I'd take him in a heartbeat in Chicago. I'll give Hendricks one more start and after that they need to invent an injury and let him go to pasture....and 90% of our bullpen can go with him. Cubs should be 13-4 against a very tough schedule so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry never actually retired though, did he? I thought they had signed Chip for the upcoming season but Harry died just before spring training.

FritzIam4IU Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 (edited) Cubs WIn today after heartbreaking loss last night. They win 2 out of 3 against Arizona, to complete road trip at 5-4. Raise the W flag! Edited April 17 by FritzIam4IU 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Another year of having to put up the stupidity that is Davis Bell. He will take out starters to early when they are out crying well but will let bullpen guys totally blow a game wid open. Today they were down 2-1 going to the 7th and let Sims walk 4 guys and give up 3 rums before taking him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had signed Chip for the upcoming season but Harry died just before spring training. That's what I remember... Now Chip's kid, Chris, does A's games...Harry did the A's for 1 year in the early 70s before going to the White Sox, and eventually the Cubs... He was paired with Jimmy Piersall with the Sox...Boy, was that ever some top notch entertainment... And 4 generations of Carays is pretty good stuff...

IU Scott Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 What a horrible series for the Reds in Seattle. They got swept by a team that hadn't won a series this year. Today lost 5-1 and Reds only got 1 hit a home run and only two base runners all day. For my lifetime the Reds just struggle playing on the West Coast. Most of it is because for some reason our hitting disappears out west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their isn't a manger in MLB baseball that will leave a guy in after 104 pitches in the 6th inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
