you have to say, the man's got a point.

Quote:
Chicago Cubs: OBP black hole Jacque Jones isn't worthy of prime real estate at the local landfill, much less in a major-league lineup. This was a poor offensive team last year and GM Jim Hendry did nothing to improve it, plus you know that Dusty Baker will somehow find a way to burn 400 at-bats at the altar of The Execrable Neifi Perez. The 2006 Cubs are about to find out what happens when you remove the "lovable" from "lovable losers." Basically, they're the Devil Rays with fewer prospects and a more vegetative outfield fence.

When I root agains the Sox it's because of attitudes like this eminating from the South Side.

I still root for the cubs Todd, but I did LOL at this because of the line about Neifi.

I'm not expecting much from Jock but I do think this team will be better than last years.

I don't even understand what that said.

All I do know is that the Reds are going to be a force soon with their new ownership and new GM!

god, no kidding. I have no idea why the fuck Dusty loves Neifi Perez. I mean, yeah he played out of his mind at the beginning of the season filling in for Nomar. But later he finally remembered that he is Neifi Perez and played like it, to no ones surprise. but the majority of Dusty's decisions baffle me. Like batting Jose Macias and Neifi Perez 1 and 2, respectively. Also, spending the beginning of 2003 batting LENNY HARRIS leadoff. LENNY HARRIS.

With the WS win last October, I decided to bury my long-standing cubs axe. Which means I can objectively say that they had the worst offseason in recent memory.

i can think of much, much worse offseasons. besides, we needed a leadoff hitter and no corey patterson. check. we really needed bullpen help. check. no furcal + signing jacques jones sucks, but hey its the cubs.

The cubs had a middling offseason, IMO. My main problem with them is how incredibly weak defensively they seem up the middle. Barrett is terrible at throwing runners out, Walker (is that really who's still starting) has the "bad glove" moniker attached to his scouting report and Pierre has no arm. Perez is a good enough defender, but not good enough to save the Cubs from the other three.

From someone who followed the Valentin-era Sox with a lot of heartache, I can tell you that no defense up the middle will kill you.

I dunno, man. The money you gave Howry and Eyre, 2 relivers with 2 decent years between them, was pretty ridiculous. Pierre is a good pick up... great leadoff hitter, awful defensive CF. But, you can hide his arm in that ballpark. Jones is a worse fit for Wrigley than Damon is for Yankee Stadium.
