    If you watched the game last night, you saw Bobby Valentine spend about half an inning laying into Castro. Even though about three times Valentine said he didn't wanna beat Castro up, that's exactly what he did. Things that Valentine criticized Castro for. 1) Facing away from the batter as the pitch was thrown. 2) Pulling out sunflower seeds from his back pocket as the pitch was thrown 3) Taking his glove off between pitches 4) Looking down all the time The first one was obviously a pretty fair criticism. The others were up for debate, especially as they praised Barney, but showed him doing similar stuff. Bobby called Castro the most talented player on the team a number of times, but was clearly irritated. Figured it was fodder for discussion.

    Honestly, I'm more worried about the interior line. Theres things you can do to mitigate problems at the tackle positions, keep a Tight End in (and it seems like their mantra with the tight ends this year is basically block first) but problems inside ? You're screwed. And if Chris Williams keeps getting shoved to the ground and Garza and Spencer can't handle it, pretty much kiss any hopes of even a mediocre offense goodbye. BTW, according to Brad Biggs, the Bears see Carimi as a RT. They don't intend to move him to LT. At all.

    Supposedly gonna talk to Ricketts during the Cubs game tonight on ESPN. I'm not gonna be able to pay full attention, so someone post something here if he says anything interesting, so I don't have to wade through the game thread.

    I think the feeling between Hendry and Kenney was mutual. Unless you think Hendry is a liar. So because Hendry was fat and loveable, we have to side with him?

    More Kenney bashing... http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Chicago-Cubs-Crane-Kenney-ryne-sandberg-jair-jurrjens-michael-young-mike-rizzo-082011 And this baseless speculation...

    If there's a crucifixion of Angelo for FA's not signed, it'll be OL.

    Why are you including Byrd, Dempster, and Marmol (maybe) in this list? those aren't bad contracts. I stole that blurb from another site, but I wasn't saying they were bad. Just that they were high dollars to a single player.

    What do you believe is the most common mistake that MLB General Managers make, and how would you avoid falling into that pitfall?

    proof? jersey is actually happy.
  11. Banedon
    Isn't this misleading? How long have baseball executives/decision-makers been referred to as general managers? Apparently since 1934 for the Cubs. Ok, so GMs didn't exist in our most successful era... COINCIDENCE!?!!? lol. 75+ years of GM's sucked. That's kinda the point.

    Haha...Rosenbloom begrudgingly gives Ricketts credit, while still insulting him as much as possible. And is still mad that Kenney is around. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/rosenblog/chi-ricketts-makes-right-move-with-hendry-20110819,0,6607449.column

    The bad news for the new guy...and I doubt this is really news for many ppl here on the board, but... The Cubs are already paying $65 million next season just for Soriano, Zambrano, Ryan Dempster, Marlon Byrd and Carlos Marmol.
  14. Banedon
    Quit that, Bob.
  15. Banedon
    Not enough, imo.

    Tim should charge for access to this thread.
  17. Banedon
    Maybe something to do with the trade deadline?
  18. Banedon
    OMG what a way to add some spice to a slow, boring Friday at work! So giddy right now! I feel like I can finally be a real Cubs fan again!

    Lovie on the offense.... http://www.suntimes.com/sports/7148743-419/lovie-smith-bears-can-be-better-than-last-year.html

    Harvey Unga has left the team for personal reasons.

    Psh, going to training camp with the rest of the team and coaches used to get Walter Payton out of shape. Obviously few will ever touch Walter in that regard, but grown men being paid millions should be able to get work in on their own just fine. Reportedly Cutler and Knox both came into camp in better shape than usual. It's all about how much you want it, honestly. Briggs has a bruised knee and will not play on Monday. Iwuh will start in his place.
