I do agree that firing Dusty is not a magic pill for the nightmare that is the 2006 Chicago Cubs. BUT... the manager does set a tone for the team. This team is LOST. I think Dusty needs to step up and at least give it his best shot, and I don't always feel like he is. I am tired of hearing about the players taking blame. Get over it! FIRE UP AND PLAY BALL! This is it... the be all and the end all of baseball... the BIGS!! Ditch the excuses, use what ya got and at least play the fundamentals... hit the cutoff, quit bobbling balls, don't get picked off, etc. Dusty needs to remind them of who they are, where they are and at least show us fans that he REALLY IS DOING ALL HE CAN WITH WHAT HE'S GOT. I think the fact that there are so many threads about this topic shows that we are not sure that he's taken the reins. I don't know... I'm just a FRUSTRATED CUBS FAN not looking forward to this long, long season......

It's a rainy day here in Chicagoland, but it's a great one all the same.. CUBS WIN. It was nice to see hitting actuallly reappear AND Carlos stay on track twice in a row. It is a weight off my shoulders. Now if we could ONLY get our outfielders to get the grease off their hands and make a decent play!! They look like the Three Stooges half the time. EMBARRASSING! BUT... we've got a win streak going! Rynefan

Hi, I think Rothschild needs to go and I have for a long time. The pitching has not been good for a while... guys hurt or not performing. As far as replacing Dusty, I don't know, but I have not been a fan of his style for a LONG time ... most of the time he's been with the Cubs. Not sure who's available out there for hiring. Let's get Brenly talked into it. Heck, Ron Santo!! Rynefan

They look terrible at the plate. They are at two strikes in a flash. When you're in a rut like this, you need to get on base. Quit swinging at garbage and take a walk. Or at least wait for a better pitch. It's not even like they're swinging for the fences... they're just swinging at junk. Rynefan

Hello, Well, after watching last night's game (Tues.) I just don't know what to say. There's so much wrong with that team that I don't even know where they really need to start. Top to bottom, it's a mess. All I know is that I am a die-hard Cubs fan, have been all my life. I look forward to April all offseason. I try to watch every game I can. We can pick apart management, the coaching staff and the players (and righfully so!), but the bottom line is that when you are a CUBS fan through and through, this is just a nightmare. It's hard to even think about. It's not like a regular "bad" team ... they are beyond that. They're falling apart, and I really hope something happens to turn this around because I don't get a good feeling. Eight in a row????? Guess the only good thing is if they totally blow it, maybe I'll actually be able to get tickets to a game this year. I can go and cry in my Budweiser with 40,000 others like me! If I'm dreaming PLEASE WAKE ME UP NOW!!!!!!! Rynefan
