We've Had Enough
I think this is going to be one of the last posts in regards to firing Dusty Baker's no-managing ass. You would literally have the mental capacity of a newborn child to not be able to see that he's a terrible manager. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to take a jab at Jim Hendry. You see, back at the All-Star break, Hendry said he was going to evaluate the Cubs' situation and decide whether or not to have Baker manage out the season. He wanted to wait until all the players came off the DL to judge Baker's managerial abilities. And I use the term abilities loosely. But, now that virtually all of the players (read: Derrek Lee) are off the DL, this team is performing, and Dusty is showing how great he is.
Case in point: Since sweeping the Astros on the road in the middle of August, the Cubs are 4-19. Of those 4 wins, not one has been on the road. Hence, tonight, the Cubs are in danger of being swept for the 3rd time in their past 5 series. I guess this just goes to show that not only can the Cubs not win at home, they just can't win in general.
There are 19 games left. The Cubs are the worst team in the NL. As of today, the Cubs are the worst team by 1.5 games. Last year it was embarrassing to finish behind the Brewers. But now it's looking like we'll be no worse than the worst team in baseball.
The Kansas City Royals are a mere 2.5 games behind the Cubs. The Royals, the team who is (or at least was) hands down the worst team in baseball and is normally considered a AAA team, are 2.5 games behind the Cubs. The Cubs are getting beat up on by some of the worst teams in baseball. The Braves, who are extremely far from the class of the NL, but are not in the bottom of their division, are on the verge of sweeping us for the season. The Pirates, who were in the basement of the NL Central until the Cubs claimed their rightful spot, have taken 5 of the last 6 from us.
Jim Hendry is a genius. It takes someone with a lot of foresight to allow your manager to finish out the year, knowing that you may finish as the worst team in baseball. It also helps if you're blind and have no knowledge of the game of baseball. I don't have the energy for this any more. Please fire everyone. I'm praying to the gods of baseball.
