We won't need one of those. That would actually help the team. You know we can't be having that. :( I could be the bunting coach. Now that's a position we need.
Except building a team with a combination of good OBP and power, and have a manager that knew how to use his players to get maximum performance. But yeah, other than that, we've tried everything. Fixed. cubbiechris said that, not me.
Why? Just because Ozzie played for the Sox doesn't mean that's the answer. Francona didn't bleed Red. McKeon might be an old dude but he didn't win because of his knowledge of South Florida history. Same with Brenly in Arizona. Saying the Cubs need a manager that understands Chicago and the history is absolutely ludicrous. I know the history -- we've sucked more or less for a century. Where do I sign? Send me a finder's fee and I'll see who i can talk to. Finder's fee? You're my bench coach. Can I bee the pitching coach? I can wear out arms like the best of them. Or the hitting coach? I'm sure I can figure out a way for the Cubs to swing and miss much more gracefully.

Okay let's get another laid back California dude....Why is that Ludicrous? Wouldn't you want a manager that has pride for his town and team? Didn't Dikta have that? Doesn't Ozzie have that? Heck this team has tried everything else! And who would you suggest be the manager?
God forbid that we actually win. I was disappointed on Wednesday that we didn't bring Rusch in for Zambrano before we scored 5 runs in the 6th. If we bring Rusch in during the fourth or fifth innings, it's guaranteed that he gives up a bunch a runs and the Cubs are too demoralized to hit the ball by the sixth.

And since the game is already over, why take Rusch out? Why not just make him throw 70-80 pitches whether he gives up no runs or 12 runs? Don't bring Williamson in.
I posted this in another thread and will continue to bring it up but I really hope Pujols breaks Bonds's HR record. I don't know if he'll be able to do it, but I'll be pulling for him.
Adam Dunn would have been able to stop on the play Bonds went into the stands on. Adam Dunn would have also at least gotten to the ball on Bynum's triple. He may not have caught the ball, but he probably would have got a glove on it. Bonds basically gave the Cubs those 2 runs. I guarantee he is going to cost the Giants a couple games this year and I'm going to enjoy it. He runs about as well as my grandpa does.
