FIRE ROBIN VENTURA
How much longer can they take it on the south side? i see where the ballpark fans are starting to chew up ADAM LAROCHE and ALEXIE RAMIREZ and rightfully so. 12 home runs and 62 rbi's would be pretty good at this time of the year for one player but that's the TOTAL FOR BOTH. they absolutely suck and the fans are tired of it. ramirez is unfocused defensively and hitting .224 while the adam dunn look-a-like is hitting a whopping .218. not bad for ten & twelve million but at least the sox have the option for ramirez for next year if he's not traded by then. we're stuck with adam dunn jr. for another year...................... at thirteen million. but i feel a lot better after reading today that laroche is going to work his way out of the season long slump by....batting practice? watching video? working with the hitting coach???? sorry, but he's going to work on his ......confidence. lord, give me strength.
KYLE SCHWARBER has given the sewer rats on the north side plenty to cheer about as he continues to hit around .400 after ten days in the majors. reminds of a guy named JAVY BAEZ who tore them up with a similar average for a month last year before finishing at ......... .169 but as i reported earlier, schwarber is a hitting machine and MIGUEL MONTERO may find out what WALLY PIPP felt like when LOU GEHRIG took his place.
the cubs still need hitting AND a starting pitcher but do they have the guts to make a trade? counting the young guys on the roster already, the cubs have 16 solid prospects with a dozen still in the minors but they don't want to trade any of them. last time i checked, only 8 can play the field at any one time. what the cubs normally do is look for excuses NOT TO MAKE A TRADE. this guy didn't pitch well the last two starts, this guy is struggling at the plate, he makes too much money, blah, blah, blah. so they'll probably stand pat and hope they get lucky when DAVID PRICE becomes a free agent because the dodgers and yankees have very deep pockets.
p.s. the GIANTS are a half game behind the cubs for that final wild card spot. feeling cozy?
the baseball wild card races are snoozers this year as the cubs, giants and METS fight it out for the final spot and in the american league, MINNESOTA & HOUSTON have a strangle hold on the two wild card spots. seventeen teams out of thirty are playing less than .500 baseball and when you subtract the six division leaders, that leaves a total of just seven teams to fight for the wild card and two of those are just over .500 and dreaming if they think they can make it.
THANKFULLY, the BEARS start camp next week and the JAY CUTLER experience will continue for the low, low price of twenty one million dollars per year. the best part of the off season was the very lukewarm reaction to cutler by new coach JOHN FOX. is that a smile i see on backup qb JIMMY CLAUSEN'S face? methinks mr. cutler's days are numbered.
enjoy the cubs while you can. adios
