The columnists have been brutal on the Cubs today. It is not undeserved. Early in the season I thought that the team was showing some character. Role...
... showing ... I gotta pin this one on Dusty. Not that he doesn't know what he's doing...he's doing the same thing he's always done. Just, this time, it...
Stone's comments anger Cubs .c The Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) - WGN-TV analyst Steve Stone met Friday with <A HREF="aol://1722:Cubs">Chicago Cubs</A>...
Screw the CUbs, I hate those guys. I guess I can catch up on "Lost" and "everwood" now that I am DONE WITH THE CUBS! Till next season anyway, or maybe when the...
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PERSUE ARMANDO BENITEZ! HE IS A SUCK-ASS PITCHER IN THE WALK YEAR OF A CONTRACT! If the Cubs were to sign him, we'd be talking...
Great. A reliever who would never want to leave the bullpen. Clement has nasty stuff, but a teeny-tiny sack. He can enjoy Shea Stadium next year... ... even be...
I think every prospective closer the Cubs get is dubbed "the next Mel Rojas." Guy's not as good as his numbers say, and he'll always be questionable in the...
I love Stoney for having the balls to say what every smart fan is thinking. ... general manager Jim Hendry ... managerial strategy and ... moves in the ... ...

... Gotta agree here. One good year does not a solid closer make. We've been burned here before. I personally would not mind at all seeing Dempster given a...
... Clement ... I've been one of Clement's biggest supporters, and even I must say, no dice. Not only because of his questionable fortitude, but because his...
Yeah. My favorite is the "it went beyond constructive criticism" line. Um, when did Stone become a coach? When did it become his job to offer constructive...
We've got studly arms throughout the minors, why not give someone a shot? Leicester? St. Jean? I'd say Sisco, but he might have the same gray matter as...
As far as I know, the only other decent closer available is Percival, but he has nagging arm problems. I bet Hendry will pull off some move for a reliable guy...
Bah - you just need to find a good pitcher to get the job done in the ninth. Look at Joe Nathan. Relievers are a mercurial lot, and wasting money on a 'proven'...
Judas Priest! If they get some mealy mouthed homer to do the color I may just give up. What is this, the Soviet Union? North Korea? We don't need someone to...
Face it, though, the bench stunk. When Hollandsworth got hurt, it was really weak. Macias is so-so with no patience and not much power. Martinez is done....
Well, first off, Stone was not fired first time around. He stepped down due to health concerns. My guess is that both Stone and Baker will be back. Stone had...
I have to agree. I don't see a role for Clement at all. Rusch will do just fine as a fifth starter until one of the kids arrives. jim in indiana ... Clement ...
I agree with you. I am thinking David Wells might do well out of the pen for some reason, or maybe a finesse pitcher with no real fastball. After looking at...
Rusch may have 'found it' but his long term track record is not good. ... do just fine as a fifth starter until one of the kids arrives. ... He ... all ... he ...
