Somebody Fire Somebody

Cubs just dropped 8th straight.

Who do they think they are?

The Royals?

When's football start?

This team has quit trying under Dusty Baker. If Baker makes it to the end of the season, Hendry should go with him.

******* ridiculous. The Cubs are pissing their season away and no one in the organization seems to give a sh*t.

I usually have some type of brilliant game plan I would put in place to turn this ship around. I gotta say - I'm lost - don't know where to start with this basket of dung.

1.) Baker has to go - no 2 ways about it. He won't play the youngsters and the oldsters ain't coming close to cutting it. He's also not a good tactical manager and is far too worried about being everybody's buddy. Get him outta here - but it wont do any good to pull that trigger now.

I really think next years line-up could look like this:

1B - Lee

2B - Walker - but they probably won't keep his option.

SS - Ronny Cedeno

3B - A-Ram

LF - Lawton/Murton

CF - Felix Pie

RF - Hairston/Mr.X (Vet with good slg. pct./OBP

C - Barrett

SP's - Prior, Zambrano, Wood (if clean up surgery works) - and I don't know who else.

Pen - Wuertz, maybe Maddux (if he'd buy into it)

I don't know if any of the rest of them will be around and I don't know if I'd want them.

I don't know who we get to manage them. Has to be somebody that will put up with youth.

Really bummed, but that will only last for another week and then I can revert to viewing them as the loveable losers. As sick and tired as I am doing that.

Thank God it's football season.
