  1. Garza <3 Give the guy some run support, Cubs!
  2. LOL...Same result as the first inning. Your worthless Soriano
  3. What a ya know, piss away another lead and piss away another game.
  4. Why wasn't the bullpen in the game in the 7th when Wells was gassed and imploding? Oh that's right, Mike Quade is a [expletive] and doesn't know how to manage anything.
  5. LOL..Wells sucks balls and Quade is a moron for keeping him in there.
  6. I still think Castro should be hitting 2. Everytime hes in the 3 hole, he slumps. I mentioned this yesterday and asked what the splits looked like in each spot..Barney does not have to be in the 2 spot. Look how Castro thrives in the one and two compared to the three hole. 1st: 352/380/500/880 (92 PA) 2nd: 322/356/423/779 (412 PA) 3rd: 230/256/329/585 (160 PA)
  7. I really prefer Castro in the 1 or 2 spot..What's his average in the 3 spot compared to the top 2? He seems to really press up there in the 3 hole. I didn't see the strike out since I'm at work. Im guessing it was a real bad pitch he swung at?
  8. Roto During an appearance on the "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000 in Chicago on Thursday, Kerry Wood indicated that he would prefer to stay with the Cubs past the trade deadline. "At this point, it's here or nowhere," said Wood. "I don't have a desire to go travel around the country any more and do all that and be away from the family." Wood, 34, is making just $1.5 million guaranteed this season, but he does have a full no-trade clause in his contract. He won't leave unless it's the perfect situation.
  9. Typical Hendry again going on like there's no problem,stress, urgency or anything http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-0630-cubs-giants-chicago--20110629,0,7314531.story
  10. No fire sale yet? Damnit. Maybe tommarrow.
  11. 3 different guys with 2 HR's in the same game? How often does that happen?
  12. Keep this going if it means a fire sale and firings coming..I don't really want them to get back to .500 because you know they'll feel like they made some kind of good progress and came back from 15 games under with all those injuries and fought back and come up with some feel good,positive BS to the fans and lie to themselves, even though there was no pressure and Hendry,Quade and everyone will stay intact next year. Im up for them going as low as they can this year until some changes are made.
  13. Caught this on MSN.com, didn't see it posted anywhere, so thought I'd share, if it's already posted, just remove. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Two-women-sue-Chicago-Cubs-owner-Joe-Ricketts-for-sexual-harrassment-retaliation-062211?GT1=39002
  14. CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs will bring in their top scouts on Monday and Tuesday to have meetings about the direction of the team with the trading deadline just five weeks away, according to a baseball source. General manager Jim Hendry and assistant GM Randy Bush will preside over the two days of meetings. Hendry's objective will be to give the scouts direction as the team looks to acquire new players or move some off the present 25-man roster. Hendry will talk to his top scouts about which teams the Cubs might match up with best as far as trades. The Cubs have a number of players with big contracts that not all teams could or would absorb. The game plan will include going after top prospects and young players from other teams. Three Cubs players -- Alfonso Soriano, Carlos Zambrano and Aramis Ramirez -- with no-trade clauses or 5-and-10 no-trade rights have responded to media inquiries about whether they would accept trades. Zambrano told FoxSports.com recently that while he wants to stay with the Cubs, he would accept a trade if the Cubs wanted to deal him. "If they come to me and want to trade me, obviously it's because they don't want me here anymore," Zambrano told the website. "I always say that. I'll be here until the Cubs decide to trade me." On June 6, Ramirez told ESPNChicago.com that he would not accept a trade. Soriano told ESPNChicago.com on June 16 that if the team wanted to trade him, he would not stand in its way. "It's not the worst thing," Soriano said of being traded. "When I got traded from the Yankees [for Alex Rodriguez] to Texas, that was a difficult one. But when I got traded to Washington, that's just part of the game. We work for the team. They do what they want to. "I expect to stay here. This is my fifth year, but if they say they want to trade me, then why wouldn't I want to go somewhere else. I wouldn't stay here." Outfielder Kosuke Fukudome has a limited no-trade clause and can veto a deal to a handful of teams. The question most baseball people will ask the Cubs is: How much of each contract is the team willing to absorb? Chairman Tom Ricketts will have to be involved in some of these decisions. Zambrano has $27 million left on his deal, which runs through 2012. Ramirez has $7.5 million left this season, as well as a $2 million buyout and a $1 million bonus he receives if he's traded. Soriano has about $65 million remaining on his contract, which runs through 2014. Fukudome is in the last year of his contract and has a shade over $7 million left.
  15. Qaude is his postgame doesnt even know what the hell he's talking about. HAHHAHAHA Just said he wanted the best way to make contact , that's why he kept Hill in.
  16. And of course were most likely gonna lose this damn game by one run because of the Dewitt/Davis [expletive]
