    Who didn't see that one coming?

    I disagree with the screaming and dropping Walker for E-Patt. Keep Walker on the cheap for at least another year and have him bat leadoff.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    I see zero reason to not sign Walker back next year. Really, what's the point? He's exactly the kind of #1 or #2 hitter this team needs. Focus on the frickin' outfield and even the bench before anyone even thinks of dumping Walker.

    This is what it sounds like... ...when doves cry.

    This thread is the worst thing since sliced Hitler.

    I very much agree with the idea that Ramirez simply isn't designed to be THE hitter in a lineup...he's best suited to be a #4 guy and draw pitches that he'll blast. That's who he is. If Lee can come back and stick around .300 and Hendry goes out and gets the #5 guy the team needs (or someone who hits #3 if Lee needs to build back up...or can't), Aramis would be devastating again. As of right now, nobody has any reason to pitch to him, and it's killing him.

    It would be a big game if the Cubs didn't suck. The White Sox are clearly so much better that losing to them should be expected.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Heh, yeah, you're right...though I think "perfect" is more apt if I'm crazily involving Cabrera.

    I'd love to see Maddog finish out the career here, but he's one of the few guys that could net the team some players to take steps to rebuilding. I've said it before, but I wouldn't be opposed to packaging Marshall with Maddux (highlight their teacher/student relationship) if Wood and Prior manage to come back and pitch even close to their former selves.

    In a perfect world, Murton would be platooning with Jacque against lefties while the Cubs have Cabrera rocking our socks off in LF. But this is not that world. Yeah, Murton isn't lighting the world on fire, but he gets on base and is incredibly patient. It's his first full year and he has MASSIVE potential...it's not like he's pulling a Corey and going from one good partial season to total suck. I'm willing to give him a shot. Had Hendry done his job and gotten another big hitter to bolster this lineup before the season started, Murton getting into his groove wouldn't be even this big a deal. This is a crappy situation for a rookie to come into his own.

    Why do they hurt us so? Why?

    Seeya next April.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I know, right? Or trade away to become superstars on another team for players the Cubs misuse or burn out after a season or two.

    Cubs lose, 9-2. Hill manages to lose total control and breaks Lee's other wrist. Dusty ignores this and instead praises him for having found some "serious heat" with his pitching and gives him a hearty man-kiss in front of the press.

    I'm rooting for dead last so they can at least end up with a decent draft pick.

    At this point, the only thing I see the Tribune doing is realizing they can get the same results with a payroll of about $50 million instead, and will just cut what they're shelling out now over the next few years.

    While I agree with what you guys are pointing out, nobody is saying Tejada is going to get us into the playoffs singlehandedly. Everyone needs to stop looking for that mythical player. Outside of Pujols, they do not exist for THIS Cubs team. Even Cabrera probably wouldn't be enough to ensure a playoff shot. Getting Tejada, Cabrera, whoever, needs to be looked at only as a step in a larger plan. A big step, yes, but just A step. And that's just a general rant, not launched at anyone in particular.

    He actually had a Bluetooth snuck under his helmet and was calling his mom.

    I really don't want to see our Wood getting slapped around by the other team's wood. OK, I'll stop now. GO CUBS!
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Our Wood thrusts deep... ...into the game today and makes it into the 7th.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    But...but...but...but... Awwwww, horse hockey!
  22. Sammy Sofa
    I am loving these shutout wins, but if these Cubs manage to take more than 1 and score more than 5 runs total against the Sox, I'll be shocked.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Basically sub Bynum for somebody with a little pop and the bench is fine.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I wish to ride his giant shoulders, holding up a "CUBS WIN" banner for all the world to see.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Touche, good sir.
