Ugh. The Cubs are themselves...again. Sportsline has this for us from the Cubs GM, Jim Hendry...
Dusty is going to get every opportunity to manage the club and get us out of this hole, and he's going to get an opportunity to manage this club when we get healthy the next couple of weeks also.
An open letter to Jim Hendry...
Dear Jimmy,
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. (Will Rogers)
Love,
Steve
So how long until ownership fires Hendry and replaces him with a GM who will fire Baker?

Probably when the owners sell the team. I'm preaching out of Ecclesiastes and on foolishness, and the Cubs are a great illustration from top to bottom. :)

I see this more as a lesson from Romans 9:13, paraphrased, of course, "As it is written, the Cardinals I have loved, but the Cubs I have hated"
...Sorry for the drive by, I couldn't help myself. I was looking at introducing the word "missional" into the vocabulary of my Bible study tomorrow, so I was looking for the Keller link. I heard that I have to pay a royalty to someone if I use the term without reading his stuff first...

as a braves fan, in this our season of discontent, we thank you, o mighty cubs!

You know, you would think as I post on the Cubs and so openly admit the bad stuff that it would be enough. But no. I get Cards fans and Braves fans rubbing it in. Aren't decades and decades of losing enough for you? ;)

IT gets worse. Today, we have another pitcher making his major league debut as a starter, who was 5 years old when Smoltz, his opponent, made is debut. Ughh.

Easy on the Cubs...

Lukas, please ask the Cubs to be easy on their fans. :)

No offense but you guys have nothing to complain about.
I live near KC, and the Royals are once again going to have the worst record in the Majors. AND, we must have the worst GM in all of Baseball. I have been listening for the last 7 years about all the great young talent we have. Unfortunately that young talent never wins any games and those who are actually talented get out of town as quickly as possible. That's why we're the best farm system at least in the AL but probably all of MLB.

Try being a Tigers fan (not counting this year).

good word on the royals. i liked them back when they had Beltran, and whenever i'm in KC, i'm all about the 5$ tickets in the nosebleeds, but i hate to see them getting drubbed year after year. where are you now, george brett?

I'm sitting here trying to decide which of the Braves' victories over the Cubs in the weekend sweep was my favorite.
I think scoring the tying AND winning runs on a sac fly narrowly edges out a pop up off the third baseman's head.

Just to clarify for those that may not have seen it - the tying and winnning runs scored on the SAME SAC FLY. One sacrifice, two runs.
