Dead and Hardly Kicking

Well tonight we witnessed 25 guys with no pulse "run: around a baseball field for 2 hours. I may have used the term Run a little too liberally, since they didn't do much of that either. I think its time for some players to get put on the waiver wire to see what we can get for them. It is time to start thinking about next year. I'm serious, crazy as it sounds, there is probably a Market out there for both a Macias and Hollandsworth type. They have served the Cubs "well" and now its time to cut our losses and move on.

I've said this before but its worth repeating. In a year when both the A's and Braves have like 3 rookie of the year candidates on their teams, it is so frustrating to see Matt Murton not getting to go out there and do what he can do. Macias playing center field is not an option for a team even pretending to be in a playoff race, which is the only reason I can think as to why Murton didn't get at least one start this weekend.

The past week of baseball was not only losing baseball, but it was BAD baseball. The cubs got beat by teams with no more talent than them, but with more heart, brains and more "with-it-ness" than the Cubs have had all year.

It should be funny though listening to Brenley and Kasper the last two months. You have to think they'll be wary of being too critical. Look for lots of akward pauses.

Question: How come Spiers is the only coach to come out Publicly saying that the defense has been crappy. I'd start to worry about little Darren Baker's future. His father clearly can't reprimand those he is in charge of and spoils those that have done nothing to deserve it
