I don't think your #1 is necessarily realistic. I think it's necessary, but not necessarily realistic as far as what the Cub will actually do. Hendry has his extension, Baker's is all-but-announced, Rothschild will be rewarded for turning down the Tiger's offer and returning to the Cubs, and Spier has seemed to do a decent job (unlike Clines and Sarge). Bah..I misread it...thought you said that all WOULDN'T return. nevermind.

Rock bottom is impossible to judge until there's some kind of upturn. As far as me personally, I'm not going to be anymore upset with the Cubs than I am right now (I don't think) so I'd say I've hit my rock bottom as far as Cubs pride.
-
Jason Dubois turned into Justin Berg, a high A pitcher with a 2-3 record and a 4.40 ERA Jody Gerut and Matt Lawton were just middlemen in that whole process. I don't know how any of that can be a good thing.

A living human being for Jose Macias Alfonseca. Bynum. That worthless Loogy they got from Arizona. The Farnsworth, Sosa, and Patterson trades. The myth that Hendry is King Midas with his trades doesn't really hold up. Cliff Bartosh for Bear Bay Juan Cruz for the human walking machine & Richard (no, I'm not the comedian) Lewis Jody Gerut
-
Hendry's been an assistant GM. That was his title before GM. I doubt he'd accept a demotion back to that. And I'm not sure I'd want him there. I don't like the idea of Hendry "advising" anyone. -
*sigh*
-
Kerry Wood can also hit a bit.

And you thought there was only one Albert Pujols

Prior for Cabrera straight up...would you do it? Would the Marlins? EDIT: On second thought probably not, Prior would cost too much. They'd want kids. -
I think this thread has gone on for about 4 pages too long.

No better time to rally! ROFL

So am I. I can't imagine the boo-birds tomorrow. Booing on an off-day? Now that's bad.

Wood was throwing around 95-96 in his last start.

The Cubs quote of the year.............
Banedon replied to matt-o-meter19's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
We've said that since what...the San Diego series? The bottom seems to be non-existent. -
I'm going to be at Friday's game! :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Reverse that. Err...yes.
-
Thanks...that was more info than I had.
-
My guess is that it would have something to do with injuries. Which would be my guess as well.

I posted this in the game thread, but I thought it was significant enough to post here. If you've already read this, please feel free to ignore it. If we lose today (looks like a strong probability), we'll be 18-28. The exact same record as 2002 on the same date. Don Baylor was fired on July 5th, 2002. Quote from 2002: Baylor had 407 games as Cubs manager. Baker has had 532 games as Cubs manager. Why should Baker get more time than Baylor? I'd love to hear someone actually ask Hendry this, though I'm sure I know his answer.
-
Absolutely hilarious.
-
Cabrera coming up. Weeeeee.
-
Is there a park in baseball that gives up more triples?
-
How about OBP among all players that have started every game in the season?
-
Baker was given a lot more talent, and lot more time to work with. Yep. Though I bet Hendry's answer would be that Baker had to deal with a lot more injuries to key personnel...
-
One of them beat cancer? Baker survived prostate cancer. Baylor survived bone marrow cancer. So I guess they survived different cancers...but that's still pretty similar.
