Post counts, plz.

I just moved to the St. Louis area on Saturday. Still "living" in a hotel. Crazy week. Dirty Birds everywhere.
-
I haven't lived in New York in six years. My last name has Wood in it; my sn has nothing to do with Kerry.

With Theo in the fold, I could come around on Sandberg. I would rather have a GM that looks for talent, and a manager that pushes that talent to be all they can be than have a GM that looks for hard workers and a manager/coaching staff that tries to make them talented.
-
Once Theo is in the fold, couldn't he wait a year to hire a gm?

Friedman, Beane, Cashman Possibly Byrnes, Hoyer, Atlanta guy, Cherington, and the Tampa assistant that's supposed to be really good, Hahn to a lesser extent. I don't consider that entire list equal, but I consider every one of them to be at least the equal of Epstein + $13 million (in extra salary) plus McNutt. Which is why I included "near equal" and only said 4-5, you ignorant SOB. I hope you die. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I'm pretty sure that ignorant SOB just agreed with you.

chirp chirp.

Jesus Not to further derail this thread, but how much difference would Carlos Silva have made over that list of "scrubs"?

Yom Kippur is almost over.

In retrospect....

I love that the Cubs are the proverbial prettiest girl at the ball, but don't tease me like this. They are more like the sluttiest girl at prom. The new guy is guaranteed to get laid that night, but if things aren't handled the right way, things can get crazy in a hurry, and he may wind up regretting that prom night the rest of his life. So you're saying the Cubs have herpes?

It's not so much the 200 hits. It's the 200 hits prior to age 22. Which would make him the 10th to ever do that... Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, Joe DiMaggio, Buddy Lewis, Vada Pinson, Alex Rodriguez, Garry Templeton, Hal Trosky, and Lloyd Waner. I think we all know that Starlin needs to improve his defense, take more walks, and hit for more power. Luckily, at least the first and third of those things tend to get better as players enter their prime, which Starlin is probably 2 or 3 years away from. or 4...or 5. He's really young.

09/12 CUBS (Lopez) @ DBR (Willis) 6:10 CDT, CSN

Our Cubs have quietly gone from absolutely putrid to merely very bad. -
For 2 years, the Giants called Jerome Williams "Jeremy."

Taken from the comments section: PTBNL -
so when cub management goes down to iowa or tennessee to see how guys are playing and evaluate whether they might be able to make a positive contribution to the big club, what is that called? "watching"? davearm, you've allowed your argument to be derailed into what he does, but your original point was right on. Wilken and Fleita serve in totally different roles.

Ricketts hired him back in July, but has kept it secret.

Ricketts' List of GM Candidates (Chicago Tribune)
Bull replied to MrCub14's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It is all relative. He is with the Red Sox now. No its not relative. You said the Cubs are tight with spending and they have the 6th biggest payroll in baseball, 3rd last year. Sorry if the Cubs didn't shell out an extra 20 mil during a period where ownership changed and inherited an extremely flawed and overpaid team. 20 mil probably wouldn't have made this team a playoff team so theres no point in adding more high priced and potentially disasterous contracts. Rickets did the right thing and invested the money in scouting and the draft. Epstein would love smart ownership like that, possibly because it reminds him of the team he's currently with and not the bumbling band of morons that have symbolized the cubs front office for several decades. His wording was flawed, but his point stands. Epstein has no motivation to jump ship. He has a situation that is already good. Everyone credits him with making it good, and while the Cubs' payroll is high the one he has now is higher than high. why leave? -
I'm in favor of banning this... if it help us win a championship awesome

Kenney Gets What Kenney Wants!

I'm SO glad that Mr. Soriano doesn't regret signing a bloated contract that will probably keep the next 3 generations of his family very rich while he gave us 2 good seasons, 2 productive seasons, and 1 bad season plus whatever else is to come. And here I was feeling sorry for him. Why feel sorry for him? Because (according to the quote) the team has been a disappointment and Soriano thought hewas signing on with a winner. I was just stating the ridiculousness of anyone even asking him if he regretted the contract to begin with. There are a lot of people who should regret that contract, but Alfonso isn't one of them. agreed.
-
That's all fine and good if that's what they're thinking. I just pray they're not buying into all this leadership BS. Eh, the person that is gonna make the first base decision next year is likely not even working for the Cubs right now When did Kenney get the boot?
-
leave it alone. it's better that way.
