wow not only that, but the vast majority (about 80% ) of the outs are to deep outfield pos. according to gameday is it windy in Wrigley today?? is the pope catholic?

Howry=Good

Paint That's why he can't hit, he's using a bat made of paint. that....and he sucks

85 pitches through 4...rusch is a little behind z's pace

These are some pretty obnoxious quotes. You don't have to be Sigmund Freud to see that Neifi wants Cedeno to fail. How about a link? Personally I wouldn't post something like this without letting people know where it came from. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-060306cubs,1,1825970.story?coll=cs-cubs-headlines

let us know if it is any good....i imagine the brant brown call is on there

i didn't see this posted anyhere.....great article http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/beatwriters.asp?column=miles&id=142443

Move them for what? A defensively-minded 2B is my guess. Yup, so we can have an even weaker lineup. That is Neifi's job to lose. how could he lose it....he saved us last year

thanks for the summary YearofDaCubs

that is what the phillies asked for according to this article.... http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/sports/13338004.htm

thanks for the update....

those guys at bbtn....you can't sneak anything past em

I am so annoyed by this part of the story. Their infatuation with a stereotypical leadoff man is going to bite them in the butt. You can't build a team like this. You have to find players for each position in the field, then let them hit wherever is best. Find a team with quality from 1-8 and you'll be much better than a team that goes hard after leadoff and settles for mediocrity from 2, 5 and 6. Try to assemble the best catcher, first base, second base, third base, shortstop, leftfield, center field and rightfield you can find, then put them in the best order. Don't limit yourself to a spot you've already admitted is close to barren in terms of availability. Hendry and Baker have spoken at length about the complete lack of the "true leadoff hitter" in today's game. That lack of supply drives up price when met with high demand. The Cubs irrationally high demand is making it harder for them to find a guy. Go out and get the best hitters you can find at CF and RF, and don't worry about the order, you'll score more runs and win more games. It's been painful to hear Hendry or Baker talk lately. Their narrow minded views will keep this team from getting better year after year. it's hard to believe that they could still be so narrow minded with so much proof to back up the newer beliefs....its like they are just blind to it

Wood is my favorite pitcher when he's healthy. wow...you must love pepto

The Cubs have 3 times as many injuries to pitchers as the Cardinals?? Unless Brown can play RF I don't see how he fits on the Cubs roster. sadly Brown would be better than what they have right now

i'll take 95 wins and a yearly playoff berth. the championship will take care of itself if you make it to the postseason consistently enough. a set of three short series is a crapshoot anyway. besides, the cubs aren't in 'fine tune to put the finishing touches on a world series team' mode right now anyway. they've spent giles money on three non-impact guys and haven't filled rf or ss yet. what do you mean? they signed neifi didn't they? :D
