Yes, unfairly
Almost every one of these players has helped us win at some point in the season. Remember? That was one of the great things about this team.
Have some of the players sucked? Has there been a teamwide slump? Yes. But to say that a player who hasn’t played well in three f*cking games is worthless is stupid. I’m sorry, I’ve tried to avoid saying something like that, but it’s stupid.

The answer is NO, but he has rocks and shows up when it counts. It is not just Ok anymore to get to the postseason. We need some heros on this team, not selfish one dimensional guys who lose their one dimension the moment the calender turns to October. I know it is just three games, but those three game are more important than lead off homers against the Pirates in June!!!!!!

No, he's not a great fielder
But this crap abou him being a leadoff hitter is absolute BS. A leadoff hitter is guaranteed to hit first once in a game. Once. I’d much rather have a good hitter getting a lot of at bats than not. If you could get lots of players with plus bats and plus gloves, you’d probably need a $300 million payroll. And, as the Yankees have shown, that doesn’t always win it either.

After all, the point is not to win more games during the season so you get into the playoffs. The point is to have players who come up big in the postseason and just hope and pray you somehow get there.

Thank you all for this experience. It’s been one of my favorite Cubs seasons, in part because I got to share it with all of you.

We'll catch a break
When we make one for ourselves. Might need a couple more “playoff” players, though. We are still too streaky and prone to freezing up when facing good playoff pitching. A lot of getting ourselves out.

This is a damn good dodger team.
They have Manny now and a healthy Furcal, and their pitching is very good.

The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI for Cubs...ditto for Soriano
