No. I wanted Hendry gone before the deadline.
That being said, there is no one on this team that I would consider untradeable. I'd like to keep Castro maybe, but sure, trade EVERYONE. For prospects.
You know who the WAR leader is on this team?


It's Fuk.

30 years, 6 playoff appearances, only 6 playoff wins. Incredible.
I'm wondering why I like this team at all. Because my Dad was a Cubs fan? He's also a Neil Diamond fan. What does he know?

Dont lump Neil Diamond with the Cubs. Neil Diamond is awesome.

We have all witnessed Quade's screw-ups. Let's face it,his 2/3's of a season as manager compared to Hendry's 19-somthing years as farm director & GM? Walter Alston or Bobby Cox could maybe manage this team to a few more wins but the blame is all on Hendry. It still shocks me how i have seen Quade not have someone up in the bullpen on numerous occasions. I think Mark Riggins and his Ditka mustache are just along for the ride.

Hey dipshit Quade. If you are lurking on the board on your phone in the dugout get someone up in the fucking pen.

Probably would be a decent bench coach or minor leauge roving instructor. Oh wait he was a base coach. It is not that he should not have a baseball job he just should not be managing a major leauge team.

He is fine when he is someone elses bitch, but he should have no power.

He has none now. The fuckin players run the Cubs clubhouse. It is a fuckin playground for them.

I had light expectations, but I wanted this to work really bad. He seems like a good, and slightly nutty guy. He's not who I need running the Cubs. Or his upstairs friend. Help me out Tom. I might have money for season tickets next year.

He is apparently still managing. Maybe today's imminent loss will result in his termination. I am excited to see how he fucks things up today. Maybe he will allow someone to break the record last night of consecutive walks by a pitcher without recording an out. That is absurd that it was a record which means no manager was dumb enough to leave someone in that long in the history of the game.

The more I think about Mike Quade, the more I think of other Chicago baseball managers of the past without a clue what the hell they're doing. Do the names Terry Bevington and Jim Essian ring a bell?

he is the next lee elia

Jim Essian was nowhere near as bad as Quade.

Wendell Kim...that would have been something.


But how much worse could it be than 'Wad has been?

I really hate these fucking guys.

I can see hating 'Wad or Demp or Hilly

What about Casty?


*The nickname thing is bothering me a little bit

The only position players I care for are Castro and Barney. Tony Campana is Miguel Dilone.

All the pitchers should be nothing but trade bait.

I fucking hate the management.

I actually heard him refer to the pitching coach as "Riggy" today in the post-game.

Essian actually had a clue but was brought down by horrible management. Sounds familiar does it not? Quade is the worst I have seen since Preston Gomez. Herman Franks was Einstien compared to these idiots.
