Well on the bright side if they continue this type of dreadful performance they'll get a pretty decent draft pick next year.

I'm so afraid that Jim will trade Vitters. If Hendry is dumb enough to trade Vitters, Castro, Jackson etc to try and salvage this season then I'll be the first one in front of Wrigley with a Fire Jim Hendry sign. That type of move would be a ploy to save his job and would have nothing to do with helping the team. I agree, but he's gonna make a move to respond to DeRosa. I hope it isn't Vitters plus a guy for a month and a half of Holliday. I dont' even know how I would react to something like that. Something like that would stand a high chance of making me into a casual fan; I couldn't make myself follow this team with the same intensity.

I don't think I want this team to be a seller just yet, but I certainly don't want them to make any deal involving legit prospects. I'd much rather just stay with what we have and let things play out rather than give up prospects trying to salvage this abomination of a season.

Really? Carpenter is far better than any pitcher on the Cubs Wainwright is as good as any pitcher on the Cubs Pineiro isn't as good, but is pitched as well as any pitcher on the Cubs Lohse is hurt, but he's a a solid 3rd, good 4th starter Wainwright would have the 4th best ERA on the Cubs. Carpenter would have the best ERA, but he's pitched a grand total of 65 innings. ow has Piniero pitched as well as any starter on the Cubs? Lshe is hurt? Go back to St. Louis. Carpenter's resume is solidified. Nobody on your staff is even close Wainwright over the last 3 seasons has been as good as any Cub starter, and this year he'd be second in VORP on the Cubs behind Lilly, who he is a much better pitcher than. Lilly is basically Kyle Lohse with a few more Ks, but more walks. I didn't say Pineiro was a good pitcher, but he's having a very good season. You worry about Ks, I worry about HRs and BBs. And he's given up 12 walks in 92 innings. That's great. And he's given up 2 home runs. It wont last, but that's not what I argued. Carp >>>>>>>> Zambrano Wainwright > Harden (Should he even count? He doesn't even pitch and when he does, he's awful). Lilly = Lohse Dempster > Pineiro, but that's not saying much Randy Wells? Marshall vs. Brad Thompson. Whatever, they all suck. Go to sleep. Can we get a ban on this idiot? Between today's game and the trade I don't have the patience to deal with people like him.

Good thing Lou took out Marshall. I mean he's only a loogy; not a former starter.

Without Guzman, nope.

Nice range Theriot.

Not feeling good about the rest of this game.

Second best BAA in baseball, but half this team can't get ahead of a hitter to save their life.

Christ Heilman, could you get ahead of just one hitter?

Getting destroyed by a trash player; I wouldn't expect anything less.

How does a cut off man throw a 15 hopper to third base? That was an extremely weak throw by Blanco.

I've never seen the announcers slurp a guy so hard who got rocked for 5 runs in 5 IP. Demp might be inline for the win, but he certainly doesn't deserve it for "limiting damage" after he gave up a two runs single with two outs.

Thank god he's not as stupid as I thought.

Clutch.

Sori, finally.

Who else should be back there? Martin? McCann? Brian McCann?

In what world does Yadier Molina deserve to start the ASG?

Lou is an absolute moron. I didn't realize the Cub offense was so potent that he could just let a pitcher get hit around and depend on a comeback.

Yeah Lou just sit in the dugout; don't bother to come out and calm down Demp.

haha in what world is that not a strike?

Seriously?

I was going to be so pissed if he walked Wise again.

ugh.
