This is my thing. I understand we are going through a rebuild. I just dont understand how people think it is just going to turn out all peaches and cream at the end. You dont know that. I dont know that. Theo and them dont know that. People have a right to be upset for the darts they have thrown at the wall because many havent stuck. Now, some people take it over board just like some people defend Theo and them on every move. Just some advice, Theo and them have made bad moves already. Its ok. All GM's make them. Now, to the people who think Soriano and MArmol contracts are killing this team is foolish as well. Soriano has been solid the past year and change. He has stayed healthy and that has always been a key for him. People who blame Hendry for this team being bad is also stupid because this is Theos team now. It would be like blaming Bush for our country state even though Obama has been in for 5 years.(not being political, making an analogy). Hendry did the best he could with the resources he was given. He came up short, but the guy would have killed himself to brign a championship to the Cubs. So, the whole knock on him is ridiculous and you lose merit with me when he is brought up. Leave the past in the past. Now, for people who say Theo needs 5 years to change this team is ridiculous becaue the Cubs are not small market. They should be able to put a competitive team out there by next year. If they dont, then I question Ricketts and his motives. I think Theo and them do what they can, but Ricketts wont open up his pockets. Yes, they are renovating and everything else but it comes a time when you have to make a splash. This team could compete with some of the right moves in the off season. They need the right bats and for their pitching to stay together. The bullpen is a mess. That may be the hardest to fix. But, people need to stop hating on people for being upset. This has been some horrible Cubs teams. The biggest thing that gets me is how not fundamentally sound the team is. I thought Sveum was brought in to make the bad plays go away. Well, it is not happening. I like Sveum as a bench coach, but I dont see him here by the time the Cubs are really ready to compete. I see both sides of the argument, but it seems people are so dramatic about protecting their side. There is a middle ground. Wish people would see that.
