Barney has been pretty crappy for a good while now. The Cubs are getting a 688 OPS out of 2B this year, that is 8th in the NL. With Utley finally back in Philly it probably won't be long before they drop to 9 or lower. Middle infield may not be the main area of concern, but the Cubs have plenty of areas that can and/or should be addressed. Get your improvement where you can. -
Overall they've been better, but the Cubs have made 4 playoff appearances post-strike while the White Sox have made 3. Although they actually capitalized on their "destiny" year and the Cubs crapped the bed. The Sox have been consistently around .500 and have had no really awful seasons, but is that really a badge of honor? It's almost easier to win in cycles of really bad and then really good than just hovering around .500 most years. I'm not sure where you're coming from. The CWS won 90+ three times in the 2000s, plus an 88 and 89 win season. They were below .500 once. They've been better than the Cubs.

In my mind everybody involved in that organization talks a lot of crap despite not being all that good. But they have been better than the Cubs for a long time.

So Quade still thinks that DeWitt is swinging the bat well enough for third and worth playing in left? Huh. He's sub 700 for the season, sub 600 for the past 2 weeks. 626 for June. DeWitt is terrible, and he can't field either.
-
Aren't the Cubs only like 3-4 games behind the Sox in this godforsaken series? It was split evenly until a couple years ago, but now it's about 4 games in favor of the White Sox.

ESPN doing a great job of piling on

Interesting statement in a post written very clearly in a "I am a better fan than you" voice. -
Yeah including Soriano and Grabow, but ignoring Pena seems really strange. Pena is probably the Cubs' best trade chip, unless they make Soto available. 760 OPS so far this year after last season's 732. I'm not so sure he's much of a chip.

Cubs do an "It Gets Better" video in support of LGBTQ youth

You would've guessed Bob Dernier? Well the players, I barely even remember Dernier is affiliated with this team. -

Barney was reading cue cards ten feet above the camera, Dernier was wasted and possibly naked from the waist down. At least Quade looked at ease. -

jersey cubs fan replied to inari's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Sure it gets better, if you can just pickup and go on safari!!!!! Good job fellas, not surprised about the guys who took part in this. Probably would have guessed them. Bobby Dernier looks and sounds like a hungover wacky radio DJ. -
yes, 17 year olds are apparently children. Yeah, to WSR a 20-year-old mentioning a 17-year-old is just creep-city, dude. Maybe things were different back in the 60's in jolly old England, but my point of view is that once your college age, you shouldnt be picking or dating up high schoolers, unless say your an 18-19 year old Freshman or Sophmore and its someone youd been with since high school and theyre still there but youve moved on. Seriously? A 20 year old dating a 17 year old may be in bad taste, but it sure isn't pedophilia. It's good hustle is what it is.

On any given pitch there is nothing wrong with swinging at something you can drive. But over the course of a game and a season it is absolutely necessary to not be a bunch of overaggressive morons. The Cubs are a bunch of overaggressive morons, and have been throughout virtually the entire Hendry era (with the exception of portions of the Piniella era).

Well, there are a good number of seats where you can't see the whole field. Everything back up under the grandstand sucks. Well yeah, there's obstructed view seats, but those are there so that the 20 thousand people in the upper deck have the best upper deck view in baseball. Sigh. Thank you. And it's easy to get under the grandstands and not be obstructed. Section 218-222ish are all pretty close to home plate and are unobstructed with few exceptions. Yeah, there are good seats. But there are far too many really terrible seats. I don't see how people have a hard time agreeing with that sentiment. The best stadiums have very few bad seats. Wrigley has a lot.

Ravech: Doesnt expect to see Hendry next year
jersey cubs fan replied to Dallas Green's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This was pretty nonsensical: He was there all last year and they sucked. He was here in the early part of this season and they sucked. His glueability and leadership skills are not what is missing. It's the lack of good baseball players that hurt this team. -
fantastic nut shot reaction
-
The descriptions of his problems make me thing that would be a huge longshot.
-
That didn't seem so much like a bad hop as it did DeWitt losing the ball in his glove. Castro fed him on the bag with plenty of time. On initial view and replay it looked to me like maybe some backspin delayed the ball getting to Castro a millisecond, which I assumed through off the timing at 2B.

Astros to the AL? Elimination of divisions?
jersey cubs fan replied to d_money's topic in General Baseball Talk
Expanding the DH is an interesting topic. I've read several places this season that more players than not HATE to DH and would rather play the field as well. That makes me cautiously optimistic that the damn thing will be gone within my lifetime. Players are idiots. There is no chance of the DH being gone in your lifetime. There is an infinitely higher chance that it's adopted by the NL. Why exactly are the players idiots for wanting to play the field as well? GM's are more willing to pay for a guy who can hit 20 HR's and also play the field than a guy who hits 30 HR's and can only DH. The first player is seen as more versatile. Read the article on Adam Dunn a few weeks ago in SI. if all teams have the dh than the gm's will be willing to pay just as much for the dh as players who play the field If no teams have the DH, there are just as many jobs available, but they will go toward more all-around type guys instead of bat only guys. So all-around guys should prefer no DH.
