    wow.
  2. abuck1220
    So he should have been fired after putting together a pretty good team in '04 and a semi-decent one in '05? I'm definitely not a Hendry fan, but your point of view seems a bit extreme. four games under .500 for a team w/ a $95 payroll isn't semi-decent. it's terrible.

    sarcasm? that was brutal. he about tripped over his feet and then overdove by about six inches. ??? Sure you didn't see the replay? the ball was about two feet to his left. the field conditions probably had something to do with it, but that's a play that should have been made. Didn't see the replay, but the fact that he had to leap and extend his body and still maintained getting a glove on it was good enough. like i said, it was likely due to the field conditions, but he shouldn't have even had to dive. i am glad he was able to knock it down though. good to see soriano's back to playing like he's never picked up a bat before.

    yeah, hill sucks at striking guys out.

    That's sort of my point. Hendry is responsible for a bunch of terrible moves, but he has made good ones also. What has Krivskey ever done? put together a team that, in 2006, finished 14 games ahead of hendry's team with half the payroll? That strikes me as more blind-luck than testament to his ability to oversee a major league ballclub. and that's how i feel about hendry's few successes. it amazes me that a fanbase that has suffered through so much losing has had such patience with hendry. if he were in any other big market city he would have been fired before he could have even put together that turd of a team in 2006.

    hill's filthy tonight, but i'm worried about how this strike zone is going to effect him.

    the notion of calling someone up to "showcase" them is just silly. murton has like 700 major league ab's and 1,000 minor league ab's. teams know what he's got...12 ab's this weekend isn't going to change that.
  11. abuck1220
    i'd maybe punch that second guy if i saw him on the street.
  12. abuck1220
    yeah, it's real dangerous to go there against floyd, brenly. he's liable to hit a single or something.

    it's just hard to watch marquis pitch. he's atrocious.
  14. abuck1220
    nice sign, hendry.
  15. abuck1220
    charge the mound and hurt marquis' pitching arm, please.
  16. abuck1220
    you suck, marquis.
  17. abuck1220
    why does everyone assume the cubs have the slightest bit of interest in salty? if they were willing to give a young catcher a chance, they would have already done it with soto.
  18. abuck1220
    this is mind-boggling... can that even be right? my goodness, this is a big market major league team...that's pathetic.
  19. abuck1220
    after seeing this trade, i almost want hendry to just do nothing.
  20. abuck1220
    yeah, theriot's ability to play centerfield (??) has been paying off big time lately.
  21. abuck1220
    cedeno at ss, theriot at 2b, derosa in rf. scary as it sounds, that might be the best the cubs can do. they need to upgrade this offense.

    i can't complain...at least he didn't go to somebody i'm fighting for a playoff spot.
  23. abuck1220
    lots of high scores this week. pitching carried me this week...60+ points from my pen and 120 points from hill, guthrie and smoltz.
  24. abuck1220
    if you think the cubs are going to continue to win games by dribbling grounders through the infield, you're in for a disappointment.
  25. abuck1220
    this offense ain't winning the division.
