I'd like to thank the Chicago Cubs

Featured Replies

For Dontrelle Willis and Ricky Nolasco :)

 

Thanks cubbies!

 

Wow, seriously, I didn't think Nolasco could get anywhere near 10 wins, but he's on his way.

What I find funny is Philly fans are leaving the Bank tonight thinking they won b/c Chase Utley got a hit :lol

 

 

Great win tonight guys. Gotta love watching these young arms dominate. Let's take game 2 tomorrow!

Hey... ya gotta take the good with the bad. ;)

I'm sure they'd like to thank us for ripping them off from the PIerre trade. Although the way that I see it, they did rip us off with the Derrek Lee trade. :mischief

Hendry must just be so sick...one has to wonder if his job is on the line along with Dusty's?

 

 

I read a blurb in the PBP today that the Cubs announced Dusty wouldn't lose his job this season. As far as Hendry goes, we'll see.

Now that you mention it, Hendry did say that Baker's job was safe for the rest of the season; makes one wonder if it truly is. :shifty

 

 

EDIT: PBCMarlinsFan, you beat me to it.

Since Hendry's making an announcement on it, it leads me to believe that he's considering firing him after the season.

Well they haven't made the playoffs with him yet.

I really don't see it that way. We had $$ restrictions and could only keep a couple of guys. We kept Lowell and Sea Bass. DLee became expendable. Most fans understood that and were okay with it. He only averaged about a .255 BA with us and most everyone knew that would skyrocket in the "Friendly Confines" of CubbyTowne.

I would love to thank the Cubs as well. I would say we really did a great job scouting their minor leagues when we traded JP. Look at the players we got in return:

 

Ricky Nolasco - we all know his stats. 9 wins, tied for team lead with Scott Olsen

Renyel Pinto - brief stint with the club. 8-2, 3.40 ERA for AAA Albuquerque

Sergio Mitre - started strong and then went to the DL. He's still got lots of promise

Since Hendry's making an announcement on it, it leads me to believe that he's considering firing him after the season.

 

This is the last year of Baker's contract; so they just wouldn't re-sign him.
