It really is depressing. Just sickening.

So, have we ever heard anything on Kerry?

Good god I hope so... So when Izterrible loses his job, that will be 4 Mil on the bench, add in extra $$$ that Floyd will get, plus the $$$ Prior is getting...we will have a ton of dead money. Money that could have been used to close the Zambrano deal before the tribune sale. This is why Jim Hendry is one of the worst GM's in the game. 329-339 I wonder what some of the sub .550 guys could have done with the Cub's payroll.

How to piss aways 100 million dollars a year: My time as The GM of the Chicago Cubs.

Oh jeeesh. Dusty sends out Wood and Prior in games 6&7....they both lost. The players lost that series. Not Baker. He was ok for the season...and the series against the Braves.....just that Marlin series eh? Im not a Dusty fan either.....but blaming him for anything and everything....is.....just wrong. Yeah like maybe if he had a half of a brain we pitch to Lenny Harris in game one and we sweep. But, no Dusty, in his infinite wisdom, decides to attack Mike Lowell. But, your right. In a short series your manager should force you to win 5 games instead of the 4 because he doesn't ever want to admit he was wrong carrying Lenny Harris around as a starter for half the year. Or maybe he could have looked across the diamond during game 7 and seen Beckett relieving. He possibly could have thought, hey Z could do that. But, wait man we got to save Z for game one of the world series. That we never made it to. Or perhaps in game 6 when Bartman touches the ball and Alou throws a hissy fit, our manage sees a 22 year old kid on the mound and says, hey I should pry go out and talk to him to tell him no harm done. But, nope we let him fight through that one on his own. Then 8 runs later we are cooked. Your are right though Dusty definately managed that series flawlessly. How silly of me to think that he screwed us royally in that series.

Don Zimmer is the best. He was not too conservative like our others. Bases loaded nobody out. Hell hit and run.

I still love Mark and Kerry. They did what no Cubs pitchers have done since '08. They got us a series win in the playoffs. I only wish that someone other than Dusty managed that series against the Marlins. Had we got to the Yankees and won the World Series, this would hurt a lot less now.

Yeah there is no way this ends well for the Cubs. Thanks Jim. Although it doesn't matter to him I guess, after this year he will be gone as well.

Yet, the Cardinals with largely a collection of crap will win 90 games. Nah they won't they suck too. Even Larussa can't fix this mess. They will be lucky to get to .500

Sadly I think we are still gonna lose 90 games this year.

Anyone not see that pujols homer coming?

Says the guy whose favorite team got Scott Rolen for Placido Polanco and Bud Smith. Or Mark McGwire for a bag of balls. Comparing the Phillies organization and the trades that team makes to the Marlins is extremely disrespectful to the Marlins. Well I didn't compare them. That was taken from another thread where he said Jacque Jones had no trade value. The Marlins don't want Pujols. They can't afford Miggy, how would they ever be able to pay for Pujols? Miggy, if traded, will be an Angel or Dodger.

We always have the chase for the 1st pick.

I hope Pujols dies.

Well then that would make Brandon Wood expendable.

I disagree. If Pujols performs like this the rest of the year (highly unlikely) than the Cardinals won't finish within sight of the top of the division. They have no other offense, their ace is banged up, and Looper will get figured out as the season continues. Our pythag has us just around .500. Just around .500 will be within sight of the division (probably). It won't win it, but it will be within sight. Oh yeah your garbage will continue to overachieve. It's the way it is supposed to be.

Maybe he should be as good as Rich Hill. DId you ever think of that? Huh? Did You? Rich never loses.

Why I did? I still am allowed to watch good teams too.

0-4, you friggin genius. I mean hoestly, let's face it, Dusty Baker ruined Matt Murton. I sincerely hope thats sarcasm.....Please let that be sarcasm. Actually, I agree. Dusty preached "aggressiveness" in the batters box, and Murton gradually began swinging at the first pitch. Dusty caused him to regress, but how can you say he's ruined with the year he had last year? I thought you were disagreeing about Dusty's impact. You're right, he's not "ruined", but he's having trouble getting back to his patient self, that's for sure. Ah, it's a slump and he is pressing. Nothing more. He will be himself again soon.

and split. only because of the awesomeness that is Rich Hill Ted Lilly has given up a total of 3 runs in his last 2 starts and has lost both Yeah. But, what are you gonna do? This is what we get when we sign up to be Cubs fans. TED LILLY'S BRAIN: I have 3 years and 6 months more of this? Just watch. His next start he'll give up 5 or 6 runs and get the win. I don't think we will score that many runs the rest of the year. :P

His ass needs to be in Double A. He's complete garbage. He's become Neifi with a better glove. No even Neifi hit above .100
