Greg Maddux traded to Dodgers for Cesar Izturis
Except change Maddux with "Lilly and Theriot" and Izturis with "Blake DeWitt".
Either way it's as dumb as the Maddux trade from a few years ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly happy to see the Theriot Era come to a merciful end. But on the last day of the deadline Hendry couldn' have pulled better from a team than Blake frickin' DeWitt...

Dodgers Trade For Ted Lilly And Ryan Theriot
Joel Sherman reporting that it's done.
Blake DeWitt is involved, but up to two other prospects are also involved.
Updates coming, like always.
Update: Tim Brown says it's for DeWitt and two minor league pitchers.
Terrible.
DeWitt by itself is bad enough.
No offense, so downgrade offense.
No money, so trade average 400k second/third baseman...

Kelly Johnson to the Cubs?
There are rumors going around that the Diamondbacks are looking to trade second baseman to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for shortstop/second baseman Ryan Theriot and reliever James Russell.
If this is the rumor then Hendry has to make this deal. Johnson would help fill the void we have at second base. He is a career .267/. 350/. 443 hitter. He will only be 29 when next season...

Talkin' Cubs and MLB Trade Deadline
Who will stay? Who will go? The MLB non-waiver trade deadline is 3:00pm CDT this afternoon. Will Jim Hendry be a player? Or just stand-pat and finish the season with his poorly constructed roster?
Ted Lilly is in play, so is Ryan Theriot ... and he told friends Friday he feels he will be traded at some point before the deadline. Teams have asked about Carlos Zambrano and Sean...

The Cubs Get Historically Rocked - Cubs 2 Rockies 17
Game One Hundred Three - Cubs 2 Rockies 17
WP - Jeff Francis (4-3) LP - Ryan Dempster (8-8) Save - None
The 2010 version of the Chicago Cubs keep finding embarrassing ways to lose a ballgame. Just when you thought you've seen it all, Lou Piniella's pathetic excuse for a baseball team takes the field.
The Rockies turned a 5-2 advantage in the eighth into a 17-2 drubbing...

So Long Bob Howry…Again
Back in May, Cubs fans cried out that Bob Howry AKA Homerun Howry was coming back to the Cubs. For one reason or another the Chicago Cubs felt that Howry would stabilize the bull-pen with his veteran presence. However, that was not the case. While Howry started out well for the Cubs, he finished with a record of 0-2 and had an ERA of 5.66.
Needless to say the Chicago Cubs released...

Chicago Cubs Prospect Profile: Michael Brenly

Hendry on Brink of Trade Deadline Fail
With less than 48 hours to go on the trade deadline and the Cubs season over long ago, Hendry seems on the brink of not being able to move any of his overpriced talent.
Well-done sir.
The latest of course is that Derrek Lee wouldn't waive his NTC to go to the Angels who happen to reside in Southern California where he is building a home. As a 10/5 man, he has earned that right...

Re-Visiting the Derrek Lee Contract
The Cubs signed Derrek Lee to a five-year $65 million deal in April 2006. It looked like a reasonable deal at the time, but unfortunately the Cubs have not gotten their money’s worth.
Up to this point Lee has been worth 13. 8 wins above replacement. Under the assumption of about $4.5 million per win he has been worth $62 million. Barring some unexpected run in the last few months...
