    one more biscuit for breakfast. Good to see Lee waking back up.

    This is a load of crap and you know it. Barrett has been one of the premier offensive catchers over the last two years. La di freaking da. He's been a good hitter and terrible defender. The vast majority of his career has been abysmal, and hopefully his time on the Cubs is near its end. But heaven forbid we say anything bad about him because we owe him so much for the greatness of the past 2 years.

    I'm appalled by watching him play the game. That's funny. The last three years, he's been one of the very few reasons to watch the Cubs, and two bad months into the next season, everybody says they can't stand him. Barrett haters remind me way too much of Yankee fans... that whole "what have you done for me lately?" crap. It's disgusting... and it's certainly not befitting of a Cubs fan. Cubs fans on this site that have that attitude like cubbiechris make me sick to be a cubs fan. If a guy has been nails for you for 3 years, you don't throw him under the bus. The same thing happened to Z. It IS disgusting. and Pathetic. I don't like being associated with those types of Cubs fans. I love Z. I love Barrett. That doesn't mean we don't have the right to be upset with how they're playing. There is a difference between being upset with how someone is playing, and being an ungrateful Yankees fan. complete ignorance. Yankees fans complain when a 97 win team doesn't win the World Series or when a league wide MVP doesn't establish himself as a true Yankee. Cubs fans complain when a crappy player like Barrett comes back to earth after a few decent seasons and contributes to a team that's been miles under .500 while he's been here. Man, I can never understand the stupidity involved in order to call Cubs fans ungrateful.

    It just makes good baseball sense to take a pitch after a guy has issued a walk of course, Barrett has never been accused of having Baseball "Smarts". No, good baseball sense would be to sit dead red on a fastball over the plate since Wells really doesn't want to fall behind a hitter with the bases loaded. The problem is not with him swinging, it's just that he failed to recognize that it wasn't "his" pitch. David Wells isn't going to groove one out of fear of falling behind.

Barrett has been a decent hitter most of his time as a Cub. But he's been a moron the entire time he's been a Cubs and he's been a first pitch hacking fool over and over. What has he done for us lately? Nothing. What has he done a while ago? Very little. The team has sucked with Barrett as catcher. Is it his fault? No, but his crappy play contributes to the struggles and he's guilty by association for being on this team in the first place.

    I find it funny how melodramatic this statement is. Appalled? Wells isn't known for being wild. That right there should tell you something. For one, he's not going to groove the first pitch because he's afraid he'll walk the next guy. That's what a Kyle Farnsworth might do. His first pitch is going to be his pitch, the one he wants you to swing at.

    Where is all this griping about Pagan this year? i'm not going to go digging up quotes, but he's often the first person people want to send down when discussing future transactions The first people 99% of the people want gone is Jones, or maybe Eyre. Pagan has been on the list because he's more realistic, given his option status, and he's never been all that good. I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

  10. jersey cubs fan
    people love to hate Pagan, but I don't really see why: .304/.371/.518/.889 with 2 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 6 BB, 12 K in 56 AB's. Not sure what else you want from your 5th OF He's had a great start to 2007. If he maintained anywhere even close to those numbers it would be a miracle. But he's had a pretty long career which suggests his numbers won't be anywhere near those levels. But he could be a decent 5th OF.

    When all is said and done, Barrett is going to get the majority of catcher at bats. But he's not an everyday player and he's very clearly messed up in the head right now. He's fighting with coaches and players, repeatedly in the middle of controversy and bad plays. Sitting for a couple days isn't going to kill the team.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Or, they could just RELEASE SCOTT EYRE. Yeah, if they go back to 12 pitchers and call somebody up. The question is who do they call up.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Why would he be available? Burrell could give you 20-30 hit over .280 and OBP over .380 as well.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Burrell for Jones and Eyre could be interesting. Burrell and Philly have never gotten along, even less than they did with Abreu. He's a bit overpaid and has a NTC, but those things can be negotiated. He's struggling a little this year but he's a good bet to be a 115-125 OPS+ guy and he could really help the Cubs lineup.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    He's 35 year old and his contract expires at 36. I'm sure there's a strong chance he'll be willing to retire when he's done with the Cubs, whether that is today or next year. He's got millions guaranteed, and for him to earn another contract he'd have to work his butt off.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    I think it will depend on what happens during the next 3 days. If the starters go deep and the bullpen stays untaxed, they may call up Ward or Moore. Ward should be okay to pinch hit within a couple days if he's starting at DH in AAA. I would say there is an outside shot that Cedeno could be called up.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    If anything, the DH makes it easier to deal with fewer bench players. You don't need to pinch hit for any pitchers, or make any double switches, so a 3 man bench is more tolerable.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Lou hates Barrett. He said something to him after Barrett was picked off, and Barrett decided to argue with him. I think he's looking for any reason not to play the guy.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    If he means because Dempster was unavailable, I have no problem with the comment. But the staff is 13, the bullpen is only 8. Yeah, I said only 8.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    A truly "butters-esque" comment. I can definitely hear Butters saying the same thing.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    he had one poor inning and was hurt by a derosa error. His WHIP for the game was below 1.00, he just got unlucky today. absolutely. He was fine today. He was doing great until he couldn't throw strikes anymore. Yeah, I'm not saying he had a great outing or was without any blame for that inning. But he was fine overall. The offense almost let him down, but squeezed out just enough.

    12 games before the next Milwaukee series. I'm hoping for 8-4, but would take 7-5.
