    But again, it's not that he gave up future hall of famers. He gave up valuable trade pieces for a useless player. CCP made the point better than I did. I'm not advocating trading those players specifically for Juan Pierre, but I wonder how much better of a player they actually could have brought. I'd like to think much better, but I'm not sure Hendry's ever been fleeced in a trade and it seems odd that he'd give up way more than he should have there. You didn't have to trade those exact same three players for another guy. You could have used one or all of them in a package for somebody better. They were useful chips, and they were wasted on a useless player who fit a perceived need.

    Campbell may be a Capital by then.

    I would say there is definitely an additional difficulty, but I don't believe it can be all that significantly bigger than the one every playoff player deals with.

    I don't know either way, but I wonder what their trade value was at the time. I would think the three of them could have netted more, but Hendry has proven to be very good at not overpaying for players. It just makes me wonder. Hendry really really wanted a speedy leadoff hitter. His own personal valuation of the situation was clearly askew.

    At the time, or over the next couple years.

    I think people are stuck on the one good year that Nolasco has had as a major leaguer in 2008, so yeah, Nolasco has essentially been crap as a ML pitcher. Hidsight suggest that the Cubs got a pretty bad OF, for a pretty bad starting pitcher. And wasted money plus opportunity cost in the meantime.

    It's always a lagging indicator. Last year was buffeted by 2008's success, last year's disappointment has contributed to this year's attendance problems.

    The same thing was said about the Red Sox. Yeah but they were able to Cowboy Up. What could we possibly do to match that? Not stop believin? A simple plastic bracelet with a clever saying should suffice.

    This happened in 2005/2006, so I'm not sure why some people are claiming that empty seats at Wrigley are unheard of. The quality of the team matters. There may be a baseline built in, where they aren't in much danger of hearing crickets, but people don't show up as frequently when the team stinks.

    Niemi, or Huet? What would sending Niemi down accomplish?

    The analyst guy on Mexico Uruguay sounds so much like Robin Roberts to me.

    That sounds makes me pity my 2nd grade music teacher.

    Who said it was the only consideration? The problem with the job Hendry has done is that this team has very mediocre results and a very high payroll. If they were a low payroll team with the same results, you'd probably give the GM some credit for making due. But this team has underperformed teams that have spent less than it throughout the Hendry era, and he has outlived much of his competition during that time.

    There's barely been any rumors or anything. The beat writers are all just now sobering up.

    Seriously. The folks that think Theriot's worthless seem to be unaware of just how many awful SS are getting regular ABs around MLB. The league's littered with the likes of Everett, Lugo, Izturis, Brendan Ryan, Betancourt, O Cabrera, Cliff Pennington, etc etc. Theriot would be an upgrade on several teams. That doesn't make him right for this team. The Cubs are a top-tier payroll team with current better in-house options. Just because other teams send out crappy players doesn't mean every team has to. I think you may have missed his point. Entirely. I always miss his points. I was operating under the assumption he was thinking Theriot was somehow a lot more valuable than what he is. Perhaps his point was Theriot holds trade value, because other teams could use him, despite the fact that he's next to useless for the Cubs.

    The whole idea of being a sports fan doesn't make much sense.

    How? The first guy to cross the D was the guy carrying the ball. Didn't one guy dump it into the guy who eventually kicked it toward goal? http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=264076&cc=5901&ver=us If you watch this video, I think you can see offsides, and the studio analyst guy said he thinks he was offside. One dude dumps it in between two teammates, at least one is well past the last defender when that pass is made, which, in my rudimentary understanding of the rules, is offsides.

    wasn't that the plot of a south park episode?
