The reason he did not address LF or closer last off-season was because the Tribune told him to get rid of Sosa and put a limit on what he could spend. The Sosa saga lasted 4 months and by then there was really no one left to sign. Sorry, Beltran was available but he is an overrated money hound. Hendry could not have signed him even if he wanted to because the Tribune would never allow it. Same thing for J.D. Drew and Magglio Ordonez. Hendry has his hands tied by the Tribune so I really can't fault him for not spending in the off-season. Hendry has made plenty of mistakes the last two years but the Tribune is always the main culprit for our continued mediocrity. At least IMO they are.

Here is the definition of maling it in. Eric Milton had retired FIFTEEN staight batters before Nomar's single.

If I were at the game I would have left after the Reds scored a touchdown. Not sure why you'd subject yourself to this minor league team on a 95 degree day and spend money doing it.

If it weren't for some of the picture signatures of Hendry and Baker, I might be in a foul mood. Those pics are just hilarious!

I'll say this. A managerial change will do nothing to change the team this year. IMO, there is no way you can bring Baker back next year, no way at all.

1997 and 2002 were terrible years but this is far worse in terms of talent and expected results. It's really reaching for us to come down on Hill, who never, ever should have seen the big club this year.

3 bases loaded walks in this inning alone. They should be bood until they can't hear anymore.

I am sorry for being optimistic earlier, clearly the players have mailed this season in, which should be grounds for them losing they're paychecks. Am I out of bounds for now thinking we might finish in last place?

Rothschild will not be back. He actually should be the first to be canned.

5-1 and still no one out. As for the F/A list, I'd like the Cubs to make a play for AJB from Florida and Wagner from Philadelphia. I can't believe we have fallen this far. Surely Hendry is running out of excuses for himself and Baker. I won't spend a dime on this team right now.

How embarrassing. The kid should be sent down as he is clearly not ready for the bigs yet. To quote Santo- "Geez!"

Oh boy. I think we lead the league in walking batters.

That's a good point... can we expect a lot of changes this off season? or is hendry gonna play the collapse to an overused bench, and injured starters? also, what kind of free agents are lined up for the off season? or is it too early to tell? http://www.mlb4u.com/teamfa.html

Maybe the organization wants what happened to Sosa to happen to Corey? I doubt that is the case. Corey is not a jerk and he certainly isn't a cheater or quiter. I do think he will be traded in the off-season. That's just my opinion.

Corey fans and the fans boo him. I really don't think this was a good time to feed Corey to the animals. The fans are on edge as it is and he has always been a whipping boy for them. It's sad.
