    Meet badnews.

    And what do you notice about his road numbers?

    The reality is you have to work with what you have. Despite how this year has gone, with this division the Cubs are still potentially a player or 2 away from the a WS so long as they can get into the playoffs. Though I'm curious as to who you'd put into the lineup to better ensure a 1st round win seeing as creating a "1st round team," or even a playoffs team in general, seems like a fool's errand.

    Then they need to seriously and realistically re-evaluate what their goals are this season. Offense seems to be the main thing they need to improve for the rest of this season, though even if they do that there's still the bullpen to potentially blow too many games. It very well might come down that a big trade of any kind simply is not the the smart thing to do. I don't think a big trade is going to happen to help the offense. Fontenot has improved some lately and each day that goes by puts us closer to ARam's return. As long as the Cubs keep their head above .500 and no team starts running away with the NL Central, I think Hendry will wait it out and save his trade chips for Peavy. At this point I'd prefer to use the parts to get Peavy elsewhere.

    Then it might just have to be the big deal as opposed to going after someone like Peavy if the Cubs want any kind of a shot of winning it all this year.

    Where did I say I think he's a "badass .900+ OPS guy?" when we're talking about giving up a really good package of prospects and moving to soriano for a 3 month rental, don't you think it should be for a badass hitter? Not necessarily. It depends on what the package is. Given that he is likely a rental and he has vocalized his desire to play for a better team, a GM might not have to give up the world for him. If Hendry would have to seriously overpay, no, stay away, but if he can be reasonably had I would go for it. I think this team needs a serious offensive boost over the long haul more than anything else, especially given Bradley's likely missing more time and Aramis coming back from an injury like that. I think he's a very good hitter and would be a huge boost for this lineup. I think he's really the best hitter that's out there that the Cubs have a chance of getting and he's far better than the other stopgap names that aren't going to contribute nearly as much. I would happily take Soriano at 2nd if it meant having someone like Holliday in there every day alongside Bradley (when he can play) and Aramis (with whatever he can contribute).

    In the road numbers you just posted, you really don't see a clear trend? Where did I say I think he's a "badass .900+ OPS guy?" We're not talking about Coors numbers.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    So you don't see a trend in those numbers? You seem to place most of a player's worth in career averages uber alles.

    dexter hating something makes me automatically love it more than life itself.

    *Scratches trigger finger* TAKE THE SHOT.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Yes.

    CUBS WIN! 100 WINS FOR BIG Z!

    Dat's not 3. Get your glove up for that [expletive], son.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Dat's 2.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    A better defensive SS isn't making that one that close.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Dat's 1.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Reds go down 1-2-3.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Cubs are crafty on the 1B line.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Slippery as an eel! LA-LA-LAAAA.

    Actually you should have "messed" yourself. 2 runs is not enough to win baseball games. Sorry, it's true. 2 runs is not enough to win baseball games? Are you serious? Plenty of games have been won with 2 runs or even *GASP!* 1 run.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    cubswin2009 just messed himself.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Or they just win it with 2 runs, you [expletive] spaz. Let me take you through our batting averages: .243 .287 .302 .263 .277 .234 .255 .150 Horrible. I refuse to believe you're not a fake screenname.

    Unclnech or just kindly STFU for a few innings. Please. I'll STFU when we get at least 3 runs off this scrub. No, you'll just find something else to complain about. You exist here seemingly only to complain about and bemoan everything about this team.
