You know this answer. Quite possibly one of the worst GM's of all time. Well Stoney took some shots at him for trading for Burnitz and then Burnitz sucking butt in New York
They never let it rest. That's one of the reasons I hate ESPN. Once the masses of Cub Fans let it go, so will ESPN & Fox. Gary Miller was out there and said the guy sitting in the "Bartman Seat" didn't even know it. I think Cubs fans are over it, and want people to shut up about it.
Today is one of those rare days when I'll watch ESPN instead of WGN. Love to hear what Stoney has to say about the team these days. He's already said he thinks Burnitz will be back next year [-(
He is? I guess I haven't seen that. He's been an OF this year because that's where our biggest need for him has been, not second base. I don't understand where you're going with that or why you're complaining that he's been used in our awful outfield. Before he was moved to OF everyone was wondering if he could play OF because he was out of place. Now it seems like that's the only spot Dusty will play him... Exactly. Perez has moved above Hairston on the depth chart at 2B, even though Hairston is a natural 2B
That's only because Dusty put him in positions where he could succeed against lefties. And he couldn't put Murton in positions to succeed against righties?
Actually, one of the positions Macias doesn't play is SS. He hasn't played there at all as a Cub, and has only about 40 innings logged there in his career. Considering how much value they seem to place on his versatility, this seems to be a knock against that value. A guy who is supposed to be able to play all these positions should be able to play short. It's not hard to find backup OF. They have plenty of 2B depth. So really his only "value" is his ability to backup 3B, but any middle infield utility player should be able to do the same job, and the Cubs have a couple minor leaguers that can handle that backup duty. Equally sad is Baker's insistence that Hairston is a OF when he is probably one of the better IF's defensively
yeah i wont. my honeymoon in hawaii isnt going to be stopped by non-Cubs played baseball in october... bums..... You all complain now. But when no ball is played on October 5th, on November 5th, on December 5th...we'll all be missing the Cubs. No, I'll still be pissed at the Cubs for throwing away yet another promising season with inept play and idiotic managing. Why, when you can turn that energy towards being pissed at the Illini, Blackhawks and Bears instead?
