    Yeah, because it would be much better to see a player who the Cubs pointlessly wasted trade parts on do the same thing.

    2008: 4 days: 2.53 5 days: 1.24 6+ days: 2.47 career: 4: 3.77 5: 3.61 6+: 2.78 It's basically for this reason that a lot of us were happy with how the Cubs seemed to be indicating they were going to give Harden more rest throughout the seaosn, either by pushing his days back or skipping his turn in the rotation from time to time, but they didn't follow through will that at all. Outside of his DL time they've basically kept him on schedule for most of the season.

    Hopefully none after tonight.

    It's a Cubs board.

    Good God, people.

    You're talking the unremarkable past success of an older player. It would be a waste of prospects. Nobody is going to argue that Fontenot to this point this season has been a huge letdown but he still has a good chance to show much improvement now that he's back at 2nd and if played in a strict platoon with Baker.

    That's turrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible, son.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    So why waste anything on other team's crap if we already have our own crap?

    what have they done since cleaning house to make you think they're a brutal front office? trading sanchez is the right move for them, if they can get some value. he's 31 years old, doesn't have much power and his stats are very BABIP-dependent because he doesn't walk a lot. plus he might be in line to make $8M next season. agreed. I actually am a big fan of what the new GM has done for the pirates. It actually looks like they are going in the right direction, FINALLY. Right. It will be so awesome when we are all here in 2 years on a "McCutchen trade rumors" thread. McCutchen will be 24 in 2 years. Why would they be looking to move him them as they are doing with the 31-year-old Sanchez now?

    I thought Aramis' reactions were less from pain and more from him swinging at absolute garbage.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Sounds like you're making excuses.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Challenge him to a duel.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Good Lord.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    You're remarkably stupid.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Aim low, sweet chariot, and gimme that split.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    So the only options are to love or hate him? That's ridiculous.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    According to Lou they gave Lee muscle relaxants so he's feeling great.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Why would you have "always" hated Soriano?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    KEVIN GREGG: FATALITY.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    This seems like a very dumb move for the Mets.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Then remember when he did?

    I feel bad for Arnold about how his heart will break when the next GM after Hendry is worse. What is your evidence that the next GM will be a lock in terms of being inferior to Hendry? That medicore to bad GM's are employed, in my opinion, by most of the teams in MLB in pretty much any given season. Do I think Hendry is a good or great GM? Of course not. If I had my way I'd love if the Cubs could end up with someone better. Once the ownership situation is ironed out I will have no qualms if he is fired. That said, I don't have much confidence that someone better will be hired. I think it's far more likely that someone as bad or worse ends up in the GM spot. I hope I'm wrong and the Ricketts buck the trend and are actually baseball savvy or, God willing, listen to people who are and hire someone who is the great GM the Cubs should have...but I'm not holding my breath. I'm basically just hoping for someone who doesn't suck too much.

    Definitely. I just think the idea that this team is playing as everyone should have expected going into the year is funny as hell. It's only funny to you because you see the outlier 2008 season as the standard, which is a very warped perception of the baseball teams Jim Hendry builds. You're so goofy. I love your schtick. Never change, homeslice. You always do this when you lose the argument. Guess so. Keep at it, big guy!

    Definitely. I just think the idea that this team is playing as everyone should have expected going into the year is funny as hell. But there was a lot of concern that this team had some serious downside on offense, with all of our best hitters except for Soto being past their primes, and Soto being a catcher, which is always unpredictable. Agreed, but again, anyone who claims they were predicting THIS is a liar. Baseball is baseball: there are no guarentees that players and teams are just going to walk over the season and you saw plenty of people here saying that 2009 was not a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination, but there's a huge gulf between that and how flat-out bad this team is playing. That you have this many players not playing anywhere near career or projected levels plus the injuries is basically a perfect storm of suck.
