There comes a time
where regardless of how good the defense is, you have to produce. Unfortunately for Blanco, with everyone else struggling, that is not a luxury we can always afford.
Now, when your $18M a year player is struggling on both offense and defense, we have a real problem.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

I think we all understand the background now to Lou's reference the other day to
not knowing the difference between steroids and pot. Since Geo was told about the violation 6 weeks ago.
Interesting…

BB said Geo knew for 6 weeks.
I doubt that Geo went the whole six weeks without telling his manager.

what happened with Bradley? I’m assuming he just spazzed out on Lou, but I didn’t see or hear anything

hawk just hinted at it, but wouldn't say what

by WanderingWanderer on Jun 26, 2009 4:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
On the radio, the say that..
He threw the gatorade cooler and Lou and Big Z (I’m still chuckling about that one) followed him down to contain him – Lou sent him to the showers – probably to protect him from himself. I like MB, and think he’s a great player who can/will help this team – but I think he needs some version of what Soto’s been experimenting with – he may be one of the reason’s this team’s playing so tight.

or he should call Elliot Spitzer and get the phone # so he can become client #10.
the guy is wound a tad tight.
…and the hot/humid days of Chicago have yet to arrive.

We already know what Heilman brings to the table, let the kid keep throwing until he gets into trouble. He may just have a 8 pitch inning.

in Freel's defense
he’s no longer a major league level ball player, and therefore we should not expect him to execute.
Plus he doesn’t really care about the team (still can’t believe he wasn’t cut after that comment)

Sucks that Bradley might be benched for a game or two maybe for this tantrum
when we face back to back lefties the next two days

Will he get benched? By Lou or MLB?

won't be MLB, he did nothing on the field that would merit a suspension from them

Dusty would bring the reliever in to make the IBB
then the poor guy was lost pitching to the next batter. Ozzie did it the right way.
