Has he brought up a slider, low and away? Because everything he says that isn't that is wrong. I turned on CSN last night thinking it was sportsnet central, but it was a sox game and Stone said something about a slider low and away and I laughed then turned the TV off and went to bed.

Steve Stone on WSCR making absolutely no sense equating old mediocre doctors and young hot shots with old baseball people and sabermetrics people. But he apparently would prefer some younger "modern" guy who will surround himself with old guys who know what a 24 year old looks like in comparison to a 25 year old.

Goodbye Jim Hendry, you are a really good guy and a really terrible general manager. I wish you nothing but the best. Enjoy Baltimore.

BEERHERE WITH BREAKING NEWS PLEASE UNLOCK THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
He told him on July 22 I AM AWARE
-
Maybe to stop him from making moves to try and save his job at the deadline? I guess, but what desperation moves could he have possibly been cooking up?
-
So why bother telling Hendry about it until August?
-
Jim Hendry has never been fired before in his life? That is crazy for a man in his business.
-
What in the world is the explanation for this weirdness??????
-
I don't give a flying fudgesicle about Crane Kenney and I don't know why any fan would. The man has nothing to do with the baseball team, he runs the business, and by most accounts business is good.

No explanation necessary, sir, please take the afternoon off and take some high class hookers out on a yacht in lake michigan and do with them as you may.

I will temper my celebration all over your face.

No he cannot because he never found one.
-
Absolutely not. We have waited long enough. I am going to get so wasted tonight! Maybe I'll just start at lunch.

I'm confused by this line of thinking. How is cutting a player with a guaranteed contract considered disciplining him? He's getting $18 million next year whether the Cubs cut him or keep him. I can fully understand disciplining him - suspending him for the rest of this season without pay makes sense in that regard - but how is cutting him discipline? Yeah, it is absurd to suggest that allowing the guy back after a long suspension automatically gives everybody else carte blanche. Finally chopping off Hendry's head should send another message on top of Z's suspension.

Ricketts to Address Direction of Franchise Within 10 Days
jersey cubs fan replied to idakepps's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Isn't firing Hendry enough for you? He needs to make the announcement -
This is what it must have felt like to be there when Lee surrendered.
-
BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CLUBHOUSE???????????????
-
I might have sex with the internet today.

Sweet baby jesus it's a summer christmas time miracle. I want to have Tom Ricketts' babies.

WHATWHATWHAT?????????????????????????????????

Dempster was once a 200+ inning pitcher before he was a reliever. He had maybe 1500 professional innings as a starter by the time he was Samardzija's age. It was a matter of going back to what he was. I'm not really sure there's a good comparison there, or that you can have Samardzija do what Dempster did.
-
it probably has, because they've jerked him around between starting and relieving a lot, and it's taken this long to get him to a point where he's actually an asset to the team. while that $3-3.5m would look a lot nicer over 200 effective innings, I'm not sure that would happen without a decent changeup and better command. Well he's only got 150 ML innings over the past 4 years so I'm not sure what they've been doing to him has been too damaging. Plus, I like his mechanics when he has them together and he looks like has the frame to handle a starters load if he perfects the rest of the art of pitching. Not sure why you just talk about his limited major league innings. He's got 313 of them over the same amount of time in the minors. 463 in total with maybe 200 as a reliever. He's been moved back and forth but at this stage isn't close to being stretch out enough to start. He's recently spoke about wanting to start, but I'm not sure he'd have much of a chance to contribute effectively as a starter, and if you are paying him $3m next year you probably want him to be effective.
