I will forrever think of Aaron Miles, Kevin Gregg and Soriano swinging at sliders 10 feet off the plate.

I don't like Hendry either

Five outs away from the pennant and the pitching imploded

Is there something that we could do on here as a group that would be productive?
Talk about ways that this team can legitimately improve themselves? Really do. Not ditching bullshit contracts that won’t happen.
"How's your mother?"
"She's on her way out."
"We all are. Act accordingly."
I was going to post about that
in the fan posts. But then I closed the window. Basically, how can the Cubs improve themselves through free agency over the winter?

I think he'll go to Spring Training with the club, but won't break camp with the big boys
Jimbo will either trade him or cut him by the end of March.

If we do trade him
We’re still going to have to eat some of his contract.

Closer role
Second base (Theriot at second!), shortstop all can be improved I think. Harden is debatable.
I'm hoping Andy Blanco can improve at his AB's.
If it happens, I think we found ourselves a SS. :D

Too many long term huge contracts for me to do that.
It’s just too frustrating knowing no other teams want them. We will be lucky to unload one of these messy contracts and even then we will have to eat most of the money to do it. I’d need a truckload of Rolaids for it.

There was
a game earlier in the season when Lou went out to get the pitcher and he literally staggered out to the mound. At first I thought he was drunk, but then realized he was just having a tough time with mobility. I don’t know if he has diabetes or what, but he is not well.
Stiff joints
weight problems… all that travel. NEVER a day off.
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
At first I thought
he had really aged but then it hit me that he does not look well. Not to sound cruel but if he is not well he should step down, He’s not helping this team the way he is now.

It's hard to give up something you enjoy that much
My guess is that Lou wants to see it through to the end.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
I truly believe he would step down
but I think he feels obligated to stick it out. It is so clear to anyone with eyes that his heart isn’t in it.
For the rest of the year
or the rest of his contract? I can see staying the rest of the year but not the rest of his contract.

I'd just like to see them compete..
they look like they go out and try to win the game in the first few innings, and then just give up. I hate that. Baseball is fun because you can go out and compete for 9 innings and know you still have a shot. The young guys on the team seem to get that, but the rest of the team just cynically hangs it up. It’s ugly, and it’s not baseball.

If you like Selig's handling of the steroid issue, you'll love his choice for next Cub owner.
Nah, they'll win the Sunday game
and sportscasters will say that the Cubs may be turning a corner…until they loose the first two games of their next set…
could happen

C'mon Cubs, hurry up and blow this so I can relax.

we just need Soriano to go on one of his "hot streaks"
I’m laughing as I type that.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

He's been on one
you just didn’t know he added a word
hot garbage streak
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
That would really piss
Clutche off if he did and they made the playoffs.

someone had the t-shirt idea earlier
“bases loaded…. no runs”

And the Cubs lose
7 games back and counting.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.

Hey we need a lefty
Red Sox released Chris Duncan.
Sorry I had to.
"How's your mother?"
"She's on her way out."
"We all are. Act accordingly."
Id bet a nickle the Cards pick him back up

And he hit .400

Meant to say he'll

just like lugo
awful for months… then hot in STL.
larussa’s deal with the devil has to end at some point, doesn’t it?

Probably if he was manager of the Cubs
Then the devil would say, “Look buddy. Even my deal with you can’t go that far.”

We need to get him just for the ex-Cardinal mojo we had with Edmonds last year.
Aaron Miles isn’t working.

Jim Mora for manager
Those press conferences after losses like this would be hilarious.

Kauffman is supposed to be beautiful
have a safe trip!

You think this is beautiful?
Allie, Allie, Allie… we’ve got to find you a boyfriend. ;-)
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Its very hard...
…to pay attention to the game at the K. They have a freakin merry go round and mini golf course behind the outfield. But I guess the team is so bad they actually do everything they can to take your attention off the field so you don’t notice.
I really hope the Cubs come to KC next year. They are due back.
Tim Gunn for Cubs manager
“make it work” guys.

Can you believe
we’re 7 fucking games out?
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
We're we in first place earlier this month?
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
I hate losing to the Dodgers.
Before last October I had no opinion one way or the other about them, but since then I’ve loathed them from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet.
If they don’t take this series I’m going to lose it. Or something else dramatic.
And they'll lay down in the playoffs to th Cards just to torture us.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
From the perspective of a baseball fan
I think that would be a heckuva series: Manny vs Albert - Ethier -vs Holliday, Bilinglsly vs Carpenter.
You saw a nice preview at Dodger Stadium earlier this week.
Night all.

I feel bad for the fans
This team just keeps finding ways to break our hearts.

To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub.
We can still win 3 of 4!!! Even if the likelihood that we will is not very high.
Eamus Catuli!
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein
