From Buster Olney's Twitter. @Buster_ESPN: Just mentioned: In some important corners of the Cubs' front office, there is concern about investing huge $ in one player this winter.
-
How is this even possible? It's becoming really hard to be a fan of this abomination of a franchise. Hendry should have been gone 2 years ago. The Ricketts have no idea how to run a baseball team. I hate this so much.
-
Should Hednry get another chance?

I stopped reading after the first sentence. -
"chicago"? I didn't mean to quote Chicago, but I do think he longs of retiring back to his home in Tampa. Tampa sounds great to me. Can we trade managers? :beg:

Big Z's fastball is officially the same speed as Strasburg's change-up... -
About time. Although I'm not excited about Tracy being the guy. Hurry up and develop Josh Vitters!

In no way shape or form am I trying to take all the blame away from Lou. He has done a terrible job since he's been here, and he can't even go to his "bread and butter" by arguing and getting the crowd hyped up since he is too old. However, you can't give Rothschild all the praise for good pitching performances and turn the other cheek on Jaramillo when we can't buy a hit. As the "premiere hitting coach in baseball" I expect results and refuse to throw him a bone just because it's his first season here. If our pitchers were struggling, would it be "we have bad pitchers" or would you blame Larry Rothschild? I just don't understand how you can have the double standard. If you are going to praise the coaches for good performances, you have to criticize them for the bad ones.

People around here go on and on about how great Larry Rothschild is, but what about the other side? There was nothing I was happier about than our newly acquired "star hitting coach" Rudy Jaramillo. Now here we are almost 60 games into the season and we can't buy a hit, let alone a run. Lou is getting tarred a feathered for his poor lineup changes, but I haven't heard a single bad word about Rudy. I will agree that Lou has made a mess of the season and his lineups all year long (not to mention the worst bullpen management in baseball), but what can he do without any bats? "Rudy Jaramillo is widely regarded as the premiere hitting instructor in the game," Cubs GM Jim Hendry said. " If this guy is the premiere hitting coach in the league, why is our clean-up hitter being considered for the DL? Why have our dependable starters had slumps at the plate all year long? I know Lou is an easy scapegoat, but it seems to me like he is only a minor part of the big issue. We can't hit but we attack our manager instead of our hitting coach. I don't get it. Regardless, its about time for this team to clean house. Starting with Jim Hendry.

Cubs win! Always love seeing the Cubs give Oswalt a L.

I really want to believe that A-Ram is coming around, but for now I'm going to go with the "even a broken clock is right twice a day" theory.
-
He is easily the best player on the roster. He has the potential to become one of the best closers in the league. Let's hope he doesn't pull an Eric Gagne!
-
I guess we are just going to have to wait on Josh Vitters to develop. I hate to say it but A-Ram looks done. This is looking like something way deeper than just a slump.
