    What is Alex Brown's problem? He gout outplayed by a rookie who is better than his average season was. Get over it Alex and play better.
  2. Wilson A2000
    I do too. It's the first game. I am pulling for him. He sounded very happy to be here and I am all for that.

    Kendall cost 2 runs that game. Great pickup! He's Barrett with a new name.

    Cedeno should be tried out b/c Fontenot has nose-dived and Theriot might need to be moved to 2B
  5. Wilson A2000
    I am a little worried about Fontenot's OBP. It is only 20 points above hsi average. Has he always been a free swinger?

    Kinda like Wellmeyer a few years ago. Or "can't miss" Juan Cruz. Or a whole host of other possibilities that are "something" in the minors but never amount to anything in the majors. Minor leaguers are almost always gonna be an unknown. Hopefully this works in the Cubs favor. But it's not like Blevins was one of the Cubs top prospects for crying out loud. He's had a very good first half in A and AA ball. Juan Cruz had a decent ERA with the Cubs. To bad he never got run support. His stuff was good. 3.18 ERA out of the pen this year for AZ.

    We don't know how much Oakland is paying us for Kendall (if any). But this is weird. The Cubs wouldn't pay to get rid of Jones, but they acquired a player who has a worse average and makes a good deal of money and weren't afraid of doing that? Does this mean Selig struck down that deal?

    So you're regularly in the clubhouse then? I don't get it. I said players don't like Barrett for a number of reasons. A few people said I am just correlating the matter. I said this is not in my mind because Z and Barrett got in a fight. Z's dislike for Barrett caused the fight. This isn't hard.

    RAVICH SAID IT AGAIN THAT MARSHALL IS GONE
  10. Wilson A2000
    Z punching Barrett=causation not correlation
  11. Wilson A2000
    Most of the players disliked Barrett. Barrett was a bad defensive catcher, couldn't hit well, and Z nearly killed him. The Cubs have been great since he left. It was a good move.

    From the ESPN article. He may be a year or two late as Kendall's OBP is miserable this year, but at least Hendry acknowledged OBP. It's something, at least. He acknowledged OBP, but doesn't know that a high OBP is good. I guess it's one at a time for Jim!
  13. Wilson A2000
    So let's say they keep Hill. Henry is close to coming back even though he has had three cortisone shots. So a Blanco and Kendall rotation is in the mix soon?
  14. Wilson A2000
    When I heard them say that, I was afraid they were thinking about moving Dempster to the rotation again. That wouldn't happen. You don't take a guy who has been a closer for three years coming off the DL and stick him into the rotation.
  15. Wilson A2000
    The ESPN ticker doesn't mention Marshall. They must have used the mlb.con article as a source. Do the Cubs even have another fifth starter?
  16. Wilson A2000
    Baseball Tonight just said Marshall was traded
  17. Wilson A2000
    He knows how, but that's as far as it goes with him this year
  18. Wilson A2000
    So who's leaving for Petrick?
  19. Wilson A2000
    I can't believe that Hendry said that the first catcher who hits a homer stays and the other will be traded
  20. Wilson A2000
    I think he meant the first team to do it against the might Coob
  21. Wilson A2000
    I really do think Hendry and Wayne Krivsky are one in the same. We don't need more bullpen help. We need offense from RF, CF, C, SS. Don't you need a decent LOOGY in the playoffs?
  22. Wilson A2000
    We have won one playoff series in the last 100 years and Kerry is the main reason for it. That is why he can do nothing for three years yet still be the best. Too bad game 7 happened? Where was he in that one?
  23. Wilson A2000
    I just saw video of it on the news and it looks TERRIBLE. It is much worse than I thought it was hearing some of the players describe it. There must be 100 brown patches and holes in the ground. Some look to be a couple of feet big. There are a couple of large sections of sod put in that look to be 5 feet by 10 feet or so. All in all it looks terrible. I am embarrassed as a Cubs fan that our players have to play on a field that crappy.
  24. Wilson A2000
    The Neifi factor
  25. Wilson A2000
    I don't know how big the spots are, but I heard that they are going to let the majority of them fill themselves in. That won't happen this season though because grass seeds itself in the spring.
