    I'd have zero problem firing Hendry after this season if there's any kind of significant money to spend. If there's not I'd rather just hold onto Hendry until there is. I don't see the point of saddling a new GM with a mess they can't do much of anything about via the payroll. If trades are the only moves that can be made I'll take my chances with Hendry until the pursestrings can be opened or some money is off the books.

    As well as the Cardinals have run their organization I can't imagine that they're going to be too interested in resigning DeRosa unless he can be had for VERY cheap.

    Great year for Lee.

    To be fair, the sombrero's a bit much, but with all the community involvement Pujols does, how do you know Pujols has not in fact taken a lawn mower and mowed his lawn? Good point. He's a classy guy like that and a sombrero would just practical doing all that hard work in the hot sun, which is something that someone as brilliant as Pujols would realize. I love Albert Pujols.

    Facing a couple of pitchers [expletive] the bed definitely helps. Classy avatar you have there.

    The horror begins.

    Which is stupid because even in his career year he wasn't a big RBI guy. You can't really make a player into something they're not.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    In the long run they're basically a wash.

    Whut? DeRosa and Edmonds, duh It's remarkable the Cubs let two once-in-a-lifetime players get away like that. It makes letting Maddux sign with the Braves seem like nothing at all.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Whut?
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Dude, slow down. Go Tweet or something and get it out of your system. You're Roasting it up here something fierce.

    The question is: what would be the purpose of that? If indeed Bradley refused to play when asked to, such a grievance could backfire easily. What if he's claiming he didn't want to pinch-hit because he thought he was injured?

    The Reds owe the Cubs a favor for drafting and trading Josh Hamilton. Time to call that favor in. :D If Dusty is still around that might not be a bad idea. Milton and Dusty would be a match made in heaven. The Cubs apparently were interested in signing Milton prior to the 2006 season and Dusty and Milton met and apparently that didn't go well.

    I'm not going to get a "twitch" over DeRosa's unremarkable at best season. I'm definitely optimistic about next season, though I don't see it as some kind of sure thing. A lot of it hinges on whether Soriano and Soto can bounce back and whether or not Harden is back and healthy and used correctly.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    He was very upfront about how bad he was doing when he started so cold.

    Would have been nice much earlier in the season but Fontenot is looking much better at the plate lately. I definitely think he'll hold some value as a bench guy next season.

    That's a good point. And I don't want to give the impression that I dump the Cubs at the drop of a hat, just that I believe everyone has a point where it ceases to be worthwhile to stick with any particular endeavor. I have the same emotional attachment that most here do, and it's not necessarily easy to just stop caring. But it grates a bit when people act like it's literally impossible. Who said it's literally impossible?

    That's not a fact at all. Oh, but it is. Has Milton Bradley performed above or below expectations? Heck, he's well below his career norms, which ends this debate right now. And yet that still makes him a productive player.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    That's not a fact at all.

    "Milton Bradley did absolutely nothing to help the Cubs win games. Had he done that, you learn to live with it. In fact, the distractions on and off the field were helping them lose games." How? Milton Bradley was crippling their ability to hit with RISP? What an amazingly selective clubhouse cancer.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    He basically flat-out said that Bradley contributed nothing offensively this year.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! WHAT A [expletive] FAGGOT WHO TAKES IT IN THE [expletive]!!!

    And where is anyone saying that people can't watch another team or root for another team over individual games or series? Do you not see the difference between that and completely changing your allegiance again and again when someone asks you the question "what team are you a fan of?" Almost everyone here has teams they root for other than the Cubs in the playoff series in that particular context of the Cubs not being in it. It's not like everyone here turns off baseball once the Cubs are out of it or the playoffs being without the Cubs. Honestly, if the Cubs right now are enough for someone to give up on them and completely change their fandom then they haven't been a fan prior to 2003. To completely change one's fandom over a crappy year, especially if they claim to be a Cubs fan, is a load of [expletive] and it was never more than a dalliance or bandwagon deal to begin with. This is what it is to be a Cubs fan (and a sports fan in general) far more often than not, for better or for worse. You stick with your team when it comes down to the THE team you are a fan of through whatever happens. If all you're going to do is slink off in shame when the team is bad and then come back when they're good, what's the point of claiming to be a fan of anything in the first place? That's not being a fan of anything in particular except winning.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Or they just keep him as a serviceable sorta-supersub and good bat to have off the bench.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Yes. These games are meaningless and making this big of a deal just causes the Cubs' bargaining position in trading Bradley plummet from minimal to practically non-existent.
