ISSUE of the WEEK!

Which Starting Pitcher Should the Cubs Go After?

Except for Benes (and even that is a strong maybe) the Cubs would never consider signing one of these guys.

However, the Cubs Do Need a Solid Starting Pitcher! Who Do You Think the Cubs Should Get? Also, Who Do You Think the Cubs Will Finally Sign?

Here's What Other Miserable Cubs Fans Have Had to Say ...

I think the Cubs should go find Rick Sutcliffe and sign him. He was the savior then, and he can be the savior now!!!! 7/10/98

One too many foul balls to the head perhaps?

I think the issue of the week is not who our starting pitcher will be, but who the starting announcer will be. A nasty rumor floaring about is that Rick Suttcliffe (sp?) will be taking, certainly not filling) Harry's spot. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN! HE'S A MORON!!! Also, since the padres changed their colors about 5 years ago, isn't it about time they got a new flag for the center field pole? 2/21/98

Harry's grandson, Chip Caray will be the new announcer alongside Stoney. As for the flag, you have too much time on your

Hehe, this is a good one. I don't think they will sign for anyone, or even trade for anyone. If they did, I'd bet on a minor league pitcher. 2/13/98

Betting on Kerry Wood perhaps?

I think the Cubs are doing an excellent job compared to the signings of last year. I do agree though that the Cubs should and must sign a top pitcherr. They need leadership and quality. I think top quality should be the last ingredient to building a play-off contending team. Thanks for hearing my opinion, Tim Dennis 2/5/98

Andy Benes is on the cusp of being a 20 game winner. Plus, his family is from the chicago area. He would make a great addition to the team and solidify the pitching staff. The only knocks against him are consistentcy and durability. 1/30/98

The Cubs starting pitching seems to be adequate this year and, let's face it, the Tribune Co. is too cheap to consider paying one of these guys the 7 plus million it would take to put them in a Cubs uniform. 1/28/98
