Spending a lot on piece meal signings for a year or two is not the same as serious signings like Harper. He gets out of it quickly with the former. He shouldn’t get credit for that.

This. They might win 25 games next year. And get Lou Brown from Major League or Jake from State Farm to be the manager.

Signing Harper would not have hurt.

Hopefully.

You do know that as GM Getz is responsible for hiring the guys he trusts to give him info. It’s not like he’s helpless and has to go find guys he trusts at the corner saloon.

All you can do as a fan is hope Reinsdorf moves this team and an expansion team comes in. Somebody correctly noted that an expansion team would be easier to build than this disaster a franchise.

I’m more worried about the Flubs than those other things. Those other things will never work themselves out so why worry?

Also there’s not many that think Getz is better than the other two.

I do grow tired of people saying this. Wouldn’t we all like to be successful by our own rules. That’s not a feather in our caps. I would like to be UFC champion by my rules, which would involve not getting hit and not working particularly hard. Screw Reinsdorf and his rules.

Cough … sarcasm …. Cough

Cough … sarcasm … cough

It doesn’t hurt either.

(In fairness 2005 was completely by accident. Lightning in a bottle.)

I hate that the message boards force us to click on threads we know we hate simply from reading the title. I wish the board would create a way for us to skip threads we don’t like.

Never liked him when he was with the Cubs and didn't change when he moved over. He's just so smarmy. He's got a voice that just makes you want to clock him.

He didn’t make the claim he was good. Just that the trade was bad.

I’m replaying 1979 season in APBA. The game is night and day. A quarter of the way through the season and just a couple ten strikeout games.

Wrong. APBA is the greatest game ever. IMHO

Nobody will take his salary off your hands based on a six week sample size compared with the last two years.

True

This guy isn’t an ace. He’s a decent pitcher who had one good half season. They got an underwhelming return for Cease and it will be worse for Crochet.

It’s Friday night at 11PM… Drunk posting is my guess.

I followed you. I was just ranting about Getz. One of my peeves is when idiots like you would meet at Best Buy or Verizon think they are smarter than you and think their speech is pulling the wool over your eyes. Getz is in this category. An imbecile who failed up and is the only one unaware that people are not buying his BS. You can smell the arrogance from this incompetent idiot coming through the airwaves. The hosts were not fooled but you can tell Getz hung up and pointed at himself in the mirror telling himself “job well done!”

“They” are in deeper trouble.

( He actually did completely dance around things.)
