RockRaines Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 11:12 AM) Im sure there have been instances, every fanbase is going to have its fair share of creepers. Just remember everytime you knock cubby fans your knocking bulls/bears fans too which most of us on this board also cheer for. I honestly have no idea what your point is here. Most of the "new" Hawks fans that I hate are also the fairweather Cubs fans I hate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If that wasn't such a bad contract, I'd say Bradley doesn't last more than one season with the Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Wow did that bullpen implode. Why does this thread cease to exist when the cubs are playing bad. Lil Fontenot during hte Hawks game was classic at third and the enemic D'Backs offense really showed how mediocorethe cubs can be. Dempster is coming down to earth and Marmol really needs to regain his stuff or it will be a long year. The best approach with Marmol is to wait him out.

I agree it's early, but I think he got a free pass with the Bradley deal when it happened. There should have been articles questioning it. Look at how few games he plays every year, the one time he played over 140 he was basically average and then look how few he's ever played in the field. Especially after Abreu's and Dunn's contracts it is even worse of a deal. Now the thing people will use to defend him with the Abreu and Dunn contracts are that they were so much later, but part of being a GM is seeing where the market is going, which he clearly did not do.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 As the architect of a winner, Jim Hendry is enjoying a nice run in Chicago. But he does have critics. They argue he mostly has thrown money at the Cubs' deficiencies. That's basically all he's done for about five years. And people are starting to complain now? Other than assf***ing the Pirates way back in 2003 and the Lee/Choi trade that following off-season, Hendry has proven to be inept as far creativity and maneuvering goes.

Balta1701 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 They gave Marmol the 8th today, he walked Gload and Bonifacio to start the inning and gave up the tying run without giving up a hit thanks to an error. His ERA did go down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi Town Sox Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I know Zambrano a pretty good pinch hitting pitcher...but pinch hitting him with 2 on and 1 out before taking anyone off of your bench!?!?!

Obviously they think they are in for a long day ! They're a man short already due to Aramis being injured. I don't see the problem with it, as Zambrano has as much power as anyone on that roster besides Soriano/Aramis. Harden had a terrible start today (about time for a DL stint), but the Marlins pitcher is awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane0730 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 It would be great if the Cubs hang on and lose this game today. They were HUGE favorites (-$300). The panic level would reach a new high for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
