Dempster is garbage..its time we got a real closer. we already have one!!! true.

Freakin Dempster...I hate him.

Dempster sucks

The Brewer lineup simply destroys that of the Cubs. I'm not sure the Cubs advantage on pitching makes up for the offensive inferiority(sp?)

Forgive my ignorance. What? Geovany Soto

Soto

I'm sure this no name lefty will own the Cubs tonight.

The impact of hitting and pitching coaches is often severly overestimated, IMO.

Being late constantly will get you fired at alot of work environments. Obviously this is not the first time this has happened with him. As a professional ballplayer you are expected to arrive at a certain time. Not doing so shows a bad attitude towards the team. Its really that simple. What is the defense for Eric? Its just hard for him to wake up? Insomnia?

Ozzie Smith

It could be worse, they could be hanging out on Halsted at night. not that there is anything wrong with that of course

Rather than blame the lack of offense on Gerald Perry, I'd pefer to blame it on a lack of talent

So because hes late to a game, he has a garbage attitude? This has also been a problem at Iowa too as stated, and yes this is a garbage attitude.

Solid move by the Cubs...seems this kid has a garbage attitude.

The trade should be 6-7 PTBNL...just to balance it out.

oh sweet mercy that would be awesome.

There's a discussion about Japanese FA's mostly centering around Fukudome here. Thanks. It appears if other teams enter the bidding, the price for Fukudome could push over 10 million per season. Not quite sure if he would be worth that.

Is thsi Fukudome guy any good?

If you don't want this team to make the playoffs then you are not a fan. Why, exactly, is that? I happen to agree with Derwood's point of view, and I still consider myself a fan. Derwood's point is that he, like me, is sick and tired of this 1 decent year ever 4 or 5 with a load of utter crap marketed as a baseball team in the years between. Sure, 98 and 03 were boatloads of fun, but because of those years this franchise has never entered into rebuilding mode. Because the Cubs have never methodically rebuilt, the franchise hasn't fielded a great team in a long time. They have occasionally put decent teams on the field, but great teams win championships a lot more often than pretty decent ones do. In the last 20 years, the following NL teams have not managed a season of 95 wins: Rockies Marlins Brewers Cubs In fact, we've only won as many as 95 games once (1984) in the last 60 years. If you don't have a good foundation, the playoff years are going to be few and far between. Let me as you, are you a fan of the 2007 Cubs or the Cubs organization? It seems lately the theme for WS Champions has been get in the playoffs and anyone has a chance. This isn't like the NFL were inferior teams are usually eliminated in the first round. IF the Cubs make the playoffs they have a legit chance at a World Series.

If you don't want this team to make the playoffs then you are not a fan.

If I'm not mistaken by then wasn't Harry supposed to be on the wagon?

Cards and Brewers Win.... Double Turds! http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/images/spalding_smails_1.jpg

I'm just the opposite, this loss steams me...Wandy freakin Rodriquez...this isn't Roy Oswalt or anyone...his last 2 starts (14 innings)we have pushed across 1 stinking run vs this guy..how in the hell does that happen?
