The 2010 Cubs Free Agent and Roster Moves Thread: SAVEENG OUR KUBBEEZ!!11

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

I didn't know where to put this but uh, no plz?

Can't say I could blame Aramis if he decided he wanted out.

Decent interview from the Jockey, too.

Either way, the Bradley saga has put an exclamation mark on the most disappointing season of the Lou Piniella era. Ramirez, who is second on the Cubs with 63 RBIs despite missing two months with a dislocated left shoulder, called this one the worst of his seven years in Chicago.

"We had a worse record in 2006, but we didn't have a good team then," he said.

Holy crap.  I am dumber for having read the comments section, especially this gem.

getting rid of Ramirez would just about do me in. I don't care if the Cubs ever win a World Series. What I want is a good team with interesting players. I felt the same way about Grace, De Rosa, and Wood.

Tracy Ringolsby of FOXSports.com reports that if the Rockies earn the NL wild card, Jason Marquis may not make the postseason rotation.
Marquis earned his first All-Star nod this season and went 14-8 with a 3.58 ERA over his first 21 starts, however he is just 1-4 with a 5.48 ERA over his last seven starts, making his inclusion in a potential postseason rotation questionable, especially with the return of Aaron Cook last Friday. He has two more chances to get it together, facing Brewers on Tuesday and the Dodgers in the regular season finale on Sunday.

Having Jason Marquis in the Cubs free agent thread is almost giving me a heart attack.

From the good and bad columns:

I decided to check out the box score of last night's game since I was told Dempster threw a shutout. I noticed (good) that Ryan Theriot walked four times. I also noticed (bad) that he was caught stealing twice with zero success, thus nullifying two of those walks.

Theriot should be fined every time he tries to steal a base.

He's a serviceable 2B. I bet he'd get caught less if he played his true position.

Why the fuck couldn't Gregg suffer a season-ending injury in March?

Because he wanted to be good in June and July?
