Four Words

So much blather on the radio about bunting lately. The Cubs should have bunted Aramis Ramirez last week. The Cubs should have squeezed Korey Patterson from third with Derrek Lee up last night. To all of you who think that, I have something to tell you:

You are all idiots.

Ramirez has not had a bunt attempt in 4 years. So you idiots want him to try to bunt now? What do you want next? Howard Stern to do prop comedy? Lee would have driven in Patterson with any sort of contact. If he misses the bunt, Patterson is dead! Better to have Lee try to make contact with a swing -- which he often does -- an possibly drive the ball for a double.

What the hell is wrong with Cubs fans these days? The problem with this team is Jim Hendry doesn't have a top of the order that can consistently get on base! Dusty Baker lack of bunting is as much the problem with the Cubs as anorexia is for Ashley Olsen!
