All good ones.

Fuckin Dusty. He sat on his ass and watched Latos give up a 4-0 lead last year. And he had another 1-6 last week.

Hawk Harrellson, GM

Saving Zambrano is pretty bad, but Maddux and Brock are worse.

I'd say not getting rid of Ozzie after 2010 was pretty bad too

That's one Jerry owned up to though

That's how you know it's so bad

Oh, signing Wood to a long term deal and not even considering the Texiera for Wood deal (off season going into 04)

You have to look at the Brock deal in the perspective at the time. You can't view it in retrospect after the guy is a Hall of Famer. Broglio had already been a 20 game winner and was coming off an 18 win season and the Cubs needed a pitcher. The Cubs already had Billy Williams in the outfield and you weren't going to have two guys out there with balls bouncing off their heads. In that time, you just couldn't play an outfield that was that atrocious defensively.

The twin Swisher deals are way worse than that. You give up your best pitching prospects to get him (one of whom is Gio Gonzales), Swisher is signed for a long time and relatively cheap but when he has a bad season (the only one in his entire career), you dump him for a bunch of bums most people can't even remember a just a few years later. Horrible.

This x 10.

In no particular order:

Letting Omar Asik walk
Jerry Angelo's WR philosophy (not worth drafting high)
GarPax's affinity for athletically challenged supporting players
Trading away Gio Gonzalez
Signing Soriano

Terrell had a lot of people fooled. Bears have made "can't miss" picks that missed at RB & O. Line.

The Cubs trade Ferguson Jenkins and he wins 25 games for the Rangers.

Bill Madlock (who they got for Jenkins) was a great hitter,they dumped him because he bitched about his contract as did Jenkins before him.

It pissed me off Fergie had to wait so long to get his number retired.

Maybe not as bad as Brock and Maddox but trading Bill Matlock and Bruce Sutter were very Cublike moves during that era.

Yo...that's not Jerry Angelo

He started drafting in 2002. Terrell was a pick from the previous regime.

Or, you could be implying Angelo was correct since there are a lot of busts like Terrell around the league...?

David Terrell's "I want a thousand balls right now" is one of my all time favorite B&B drops.

"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit! This game is diarrhea coming out of my dick!"

I think it was awful because he was young, productive, and afforded the front office a lot of flexibility if they wanted to make a move using him or Noah. At the very least they could have predicted they'd be priced out of re-signing him, and figured out how to get something in return for him rather than letting him walk for nothing.

The only players who should walk away from your team without getting anything in return are has-beens or benchwarmers/scrubs. Asik wasn't any of these things.
