2012 Chicago Cubs

[Slaky]

Wood to DL, Dempster possibly to miss a start!

The race to 120 losses is underway!

BELIEVE.

It's worked out ok for Detroit since they got their asses kicked up and down the AL a many years back.

Hmm. Let's see:

1994: 53-62
1995: 60-84
1996: 53-109
1997: 79-83
1998: 65-97
1999:69-92
2000: 79-83
2001:  66-96
2002: 55-106
2003: 43-119
2004: 72-90
2005: 71-91
2006: 95-67 (Pennant, no World Championship)
2007: 88-74
2008: 74-88
2009: 86-77  (Nearly destroyed local economy by losing 1 game playoff at Minnesota -- the "Swung On Belted Base Hit Out" Game)
2010: 81-81
2011: 95-67  (ALCS)

Hendry had nearly the same success over that time!

Crap.

[Chuck to Chuck]

2003: 43-119

2012 could be the reverse.  Well, the "Tigers could be 5 outs from a pennant and the Cubs could lose 119" reverse.

Halftime in America'd.

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

After three starts, Ryan Dempster Carlos Zambrano has a 1.33 2.85  ERA, 0.93 .95 WHIP and 23 16 Ks in 20 19 IP.

BUT NO WINS.

I see why people hate the guy now. Put down the rubber chicken and win a gameStop being such an obnoxious Hispanic, for crying out loud.

Something something Chicago fans don't like brown people something'd.

Dempster to the DL. Tony Freaking Campana is back.

DPD. Byrd might be headed to Boston. It's taking a while because Theo keeps having to delete Chris Carpenter's name from the fine print.

Byrd should be worth at least two TOP PROSPECTS, in the abstract.

Byrd in the hand... is worth two Rich Jewish Girls from Buffalo Grove?

[Saul Goodman]

Trade confirmed by Byrd himself. The Cubs get Michael Bowden, who had been DFA-ed, and a PTBNL. Sounds like Ricketts will be paying most of Byrd's salary so maybe they're buying a better PTBNL with that cash.

Deal clears some space in the clubhouse too.

I get it.

Because black dudes always carry a bunch of stuff around with them on account of not having reliable transportation and having to a. hoof it, b. take public trans c. post up wherever they is.

No you don't.  It's because he was/is fat.
