    Right. And why should Baker play the youth when guys like Cedeno pinch hit and swing at the first pitch every time? His lack of confidence certainly rubs off.
  2. Derwood
    and tell me how you know they'll waste away on the bench? this could be a precursor to dusty's firing, which would lead to young players actually having a chance to play. We'll see what happens, but how would this indicate Dusty being fired? If Baker was going out, Dubois would stay and both Macias and Perez would sit or be released. If that doesn't happen, this is almost like the opposite. That's a good point. Perez and Macias are a couple of Baker's "dudes", and are probably only on the roster per Baker's request. If Baker is canned, those two can't be far behind.

    there is no way these guys play unless Hollandsworth and Burnitz are traded. It just doesn't make sense. This isn't a rebuilding team in September here folks. You don't bench Burnitz for Murton no matter how bad the team is doing. Besides, this isn't Burnitz's fault.

    There is a certain amount of "if you don't play the right way, you're going down to the minors" about this, but this is too out of left field for something else not to be happening.
  5. Derwood
    But despite the losing streak, isn't it early to pack it in and play the youth? This is a $100 million team. I can't see Hendry waving the white flag in the first week of July.

    and....how soon before cubs.com posts this news? Saturday?
  7. Derwood
    Maybe this move precludes a trade....Payton was sent down today, Graves before he was traded, etc... Maybe, but that's sorta weird. Why bring up AA guys then? Why not just bring up Kelton or whoever? And what could possibly get for Patterson at this point?
  8. Derwood
    Mods, feel free to fix the title of my thread here to include Dubois.
  9. Derwood
    They probably outrighted him, which means he'd have to clear waivers. Neat. So instead of trading him while he had value, we're now basically giving him away. Sweet.
  10. Derwood
    Perhaps they're sending guys to AAA to familiarize Iowa's manager with our personnel so when they fire Dusty he'll know some faces for his interim stint.
  11. Derwood
    OF's Adam Greenburg and Matt Murton purchased from AA West Tennessee. Dangling for trade bait or packing it in?
  12. Derwood
    Could this be the start of Jim Hendry blowing this mutha up?
  13. Derwood
    wow, source?
  14. Derwood
    New starting CF: Darren Baker. But seriously....will Corey's attitude change? How will he take this?
  15. Derwood
    I started a thread on it in "Transactions"
  16. Derwood
    Just reported at the end of Baseball Tonight. More at midnight eastern they say. WOW!

    I have to disagree with most of you. Boers and Bernstein is my all time favorite sports talkshow in my 30 years on this earth. Why? They understand that even though sports is their job, it's still sports. It's not the end of the world. People playing games for outrageous amounts of money. Plus they aren't homers. They will call out the most revered and idolized local sports figures if they say anything stupid. They told it like it was about Sosa, about Jordan, and many others. I for one am glad to have the chance to hear "Who you Crappin' " on the web now!

    It's telling when a game thread only produces 16 pages of posts. No one here even cares, and we're among the biggest fans in the world.
  19. Derwood
    Oh look, Andruw Jones is already up again. Time flies when you're getting shelled.
  20. Derwood
    This team isn't even "fun-bad"
  21. Derwood
    I know he threw the meatball on a 0-2 count, but shouldn't Barrett or mgmt get some of the blame for calling for that pitch? That's not where Barrett set up to catch it.
  22. Derwood
    What's the over/under on the Cubs being in 4th place by the break?
  23. Derwood
    That's the scoring tonight folks! Tip your wait staff!
  24. Derwood
    I stand corrected. We just used up the one run for tomorrow night's game as well.
  25. Derwood
    And their is the Cubs one and only run.
