I usually am the best most optimistic fan I know.
But please let me vent. I ask for allowing me to vent, that my usual Cub pride
makes defend even the dumbest moves. For this I apologize.

This team stinks offensively.
Soriano is done. Its sad. Its Hendry's fault.
Bradley stinks, and always has. His last season was a mirage. Better ballplayers
went cheaper. Lou wanted Ibanez, a professional ballplayer. Hendry's fault.
Relying on Fontenot. Fonte is a good sub, nothing more. Hendry's fault.
Dumping DeRosa(while way, overvalued) was a 10 times better sub than Bradley is
as a starter.

Hendry way over paid on vets like Lee, Soriano, Zambrano, Fukodome(he is no
Ichiro), while kids like Fox and Hoffpauir sit.

Speaking of our old, should not have been hired in the first place, Lou P. Fox's
E was due to he had played 3rd base, and practiced at third for 4 weeks, and Lou
sends him out to RF? WTF? Even us weekend warriors would concede that.
Lou has publicly accepted his future job with the Yankees. What ever happened to
tampering.

Hendry overpaid, to win it all. Then to try anf fix his way over paid mess of a
payroll, he dumped the wrong guys. He dumped two clubhouse leaders, and replaced
them with crap.

I love the Cubs. Lets go Cubs. But its not looking good.

I apologize for backing Hendry. Lay it on me, I deserve it.

I have to agree with you guys that the offense is confounding. I believe it
really frustrates Santo as well. Its sad to see..Last year's line drives are
this year's outs. I thought I saw a light at the end of the tunnel for Soto and
Bradley as their batting averages raised in May and June, but thus far in July
aren't looking so good. Kosuke has started hitting again, but the enigma thus
far has been Soriano (as except for April he's not posted a OBP higher than .274
any other month), and I hope the two days off for Soriano and Soto with Von
Joshua can get them going. We're a shave past the halfway point and somehow this
anemic offense has gotten us to .500, and I believe part of that is our strong
pitching...others might be Cubbie luck if there might be a thing.
