Are you [expletive] kidding me? You seriously think Milton Bradley, one man, has brought down every team he's been on? That he is THE reason that they do badly or underperform? You really think ballplayers are childish enough that they don't play well unless they like everyone on the team? You can't really be that dense. -
The bullpen was actually very average. Ideally, yes, you'd want it to be better, but it was nowhere near the disaster it seemed to be. It was simply exposed more often than you'd like with the ineffectual Cubs' offense failing time and time again to score runs when it was critical, leaving the bullpen to hold games longer than you'd like too often. Pitching ultimately was not the Cubs' problem last year, either with the starters or even the bullpen despite things like Gregg's flameout. The crappy end result of 2009 rests almost entirely with the offense underperforming.

... THE CUBS' BAD SEASON HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CHEMISTRY. Bad chemistry didn't take out Aramis for almost half a season, make Soriano and Soto terrible or turn 2nd base a nightmare of pain and suffering and despair until Jeff Baker showed up. Team chemistry had zilch to do with this team reguarly going out there with 3-5 offensive dead spots in the lineup.

Re: Cubs Step up pursuit of Byrd

What? This division still stinks if Holliday signs with the Cardinals. It's not like they become world beaters signing back a guy who hit out of his mind in a relatively small span of time and will not repeat such a performance over the course of a season. Holliday is good, but come on. -
What's he saying? I don't know. I'm just forseeing that bald jerkoff leering like Christmas came early on Chicago Tribune Live.
-
I have the random urge to punch Dave Kaplan in the throat right now.
-
How is he a distraction to his manager and the players when it comes to actually playing and managing a game? And who gives a [expletive] what the media is "distracted" with? You act like the Cubs have to work hard to get people to come out and spend money. Having Milton Bradley spend all of his offtime calling up Cubs fans and insulting them still wouldn't keep them away.

That would make this day at least tolerable so long as Hendry doesn't overpay as per usual. Please, no Pods. -
He was a PR nightmare on the team that cares more about PR than almost any team in sports. You don't have to like it, but it doesn't make it untrue. That still doesn't make it something that they have to do. How would this "PR nightmare" effect the team? The Cubs stunk last year because 2B turned into a black hole offensively for much of the season, Soto was fat, hurt and awful/had a ton of bad luck and Soriano was bad and playing hurt. Bradley definitely got off to an ice cold start offensively but ended up being a productive player. People aren't going to stop buying tickets and merchandise because of Milton Bradley. Milton Bradley can't make his teammates play worse. Never at any point has moving him beein something they had to do. Who gives a [expletive] if he doesn't like the fans?

No sense in getting bent out of shape over something you had to have seen coming for the last four months. This is all crying over spilled milk. If anyone actually thinks the Cubs have ANY chance of winning the World Series in the next three years, you're sadly mistaken. I've come to terms with this, so it doesn't hurt anymore. When it gets this bad you just can't allow yourself to become so emotionally invested. It's simply not worth it. Oh God, shut up with the baseball robot garbage. Take it easy tough guy. Nobody kicked your dog. Yet. Nobody's trying to be a tough guy; I just don't want to hear the "oh man, I don't get emotional over this" crap on a day like this. My team did something really, REALLY stupid and I want to vent.
-
There was never a point of no return. People weren't going to stop showing up because of Bradley. Players weren't going to stop playing because of Bradley. Those are the only way you have a "point of no return" with a player like that in terms of "personality issues" and even then it's still not something they HAVE to do.
-
At least I can feel I have something in common with a player who hates Cubs fans. This is definitely true.
-
UH-OH RED FLAGS HE'S GOING TO POISION THE CUBS' WELL WATER AND THEN THEY WILL LOSE.
-
Yes, please.
-
"Didn't own not doing well?" Are you [expletive] kidding me? He did the exact opposite of that. And Carlos Silva is not a "gem that needs polishing." Look at his numbers for 2 seconds before posting that. We don't need to wait and see anything because he's a horrible, horrible pitcher.

I don't need to lay off the hyperbole. I'm pissed; Ryan Theriot should not be a starting MI for this team. Him being there just epitomizes how bad the Cubs' farm system had been for so long and how poorly this team has been run.
-
None of which requires him to be traded. We've already heard Cubs defending him. Do you seriously think that Bradley was somehow detrimental to the team outside of his own lackluster performance?
-
Why lay off Theriot? He's terrible at baseball yet we seem to be stuck with him instead of him having been traded already at the peak of what little talent/value he had.
-
What red flags in terms of teammates hating him? That's like the one thing Bradley didn't have a problem with before he was signed. And who gives a [expletive] what that awful midget at SS thinks? He's been the only guy to seem to not like Bradley, and it's hardly like he speaks for the team.
-
I'd be giddy if I was interviewed after Ryan Theriot was gone.
-
The Brewers are desperate for pitching and seem to be complete idiots when it comes to signing pitchers this offseason. Maybe they can be duped into wanting Silva. Ah, who am I kidding? We're stuck with him.
-
In one of the better pitching parks to boot. With a good 3/4 of an IF defense. Holy God. I can't possibly hate this any more than I do right now.
-
Oh, [expletive] me.
-
Silva carries himself like an ace; the rest will figure itself out.
