Hendry

is having a really, really, really bad year. Every decision he’s made has gone to shit.

McGehee
DeRosa
Miles
Gaithright
Freel
Bradley
Marquis
Fox (not calling him up a month ago)
Patton
Heilman
Gregg (he’s the worst closer on any contending team)

I’m sure I’m forgetting some bad moves, but man how do you keep your job after having that much failure with that much money?

Helps your argument. But look at ANY of his past stats. Even Brewer fans don’t believe he can keep it up.

So those of you

nitpicking, are you saying that Hendry’s off-season was anything less than horrendous? Because Wood didn’t do well, you couldn’t have predicted that McGehee would play well, and Gregg has been average—is that some kind of endorsement of Hendry? Or are you just quick to argue with anything because we’re all crabby about the game today?

I choose to wait until October to judge.

I think

The only really bad decision appears to be signing Miles and Gathright. I don’t really think Freel got a chance. Marquis was a salary dump, and let’s see how he does in the second half before we decide giving him up was a bad idea.

It’s too soon to write the book on Bradley, Patton, Heilman and Gregg. Heilman has had some good outings lately, and we already talked about Gregg. Every bullpen has a guy like Patton.

Did

you miss the May and June numbers? You can’t possibly be in favor of Soriano continuing to play, can you?

I’m not saying bench him forever, but he should definitely go on the DL and do a little rehab stint til he gets his swing back. He has proven that he’s not going to just “pop out of it”

DEJESUS!!!

by tomas21 on Jul 4, 2009 2:23 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

he should only go

on the DL if he’s injured.

he got his rest. He will not start hitting again sitting on the bench.

I'd rather he not hit

on the bench than not hit in the lineup.

He comes up in key situations every single game, and fails every time. ANYONE else in the spot would occaisionally come through.

DEJESUS!!!

except

when he was moved down earlier in the season, we had SEVERAL clutch situations come up with Riot at the plate — and Riot missed on ALL of them.

…and I truly don’t know the answer to solve his problems. But we’re not going to pay the guy what we pay him to sit. If he figures it out, great. If he doesn’t……well….it’ll be an interesting off season.

I’d take anyone on the Cubs MLB roster at the plate over Soriano, pichers included. He has to be the worst hitter in baseball right since May.

Drew

You are usually one of the most positive contributers here, which I appreciate.

by drewishdrewid on Jul 4, 2009 3:43 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

One reason

Drew has an irrational view of what kind of player Soriano is. He refuses to acknowledge that he is in decline, perhaps severe decline, and has wild and blind hopes that he rights his season. He would rather have Soriano’s replacement fail than have him succeed, hence his negative views on Sam Fuld. He claims he’s the ultimate Cub fan yet he’s really more concerned with who is steering the ship, in this case Soriano, than whether that captain reaches the correct port, in this case, the Cubs winning. Pretty simple.

Who needs a stinkin' tag line? What are they for anyway?

by krummy12 on Jul 4, 2009 3:45 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah, right

Check out my play by play from yesterday. I was cheering for Fuld all the way.

I’m not the one who only shows up in game threads when we’re losing, and slams the players.

Your unseen “resume” may be wonderous, but you sure don’t understand being a fan, and you sure don’t have any insight into me.

I like Sam Fuld just fine for what he is — a replacement player. He’s exceeding expectations. That’s great. But Fuld can’t carry us to the playoffs. If Soriano can get going, he can.

Fly ball to left

caught by Braun. Three outs.

Fuld didn’t give us anything more than Soriano did. :P

Yes, it was a "whuppin", but it still only counts as 1.

So win tomorrow and all’s good…

You win 50, and you lose 50

This is one of the 50 you lose. Go get em tomorrow.

it's an old baseball saying.

every team wins 50 games.
every team loses 50 games.

It’s what you do with the other 62 that matter.
