DeLuca's column in today's SunTimes doesn't say anything new.  But he says it well.

That's it. DaveB must be behind "Steve Stone's" Twitter account. Or, maybe Steve Stone is behind this DaveB account and this is all an act. Either way, whoever is behind this "DaveB" character is making my brain hurt from the  unabashed ignorance.

Steve Stone's Twitter account makes me extremely hopeful that he gets a major league GM jorb. As long as it's not with the Cubs.

The true cause of the Cubs' downfall is mentioned...

Tinkering so much with the lineup -- including allowing veteran catcher Henry Blanco, a mentor for Geovany Soto, to walk away -- ruined the chemistry of this club.

"Unabashed ignorance"? Because I think that Milton Bradley's failure to come close to his offensive performance of 2008 (or many of his other years where he actually played 100 games) is a contributing factor in the Cubs' dismal 2009 season? Because I think that someone who got paid what he did should put some better offensive numbers other than OBP or draw walks? I wasn't a Bradley-basher to start with, but it's pretty obvious that he hasn't had close to the year they were expecting when they signed him. His injuries and offensive slump at mid-season forced the Cubs to play some lesser player in the OF in his absence/benching.

Chuck D, I'll put up my baseball experience/knowledge against yours, any day, anywhere. I don't come on this site to bash other commenters with some knee-jerk heckling just for the sake of riling somebody up. But if you call me ignorant, then I'm going to yap back.

Hey, DaveB.  Walks are good.  If you want to finger point, aim your stubby nubbins at Aramis missing 50 games and Alfonso Soriano being the kind of terrible only Chuck could imagine in a wet dream.  Bradley GETTING ON BASE near 40% of the time is not a reason why the Cubs are six behind the Cardinals.  Waiting to put him in a higher spot in the lineup to better utilize his high OBP is a good argument to use for the Cubs lineup not producing.

Only pics I want to see are from Gil's computer

Man, when you guys smell blood in the water, you're ruthless.

I like Dave B., even though his Theriot love is totally bizarre.
