lucky to make it 5 innings in a major league start with a 70-80 pitch limit.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Did I hear the announcers say that his velocity has been between 89-92 and hit 94 a few times? If so, I know he's pitching well but that doesn't sound good!
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    He'll be brought in for the ever important 4 run save.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Another Saturday night well spent!
