08/11 - PHI (Happ) @ COBS (Harden) - 7:05 - CSN

This is the type of patience that needs to continue happening. -
This thread just put me into a state of depression.

I saw some people say that their no. 1 priority is to revamp the bullpen. That's fine and dandy, but to me that seems like it is a moderate crap shoot. You don't want to spend to much on relievers and even if you do that relievers never seem to be consistant from year to year. It just seems too risky to only focus on that. I'd like to see what we can do with this offense. We have a lot of aging players who are declining. I'm not sure who we would sign, or if it even would be an option though.

Yeah, the Cubs can pretty much kiss my ass. That's all I got. -
Bobby Cox should have pulled a Z and threw the ump out.

erik, you say this a lot, sarcastically, like it implies that there is a clutch. it would be nice if you would try to back this up with something other than your own worthless words. thanks. there is such a thing as clutch; however, it's generally a non-repeatable skill and to make future decisions based on it would be stupid. Hey, man. Back those words up otherwise they're worthless! I'll admit to not being the biggest stat guy around. However, logic simply dictates that if anti-clutch exists, then clutch exists as well. I'm not trying to prove or disprove the existence of either, but if one exists, so does the other. If nothing else, this particular stat proves that our favorite baseball team is indeed anti-clutch, but then if they are, then there is a way to be clutch as well. No it doesn't. -
The Royals have been hard to watch The Nationals (although they've played well the last week or so)
-
Please get on Bradley and lets see if Lee can hit it through the invisible wall in left field this time.
-
I know it's annoying to watch a player make a lazy play, mostly because it's something that we can do on the field, but in the long run does it matter that much?
-
I'd feel much better about this game if it was pre-humidor. That and if Jimenez wasn't on the mound.
-
What did he say? I'm stuck watching the Rockies feed. Bob has always hated, Soriano, imo. Continued lack of hustle and constant boneheaded play will do that to someone. Maybe Soriano can call up to the booth and tell Bob to knock it off. And then tell Bob that he can't see him.
-
That joke was awesome.
-
Bob being Bob. He is totally unprofessional when talking about Soriano. He does like to take a shot at him whenever possible. It's funny considering Bob isn't even half the player Soriano was (which is probably why he gets so annoyed at him for "not playing the game the right way")
-
It really doesn't matter that much in the long run but it really is stupid that he doesn't even attempt to run hard sometimes. And Fontenot better hope he gets hit or something because he isn't hitting this guy.
-
Hooray for luck.
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
-
I'm really sick of this leaving men on base crap.
-
Please don't screw this up. It'd be really nice if the most interesting part of this game wasn't a debate about Jim Hendry in a message board thread.
-
I like how you say that like it's crazy. It is. A few good trades does not absolve him from the other absolutely brutal moves he's made. He's hit and miss, imo. I'm willing to give him a pass for the time being for the recent Pac Rim efforts and the 2008 draft. He has had some hits. I don't like the guy, but I'll admit when he's done well. He did a good job getting Aram, Lee, and Harden in here. He's broadened our international scouting efforts, and we had a good draft. But he's handcuffed us with terrible contracts, has made some awful personnel decsions, is completely incapable of admitting when he's wrong, changes organizational philosophies more often than some people change their underwear, brought Dusty in here to wreck Prior and Wood, gave Dusty way too much power in personnel descions, let Dusty run the team for FAR too long when he should have been fired sometime in 2005 or early 2006, and I know I'm forgetting a few things. It's hard for me to want to fire Hendry when he has done the best that a GM can possibly do. He won 2 straight titles and very could well win 3 straight. Has he set it up to where the future could be bleak, possibly, but I don't see any way it's ethical or right to fire a guy who has done what he's supposed to do based off of an unknown future.
-
Most of the GMS could win if they got 110 million and thier opponents got 60 million. That essentially creates a scenario where Hendry (or any GM in a similar situation) can't win so criticism is kind of useless.
-
There seems to be a lot of similarities between heroin and the Cubs.
-
I'm tired of Jeff.
-
I quit.
-
If the Rockies innings were as quick as the Cubs this game would be over by now.
-
For some reason I have a feeling that we're going to lose 3-1.
