    That, ladies and gents, is called execution. I need to wipe the tears from my eyes. Why can't we see this more often?

    Christ Almighty TAKE THE WALK RAM. Ball was 2 feet outside.

    Yeah he has been neifi-esque lately. His average has dipped to .281 and his OBP is probably under .300 by now. Ouch! Fred, how bout some previous 7 day stats for me? Cedeno AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS 05/09 - 05/16 27 3 4 0 0 0 4 0 1 10 0.148 0.179 0.148 0.327 Yes, that qualifies as major suckage. Ummm, don't we pay a hitting coach damn good money to help youngsters out of slumps like these?

    Maybe he got sick of pitching to a guy who is dressed like an Sherman tank.

    I know you are being sarcastic but I have seen and heard this excuse so many times I have to comment. The fact that they game Hendry an extension is not an excuse to give one to Baker. All the writers who keep saying you have to give Baker one since Hendry has one are completely insane. This isn't preschool where if one kids brings candy to class he has to share with everybody. You don't justify a stupid extension by saying somebody else got a stupid extension. I agree. But if the Cubs think highly enough of Perez/Hendry/Rusch's performance to give them extensions of more than one year, I find it hard to think they'll not do the same for Dusty- whose level of suckness is at least on par with theirs. We won tonight. Win tomorrow and it's officially a winning streak. BOOM!! Baker extension time baby! 8)

    Understood. It's a situation that Hendry has put himself in, however. Basically you're saying he's out of bullets. And I can't argue it. A good GM wouldn't get himself into such a mess.

    Once it gets this bad, there's no coming back. It would be a miracle.
  8. Soul
    Same excuses from Hendry. He has no clue, it's obvious. And here are some obvious responses to Mr. Hendry: Didn't know Prior and Wood would miss time? LMAO. Wake up man, the whole country knew it except you. Thought Rusch and Williams would perform well? Wow. That pretty much says it all, doesn't it? Anyone with half a brain knew they were shaky. Look at the Stros? Sure, pal. Let's. They came back because they had an ACTUAL GOOD BALLCLUB. We don't. And you created it. Time to skip town because you aren't getting it done. The proof is in. Hendry can't cut it. Either the Trib eats that extension and fires him, or we're in for 2 more years of hell. Mark it down.
  9. Soul
    Without Prior, Wood, and Lee? And with discombobulated position players being thrown in every which way such as Walker & Mabry & Neifi? And with Dempster feeling like the man that time forgot? And with Dusty being as terrible a manager as he is? We might not be 1-13 bad. But we're bad, make no mistake. I pegged us for 3rd or 4th place. As it turns out, that was probably optimistic.
  10. Soul
    Good. We obviously can't through Hendry's thick skull. Maybe the white hot light of national embarrassment will. On second thought maybe not.
  11. Soul
    Dusty's postgame said it all. He's a beaten man. There are no answers forthcoming, no moves that will be made. It's suckfest royale, and there's no end in sight.

    Fire Dusty

    Soul replied to Andy's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    I am suprised Len and Bob are blaming everything and everyone but the Cubs players and managers for this slide. They leave out the fact that Dusty's batting order is horrible and that the team is playing very poor fundamental baseball. At some point they have to stop spouting the company line and give some objective analysis. Everyone at home can see how bad the Cubs are and it is insulting to hear them blame it on "good fortune" or bad luck. After what happened to Stone I can't say I blame them.
  13. Soul
    He'll probably trade the wrong guys....probably start with Walker. Oh no. Can't start trading players. Have to extend Baker too. Anything else would be admitting mistakes have been made.
  14. Soul
    Howry's junk now. What the hell happened to this guy?
  15. Soul
    OK. I just got done writhing on the floor in convulsions at the realization of how terrible this team is. I'm much better now, thanks.
  16. Soul
    Or at least Murray or Sucliffe. They should let Len and Bob start drinking after the Cubs fall behind by 5 runs. Len & Bob are starting to realize Harry Caray was a wise man. A wise man, indeed 8)
  17. Soul
    Len's like, "please don't leave yet Eddie. please don't leave us!!"
  18. Soul
    He's heating up, let's give him an extension!
  19. Soul
    He was being extraordinarily gracious :) I'm sure he wanted to say "I thought Seattle was bad!!"
  20. Soul
    The Iowa Cubs might give us a better chance to win right now.
  21. Soul
    First time in 120 years we've been swept in a season series I believe. If that doesn't earn you a pink slip in the midst of a massive losing streak, I don't know what does.
  22. Soul
    I think you're wrong, but I'd love to see it. Perhaps, but I have staked out the position, and I don't want to welch. :) I'm with ya. Not because it's true, but because I'm desperate for any ray of hope at this point.
  23. Soul
    Fire Baker. 8) I wish it was that easy. They are already talking extension! Man, only the Cubs are this futile. I'm so glad the boo birds are out today. Think on the bright side. Hendry is looking for a winning streak so he can extend Baker. But there's not going to be one, so he can't. Hopefully MacPhail will finally realize what a mistake it was to extend Hendry, and buy him out. Throw both of these guys out, they've both done a poor job. Eating salary for the Tribune is like eating salad for you & I. Sure, you'd rather have steak but the veggies aren't all that bad and they might improve your health later on :wink:

    Mass booage.
