First of all, I wrote a long fucking rant yesterday and then it didn't post properly or save. So I said, "fuck it" and went back to work. You can't recreate it the way it was the first time. Plus, I didn't want to.
Here's a point I want to make though. In the midst of all the giddiness...yes, the Cubs are back in the hunt. Half a game back. Playing better. Still. Check this out:
> Milkit Badly: hitting .250 with 7 homers and 25 rbi's.
> Mark DeRosa: hitting .263 with 19 homers and 60 rbi's.
> Adam Dunn: hitting .279 with 26 homers and 74 rbi's.
What's that, Dave? Average and homers and rbi's don't tell the story? How's this?
> Milkit Badly: OBP of .385 and OPS of .766
> Mark DeRosa: OBP of .332 and OPS of .807
> Adam Dunn: OBP of .409 and OPS of .969
But we needed to be more left handed. Wait. Dunn is left handed.
Ergo, I can't fucking figure out this last postseason at all. Not at all. Those...the dealing of DeRosa (have you noticed our NONPRODUCTION at 2b this year?) and the non-acquisition of Dunn (in favor of the Badly signing) make absolutely no sense.
I get selling Marquis. I get trading Wuertz and some of the other deals. Not those. Not a bit.
What a different team this would be. I'll say we'd be 6 games up right now with those two all year...even with our injury issues. Maybe more.
Oh, by the way...the Phillies picked up Cliff Lee for nothing. Not that we were in the hunt for a starter, but a Cy Young level lefty might not have hurt.
Oh, by the fucking way...the Giants got Freddie Sanchez for a prospect. (See lack of production from 2b comment earlier if you don't know why this pisses me off.) And Sanchez hits about .600 in Wrigley, doesn't he? Or does it just seem that way?
Where is Jim Hendry in all this? Are his hands that tied by the ownership issue that he can't make any deals? If so, we're fucked. Again. What's next? Halladay to the Cardinals? Ichiro to the Brewers?
Fuck.
More later. Much later. Or not.

Use Bradley's numbers from the left side and they are even worse. He is in the low .200 from the left side so essentially we signed another right handed hitter. I don't get those two moves either.
I think we would be 10 games up at least if we had one of those two guys, DeRosa or Dunn.
Let's stay positive; Soriano is out of the one hole and hitting.
Randy Wells is outstanding and a ROY candidate.
Kevin Hart should give us a solid chance to win.
Fox and Hoffa belong in the line up.
Dlee looks to be swinging a productive bat, finally.
Two finger Hill is doing a quality job although I would like to see Fox back dere for a game or two just to see him in the line up.
Aram is still Aram.
PS- I check this blog before anyother eventhough it's is traveled as often as old route 66.
You've been watching Cars.
I promise to try to do better and post more often. The problem is that I frequently just don't feel as if I have anything of quality to say, you know, kind of like DaviStat 7.
I also check this blog first.
Spilt fucking milk.
Had Mr Bradley preformed at expectations, we'd also be 10 games up. Or Alf not taken a month off, or Aram off for 2 months. Some moves work, and some don't This of season is an example of those that don't. SO fuck us.
Nice to cuss openly for a change.
BUT.... the Cubs should still win the division as the talent is too superior not to.
Get over Dunn (see airplane) .
It's over done.
69 has a point. How bout, YOU WERE RIGHT SHERM, DUNN WOULD OF BEEN A BETTER SIGNING.
Adam would have 90 rbi's as a Cub. Right now. Just sayin'
Adam won't be a Cub anytime soon so move one.
