Grudzielanek down for the count

Aaron Herr... any relation to Tommy Herr? Someone had to ask. :) Father/Son -
I predict a four game sweep for the Cubs against the Cards. Only to be followed by another 7 game losing streak.

These Cubs are just like a horse with a broken leg...

Larry the Cable Guy had a horse with a broken leg, so he shot it. Now he's got a horse with a broken leg and a gun shot wound. :lol: -
What we have here is just 78 pages of "Dusty Being Dusty!!"

BACK UP THE TRUCK! BACK IT UP! Turn this place into a parking lot. Don't blame Wrigley Stadium, er Field, for the poor play being performed on it. Wrigley is a true baseball shrine.

I've never had a harder time of watching the Cubs...

This is the post that I wasn't able to put into words. It seems to exactly describe the Cubs situation. If the players are underachieving, it could be directly related to the atmosphere described above. How can the players be motivated when Dusty is consistently making poor decisions? -
Is Ricky Henderson available?

Dusty didn't look like he believed what he was saying during the interview.

I hate Dusty. He's worthless. **Scoop Jackson**What? You must be racist. If it were Bobby Cox you wouldn't say that. **Scoop Jackson** If it were Bobby Cox, Murton would have at least started a few times this past week. If Bobby Cox were the Cubs manager Neifi and Holla would be anchored to the bench, and the Cubs would probably be leading the WC. Just think if Dusty was managing the Braves. He could have 50 year old Julio Franco playing center field. :D

Interesting... I remember the majority of us Cub fans on cubs.com were excited about getting the "Dustbuster" too, even while SF fans were warning us about everything we're now complaining about. :? Does anyone remember the circumstances of Dusty's leaving SF. Wasn't the team successful, but they didn't try to keep him?

Let's hope your prediction comes true. I for one would celebrate if that happened. There's the post of the year. Hoping for a Cub loss. I hate Perez, but I don't hope he goes 3 for 55 just so he might sit. Hoping for a loss is just as bad as players quitting. Hoping for one loss which would cause Baker to be fired would be a godsend for the fans and players of this team. I don't really think so - I bet if they ran a poll on "should Dusty be fired" on chicagosports.com he'd still get a majority of support. I do think his firing would make a very vocal minority happy - and I think it'd make the generally silent majority roll their eyes less at the vocal minority, who the majority would wish would stop obsessing over Dusty, at least in postal form. As far as the players, they are definitely Dusty fans. They would be very upset if he was fired and no manager could come in and get them to play great this year. I wonder if all of the players are still Dusty fans. As frustrated as the fans are with the varied line ups and game decisions, are the players losing confidence in Dusty's ability to put the team in a position to win day in and day out?
