McClouth is the only guy they've traded worth the plane ticket to send him away

Phil Rogers takes stupidity to a new level...
Derwood replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wow, Ozzie Guillen was definitely right. That's just embarrassing. He's so shocked that people actually agreed with him he felt the urge to revisit the idea and shove it down our throats again. Nice. 11,000 people is a very good consensus in regards to the millions upon millions of fans the Cubs have in regards to this topic. And even of those 11,000 only about 6,000 actually said they should. I think we should trust those 6,000 or so people and do what's best for Phil Ro... I mean The Cubs. of those 6000, I'd say about 5900 were White Sox fans -
WWE fans have WAY more signs than MLB fans.

2002: Randy Wells, Rich Hill, Micah Hoffpauir 2003: Jake Fox, Sean Marshall, Tim Lincecum (did not sign) 2004: Eric Patterson, Sean Gallagher (both traded for Harden), Micah Owings (did not sign) 2005: Just bad 2006: Colvin (jury's out), Shark 2007: Vitters 2008: Cashner Is it great? No. But high payroll teams use the draft differently than low payroll teams. You use it to fill in the roster and to make trades.

if notre dame is relevant then they'll get great ratings, but what NBC is finding out is that the Big Ten/SEC/Big XII feature games will blow ND out of the water if ND isn't in the national title picture. not to mention that there will ALWAYS be a better game on than ND/Army, ND/Navy or ND/Stanford

pirates are only a couple of games behind the Cubs right now

Wendy's has some bleu cheese bacon burger right now. Fast food shouldn't do bleu cheese, ever

So DeRosa has fewer than twice the opportunities but yet more than three times the RBI's? You're making my point... I'm not saying Bradley is hitting as well as DeRosa, but that it's not entirely on him, that's all. Bradley needs to hit better AND his teammates need to give him more opportunities
-
To date, DeRosa has had 87 PA's with RISP (155 with men on base) Bradley has had 48 PA's with RISP (87 with men on base) I wonder why one guy has more RBI than the other?
-
RBI's aren't the best way, sure. But when your big run producing offseason acquisition has 16 RBI's at the end of June... that's very telling. For comparison, Mark DeRosa drove in his 16th run on April 27th. yes, and he had a .618 OPS at the time, which only proves that guys were getting on base ahead of DeRosa at a much higher clip than the guys in front of Bradley. You're missing the point. The point is, we traded a run producer to clear payroll to add a supposed bigger run producer. And that supposed run producer has been a complete bust. Meanwhile, the guy we traded has three times as many RBI's. no, you're missing the point. you're using RBI's as your main point of comparison. The fact that DeRosa had 16 RBI on April 27th had less to do with DeRosa being better (his numbers at the time sucked) and more to do with opportunities. Bradley has been bad, but he's also played less frequently and had fewer opportunities to drive guys in.

how can a GM that most would rate as decidedly average be overrated? well he's apparently the worst in baseball so clearly the people rating him as average are overrating him. I guess he really is the worst. God knows I've been pining for the GM's of the Nationals, Astros and Mariners to come in and replace Hendry....

Because Cubs fans never have a beer in their hand. or yell at players

he might not be going anywhere today, but I'd be shocked if he's still and Indian on August 1
