Cubs win 5 of the last 6 games, trade with Dodgers bogus

Finally something had sparked a plug in the Chicago Cubs. They did lose their first game against Arizona, but rebounded Tuesday winning 9-3. The lineup hit 4 homers (Ramirez, Jones, Barrett, and Murton). Rich Hill was able to record his first win in the Majors as he pitched 8 innings while giving up 3 earned runs on 6 hits and a walk. The rookie struck out 6 in the effort. The lineup collected 12 hits. Neifi Perez got the start at second base and will most likely be a regular everyday position player.

Right before the trade deadline the stubborn Cubs GM finally decided to work a few deals. I still can't believe, which goes for any team, that Greg Maddux would be traded for someone like Cesar Izturis! Has Jim Hendry lost his f**king mind?!! Talk about demising a veteran player's value, these guys in the front office are dim and are so incompetent. I don't see any damn logic behind acquiring an infielder is mediocre at best, hitting .260 on the year, and doesn't have any power. Speed is not an issue here. The Cubs already have that.

It getting to be a tired old pattern and disgrace of how Cubs management depreciates their best players' worth to the team. For God sakes, Maddux is 40, but you can a hell of lot better than retrieving a small-market, no-name infielder who doesn't have a proven track record. The trade is stunning, why would any team waste such quality talent and leadership? You stupid ass, sorry son of b****, f**king jackasses! The one good deal was shipping Todd Walker to the Padres. Yet again the Cubs got practically nothing in exchange ( I kinda expected this anyway, they should've added Walker in a 3 or 4 player trade, heck it probably still wouldn't have made a difference). The Cubs got some pitcher, Jose...oh who gives a shit! Like this unknown player can really help the Cubs.

Today Carlos Marmol (4-4) gets the start against Enrique Gonzalez (3-2) at Wrigley 8:00 p.m. ET. I'd like to see Aramis continue his red hot streak and crank out a few dingers. I swear though if Dusty gives Mabry the start again at first I might have to send him some hate mail. The guy is pushing the envelope too far. Use Nevin at first, hello he has power and can drive in runs in the clutch! Dusty, please reevaluate your lineup and push Jones and Barrett up towards the middle of the order. They belong there. Go get 'em Cubs!
