    With the Cubs bullpen now coming into play, just curious, any chance for rain in Mlwaukee and that someone could puncture a large hole in the Miller Park roof? Could be the Cubs only chance.

    Fire Hendry and hire Bruce Miles. Bruce has three things going for him that Hendry doesn't - Knowledge of what's important, an open mind and a sense of humor. All three are very important when dealing with the train wreck known as the Chicago Cubs. Bruce Miles

    These developments can't be helpful to Dean's lawsuit. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2888691

    Greg Couch talked to Kevin Towers and found his philosophy on building a successfull bullpen differs greatly from Hendry's - his bullpen results differ greatly from Hendry's as well. Think there is a connection? http://www.suntimes.com/sports/couch/408464,CST-SPT-greg31.article

    Other than those minor details, he's a huge asset to the Cubs. :roll:

    Why won't Bruce Froemming admit he missed the third strike call on the 27th batter ruining Milt Pappas' perfect game?

    Firing Hendry now would send a mesage to the entire organization that incompetence will not be tolerated at any level. It would also give a new GM a head start on evaluating the current talent and situation. Finally, a new GM could make decisions based on what is best for the long-term and not be forced to stick with Hendry's guys.

    People have a right to sue anyone they want. People also have a right to criticize lawsuits they feel are without merit. It's called Freedom of Speech and is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

    Anheuser Busch - for producing the product that contributed to his death The Cardinals - for serving beer in the clubhouse Teammates - For not stopping him from drinking Tony La Russa - For the great example he set Patrons at Shannons - For not stopping him from drinking Nancy Reagan - because "Just Say No" didn't work work with him Himself - For wasting the courts time with a lawsuit when he should be out lecturing high school students on the evils of drunk driving.

    I wanted Jim Leyland and Dave Dombroski (before he was extended) two years ago. How have they done with the Tigers?
  12. The Voice of Reason
    At least there is the farm system Hendry has built and oversees to fall back on. :roll: Only one prospect (Pie) ranked in the top 50. http://www.projectprospect.com/top-50-update-52207/

    Jim's $136 million investment looked pretty good today. :roll:

    So continue on arguing that the tow druck driver and stalled car owner have a right to be sued, but you will continue to make fools of yourselves. you really don't get it, do you? There is nothing really to get. You are in the minority. Pretty much 99% of baseball fans agree bringing the tow truck driver and stalled car owner to court is assinine. But carry on. i'd rather be in the minority and be right than be in the majority and be wrong. The problem is you are in the minority and wrong.

    well I covered every single issue in that article in my previous post, so maybe you should attempt a rebuttal, because you present no new argument as to why calling this suit frivolous isn't premature at best, or where my reasoning is flawed. my post involves some intricate topics regarding the practice of law and our judicial system. sorry I couldn't sumarize it more succinctly for you, and I'm more sorry you chose to ignore some insight as to how the system really words and instead rely on Bryan Burwell, whoever the hell he is. Bryan Burwell is just a dumb sportswriter out of St. Louis (not a smart lawyer like you) so I guess his opinion (that differs from yours) shouldn't be taken seriously. I'll let the Chicago Tribune (who thought enough of his article to run it in their Sunday edition) know that jjgman21 doesn't agree with Mr. Burrell or even know who he is. I'm sure they'll retract the article. Counselor, let me offer a final summation on this matter. Josh Hancock was stupid punk. His father Dean is proving to be an even bigger jerk. As for Dean's headline-grabbing, money-grubbing lawyer, it's obvious he has only one interest in this case - finding out how deep Shannon's pockets are so he knows how much he can pick.

    Way to fix the bullpen Hendry. Your pen looked great last night.
  17. The Voice of Reason
    dude, you have to give Hancock's Dad's lawyer a call since you are obviously a fact witness in this case. me thinks you should rethink your user name. Dude - The police released videotape of the crash, which showed a fair amount of traffic that night. http://www.aolsportsblog.com/2007/05/02/surveillance-video-of-josh-hancock-crash-released/ Now that I know my screen name bugs you, I'll never change it. then answer my other post. I don't have time to write a ten paragraph rebuttal. I think Bryan Burwell summarizes my position pretty clearly. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/columnists.nsf/bryanburwell/story/1FBF0AE27864112A862572E600125E84?OpenDocument

    Anybody else wonder why the hundreds of other cars that passed the tow truck during the time it was parked on the road didn't ram into it? Possibly because the drivers of the other cars weren't over double the legal alcohol limit, high as a kite, talking on a cell phone and in a hurry to continue drinking.

    if hancock wasn't drunk and the tow truck driver/driver was negligent, would you be ok with suing them? Perhaps, but I see no negligence in this circumstance. well, if a guy on the internet who read a couple articles about it doesn't see any negligence then why even have a trial? im sure abuck12345 is an experienced lawyer on the other hand, right? since you want to be a dick about it, i graduated from law school two weeks ago. A lawyer who has never practice law - the most dangerous type there is. Huh? Think they know everything but have no practical legal experience. There is a lot more to the practice of law than what you learn in a law book. that's a pretty idiotic thing to say. you don't know me at all, and i am far from thinking i know everything. what did i say that wasn't accurate or what about this case is so beyond my simple mind? Dude - relax, I was just pulling your chain. If you are going to start practicing law, you better get used to it. It's called being a Junior Associate.

    How about naming himself in the lawsuit as a father who couldn't raise his son to be a responsible and law abiding human being? Geez, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree does it.
  24. The Voice of Reason
    I guess Jacque Jones would have to be considered good by someone (other than Hendry) to make the overrated list.

    Bartender, I'll have whatever KyleJRM is drinking.
