I agree with ElgoodBill, the time to start backing up the truck should start immediately, start with the manager and about 10-12 players on this awful team....
-LOL nevin a great pickup? Nevin will only be a great pickup if he stays hot and the cubs are smart enough(which they arent)and he brings us a few prospects...
Gary, If Dusty doesn't play Pagon, we won't find out what he can do. Since we aren't going anywhere anyway, it certainly wouldn't hurt to play Pagon. That...

is that the cubs are trying to work him into one of the upcoming firesale deals. Back that truck up Jim,theres a ton of trash that needs to be dumped....
b_martin, I truly believe that if he had hit eighty home runs and driven in three hundred runs since the Cubs got him, you'd be saying that he wouldn't be a ...
Im really hoping that Nevin would go on a nice hot streak before the all-star break so that the cubs can trade the guy and hopefully pick up a couple fringe...

Ron: The walk disease is not limited to Dempster. It seems the entire staff has far too many walks. But it was sickening to see the end of the game today. I...
I was out eating dinner with my family yesterday. My brothers liked the Sox before but they've been more outspoken about their "favorite" team in the past few...
Steve, Games like yesterday's are the toughest ones to endure. Actually, if we'd have won that game we would have finished the season series against the Sox ...

... While I certainly haven't been pleased by Dempster's performance it is pretty hard to close when you only get a genuine opportunity to save a game once a...
Many in this group were very optimistic in the preseason about this team of Cubs. They played well in the beginning. Even without Prior, Wood and Miller. There...
Sometimes we are just forget that the Cubs are entertainment, good or bad. As bad a loss as yesterday was, I had to see what time today's game was gonna start...
It's best to remember, gentlemen, that Pagan is a career Triple-A player. Don't expect him to do this every day- or even every week. He's a fourth or fifth ...
The Cubs are not entertainment. They are an aggravation. --CF4L ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!...
Hey gang, We've been waiting for this for quite some time! When was the last time we scored this many runs? How about that Pagon with a homer and single thus...

And again, I don't want to say that I told you so....BUT... Dusty is not a good manager. He is directly responsible for the lack of fundamentals practiced on ...
I was listening to the post-game show on Comcast with Dan Plesac and I have to agree with him: the Cubs need to start deciding now which players are going to...
Mark, I don't believe it was Dusty's fault when we lost Saturday's game. He brought in Dempster who he felt could get the job done. Dempster was the one...

Bob, I humbly disagree. Sitting on the bench or going back to AAA doesn't work. It destoys confidence and I don't feel that is managing and motivating...
Bob, Ultimately,I agree that the manager is responsible for many of the things you mention and maybe he needs to be fired. But that will not solve the Cubs...
Dusty doesn't have a team, admittedly. He should not be blamed for the players not doing their jobs. He should be blamed for not doing his own job. --CF4L ... ...
That's certainly the contemporary way of looking at things. Sort of like social promotion in grade school. So what if the kid can't read? Holding him back...
Bob, Back when Leo Durocher managed the team, I wonder if he would have done what you suggested to players who lacked motivation or weren't playing ...
