  1. I agree it would be nice to see some position players...but this organization has alot better luck with finding arms IMO. Maybe we can rebuilt with young guns part II Rich Hill Sean Gallagher Donald Veal David Price
  2. I'd be all for trading Barrett if we coudl get this Paulino kid from Pittsburgh.
  3. hey now! http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3867/801/400/the_demps.jpg
  4. come on fans...start tossing the trash :lol:
  5. great game for Hill. He needs to work on his fielding though this offseason.
  6. I bet Boston feels stupid.
  7. hey, how bout that Rich Hill. Arguably a candidate for the Heisman Trophy http://www.chicago-cubs-baseball.com/images/caray.gif
  8. As bad as this season has been....at least we don't have Hawk Harrelson as our announer. He is a grade A D-Bag.
  9. Pitcher...Lefty...Vanderbilt. I don't know for sure if he is #1. No more HS kids as far as I am concerned.
  10. I'm hearing the best player might be David Price from Vanderbilt. if he gets a big name agent the chances of teams picking ahead of us: KC Tampa Pittsburgh Likely wouldn't draft him anyways.
  11. Baker had tremendous help from Hendry, though. But I would never call the 2003 team one of the best Cub teams. They got extremely lucky to win the division....er ..... I mean they got lucky that Houston lost the division. I disagree. Everything was covered with that team: Starting pitching, good defense, strong bench, solid lineup with power AND a leadoff man. Bad breaks doomed them. That team was solid. "Was" the key word. As Wood and Prior fell from grace, Hendry refused to look towards a backup plan. The power in the OF of Sosa and Alou was never replaced The leadoff man(Lofton) was let go but they failed to realize CPatt should not leadoff. They refused to get a leadoff guy at another position. Hendry has been swining and missing for the past 3 years, including keeping an incompentant manager around. All failures need to be blamed on Hendry. Baker makes a bad coaching move, I blame Hendry. Dusty only exists now as the manager because of Hendry
  12. I think the Twins gave us that prospect out of sympathy for their boy Andy McFailure.
  13. AMEN
  14. question...MacPhail came from Minnesotta right? Why can't he transfer the Twins model over here? Maybe the Cubs should just cut the payroll in half. They spend big bucks but have no idea how to utilze it properly. The problem is they spend big bucks on mediocre players and that's a fact. MacPhail's philosophy is to never sign the top free agent available because he feels it isn't necessary. Well, guess what? That type of management will not get you far. We should have a 100mil payroll. The Cubs are a bonified cash cow and the fans fill the stadium up. We should be able to compete with the best of them but when you have clowns running this organization what do you expect? Yup. I have brought this up before as well, this team is getting no shot in the arm from the minors. Teams like the Twins are good teams in part because they have the Liranino's, Mornue's etc peform like All-Stars at bargain prices. Heck even the Yankees have Cano who is making peanuts The only bargain all star calibar player on the Cubs is Z. even avg vets get 8+ mil a season now. This team will contiue to assembe a team around 90 million that consits of overpaid avg players

  16. Correct. but I thought there was some funny sign/trade transaction were Barrett was an Oakland A for a bit.
  17. Hendry is living off 3 transactions The trade for Ramirez The trade for D. Lee Signing Michael Barrett. 3 Years since he has done something positive. 3 Years. Its like that rookie that comes up from AA and hits .380 for 2 months. We need to dump this guy ASAP.
  18. I like watching fans throw trash on the field.
  19. The childhood home video collection of Jim Hendry! Where did you find that!
  20. nope. didn't have the nuts. one of the reasons no one respects you Dusty.
  21. Mine would be when Jerome drugged Hendry and convinced him he would be a viable #4 starter.
  22. Someone get Howard a pee-cup. hehe..j/k
