    Nice knowing ya Lawton. You were pretty worthless for us. We should have never traded for him anyways.
  2. YearofDaCubs
    WHo cares the fact is we all knwo that the Cubs are probably lead the league in lack of fundamentals. Lawton? A waste and wont be back so who cares. THe bigger problem is what are we going to do as a team about fundamentals? One thing is to fire the coaching staff including Dusty. I'm sure that would help just a bit.
  3. YearofDaCubs
    Wow, just crazy. I guess you get to see everything at a circus.
  4. YearofDaCubs
    Foulke, Wickman, Hermanson, Guardado, Todd Jones, Mesa(pirates), Looper(Mets).
  5. YearofDaCubs
    I rather use that money towards signing and OF and SS.
  6. YearofDaCubs
    One thing to consider though is when Barrett was catching for the Expos their overall ERA was pretty low.
  7. YearofDaCubs
    What else is new.
  8. YearofDaCubs
    Well, I refuse to watch another game this season. Especially now that the lineup will look like this: Lawton Walker Lee Burnitz Barret Neifi Corey Macias pitcher pathetic.
  9. YearofDaCubs
    Neifi as a bench player isnt a problem. The problem is Dusty plays him like he is a starter. He plays him over Hairston at 2B for crying out loud.

    All Hendry had to do was sign a FA OF instead of allowing Holla to be our LF. I mean really what in the hell was Hendry and Dusty thinking that they would thinkg Holla would be a good option out in LF? Hendry is always looking for cheap deals in FA. They only thing he has paid top dollar for in FA are for set up men and that hasn't worked out well at all. How come all the teams that paid top dollar for the top FAs have significantly improved? Look at the Angels when they signed Vlad. Look at O's with Tejada? Even the Mets with Beltran are a better team especially now that Beltran has been tearing it up as of late. Boston signed Foulke to a FA contract a couple years ago and they rode him down the stretch of the playoff run to a WS win. Hendry with all that payroll needs to pay the top FAs top dollar if we really want to make a run to the WS. All that money wasted on Holla, Neifi, Macias, Burnitz and others could have got you a better OF. This offseason will be interesting because there are terrible FA options available. I dont care if you have to sell the farm get us a good OF and strengthen the team to the point where it is a no question WS contender.

    It's to the point where I'm not surprised with Baker anymore. He has stepped over so many boundaries that it is beyond ridiculous. The Cubs organization are fools for having a manager like this on the team.
  12. YearofDaCubs
    Baker had very little to do with the success of the Cubs his first season. Every year since, this club has slipped bit by bit. So you hold him accountable for this year, but refuse to give him credit for his success? Face it, Hendry let him down bad at the beginning of the season. He replaced Sosa and Alou with Hollandsworth and Burnitz. He replaced Matt Clement with nobody. He made the bullpen worse (if that was possible) and he left the bench a disaster. But yes, keep telling yourself it is all Dusty's fault. Hendry is the one who should get the axe. It's not just Dusty's fault. Hendry is to blame as well, but Dusty is a bad manager plain and simple.
  13. YearofDaCubs
    First of all I wouldnt give him a 6 year deal anyways. If we can get by with a 3-4 year deal we would be better off.
  14. YearofDaCubs
    Ha, my cousin vinny was on tv on sunday. :)
  15. YearofDaCubs
    The problem is that Dusty won't do that. These clowns will play just well enough for him to continue to insist they're still in the race. Besides he plays kids all the time in spring training... I will be dissapointed if Dusty is not fired.
  16. YearofDaCubs
    That makes two in a row and arguably 3.
  17. YearofDaCubs
    HAHA, now that Farns officially got the save I'm sure he's going to go to a bar have a dozen beers and urinate on wrigley field.
  18. YearofDaCubs
    HAHAHAHA.
  19. YearofDaCubs
    Nomar only has 8rbis for the season and we are paying him what 8mill? No thank you Nomar, we do not need your services next year.
  20. YearofDaCubs
    Unreliable Nomar?
  21. YearofDaCubs
    I'll take the over.
  22. YearofDaCubs
    Yet they sent down Murton to have Welly here? Hendry and Baker logic escapes me.
  23. YearofDaCubs
    Worthless managers as well. No doubt. This organization was so close to being a WS contender, what the heck happened? How did things go so wrong so fast? I'll tell you one reason is because Dusty couldn't control the clubhouse last year. 2004 was a circus act. Who knows maybe 2003 was an anomaly but if we are serious about getting to the World Series a lot of changes and acquisitions need to be made. Baker def has to go, and so does Corey among others. Hendry is at fault too. "Dude. Chip and Steve screwed that season over for us last year, not me or the players. They made us make baserunning blunders, fielding errors, and pay more attention to broadcasts than actual games." Interestingly enough we had a high turnover on our roster from 2004 to 2005 yet we somehow have the same errors and fielding blunders like last year. Hmm, could it possibly be the responsibility of the manager? I know for a fact that Cox holds his players accountable. he actually benched a couple of his guys who missed plays or didn't run out a grounder. Does Dusty do that? Heck no, he is a supposed player's manager who in my opinion has lost all credibility. He is a fool, and haven't liked him since he made those racial remarks.

    Time to cut our losses with Corey. He needs to go as well. I'm actually sick and tired of having worthless players on our roster. Of course we can thank Hendry for that as well. It will be interesting to see what the Cubs do this offseason.
