    Why the hell would the Phillies be so upset about an assistant whose main job is player development asking to interview for a GM position when the minor league season is over just because the team is in a pennant race. Would they really think his interview would somehow distract the Phillies from winning a game? Is Halladay going to lose focus wondering whether the freaking assistant GM is going to interview with another team? For the record, I think this hire would suck balls. I didn't know that assistant GMs sat around doing nothing in September. Must be a nice gig. What could he possibly be responsible for on a day to day basis where interviewing for another job would somehow get in the way?

    I feel like one of those teams is going to disappoint. No idea which, but one of them is going to leave people wondering what happened. Yep. I'm with you on this one. I'm thinking that Atlanta's defense could let them down. Depending on the timing of Vick's injury, Philly could turn into an 8 or 9 win team on the outside looking in.

    That's kind of scary. He resigned suddenly, and won't reveal publicly why. Why would you do that if you didn't have something else lined up. Hopefully he got caught banging Sandberg's wife or something.

    Maybe he'll save the Cubs some time and cut himself. It's an immature and petulant thing to do. It probably doesn't mean he should kill himself. Cutters generally don't kill themselves, do they?

    No, I was the guy not losing sleep over keeping him or firing him. I'm in the camp where contracts leaving and money being reinvested properly will go a long way towards getting this franchise back on track, which for a minute there in the 2000's they were. I know I'm talking crazy when I say this...but the results aren't always guaranteed to be there, even when things are done in the one and only way to do them right. You will have a better time getting results when you don't have incompetent idiots deciding how your money will be reinvested.

    an emo pitcher?

    Speaking of Bruce's blog, I noticed his little commentary on Dusty's "woe is me" nonsensical answer to questions about Hendry and the Cubs.

    How so? I read it this morning and just checked it out.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, I think they miss it as well. But I'm holding out hope.

    Bears are still getting 3 points in this one, making them one of only 4 home dogs on the slate this week.

    Isn't some of the cap story about how much they spent last year on 3 guys, two of which were worthless one year wastes? Unlike 2006/2007, I can't think of very many young players I want to see them extend in advance of free agency. They might want to reconsider Cutler's deal if he takes another step forward. Forte would be fine, but you have to consider you might be paying all his guarantee money just for 2011, with as many miles as he already has on his legs.

    Disagree on both accounts...45 isn't old and he's one of thE few FO talents this franchise has. Disagree all you want but you're wrong. He's been around for a very long time and is right behind Jim Hendry is terms of crappy baseball execs who screwed up the Cubs this past decade. He's also not young, so there's no point in pretending otherwise.

    Looks like my gut sucks. It doesn't suck to keep him. What the heck is a young tapers player of suit? Phone typing...talent...Player or suit. Fleita is not talent. Nor is he young.

    What is being ignored by some here is that fleita is horrible at his job. They did a good job developing pitchers when hendry held that role but they suck now. He is terrible, stuck with an ignorant philosophy and you are forcing him on a new gm. Candidates will definitely not look favorably at this sort of decision making by an uninformed owner.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Obviously it was more important to replace hendry but this exposes rickets as uninformed, panicky and horribly shortsighted. Does not bode well for gm search or future of this team. Should have made changes year ago.

    You forgot about dr z in 2005

    According to Pat Hughes, the ball was hit to the hole between short and third, Castro made a good play, but the throw was late (Harrison is fast). Barney hustled toward first to back up the play in case the throw got away (it didn't), so no one was in position to cover second. Harrison saw that and took the base. Barney needs to get his head out of his butt there. Quade should probably bench Castro to give Barney something to think about.

    Lombardi seemed to have a reasonable view of the Bears last year, which I think proved correct in the end. Simmons just wants to take an extreme viewpoint just so he can claim he had it right all along if it works out, or brush it off as "what do I know" if he's wrong.
